Due to our backyard getting full afternoon sun, we decided to try a pergola for shade and we were pleasantly surprised with the way that this Kozyard brand came together. It has survived the northeast Ohio winter and still looks great. This brand is ...

Harbor Breeze 24-ft Plug-in Black Outdoor String Light with 12 LED Edison Bulbs
This fan was on sale at home depot a few years ago for $99, and it's even cheaper now! The speed control dial is on the fan so adjusting can be difficult. We keep it on speed two and control the power with a smart plug. In the future we might conside...
Hampton Bay Conyer 20 in. Indoor/Wet Outdoor 3-Speed Anywhere Fan Matte Black with Convenient Hanging Hook SFZ-500-2
This is one of my few contributions to our deck, but if you are into smart home tech this product is worth checking out. We attach our string lights and ceiling fan to this plug and it allows us to control both of them with Siri. Sometimes it's nice ...

Impressive build quality and deep seats for comfortable lounging. Cushions are sturdy and on the firm side.
Cambridge Casual Catalina Teak Sectional Sofa Patio Set, 8pc
This rug is the perfect size for underneath the sectional and because that part of the deck is not covered, the rain “washes” any dirt or stains away and then it dries in the sun.

These are the tabletop version of the traditional in-ground tiki torches and these are must-haves for spending the night outside in our area.

The one-gallon is a better value - you will use more of the fuel than you think in the table-top torches.
