Creating your dream backyard doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether you’re looking to enhance your outdoor space for summer barbecues, fall evenings, winter gatherings, or spring blooms, there are plenty of easy, cost-effective and simple additions that can make a huge difference. So, wondering how to make your backyard more enjoyable? Here are the top 15 backyard essentials to transform your outdoor space into an incredible living area all year long.
1. EVAFLOAT Floating Mattress
If you have a home with a pool (or are in the market for one), having an EVAFLOAT floating mattress to keep you comfortable in the water is a true backyard must-have. Designed to provide ultimate relaxation, it supports your body as you drift effortlessly on the water. Whether you’re soaking up the sun or enjoying a cool dip, this floating mattress is a simple, but luxurious, addition to your backyard essentials.
2. Portable Speaker System
What’s a backyard party without music? A portable speaker system, especially one that floats, is a must-have for setting the mood, whether you’re hosting a summer pool party or enjoying a cozy winter evening.
3. Pizza Oven
Backyard dining goes beyond the BBQ with an outdoor pizza oven. Perfect for any season, a pizza oven allows you to make delicious, personalized pizzas without the delivery fees. It’s a fun way to get outside and enjoy the company of family and friends.
4. Robotic Pool Cleaner
For homes with a pool, a robotic cleaner is a game-changer for pool maintenance. It saves time, is energy-efficient, and keeps your water sparkling clean by removing debris from those hard-to-reach places, ensuring a clean pool without lifting a finger.
5. Hot Tub
Extend your backyard season all year round with a hot tub. Perfect for sore muscles, relaxation, and escaping the daily grind, a hot tub by Marquis® will bring years of enjoyment.
