Backyard fun isn’t just for the summer. Now, with social distancing orders in effect and people spending more time at home than ever before, there’s a greater need to make those living spaces fun and relaxing to spend time in. Your backyard may have always been the area you only frequented in the summer, when the pool was open and the grill was fired up, but make no mistake – the fall season is also an opportune time to get quality fun out in your backyard.
The weather is just right – not too hot, not too cold. And the mosquitoes have made their retreat for the most part.
Here are some ideas for creating a backyard oasis perfect for the upcoming fall season here in Connecticut.
Warmth
When the temperatures do drop, late at night – it’s great to have a place where you can still gather and get warm. Create an inviting fire pit area with seating for you and guests to enjoy. You can even keep some warm fuzzy blankets for people to cuddle into as you enjoy the cool fall nights. Don’t forget the S’mores too. You can’t have a fire going and skip the marshmallow roasting!
Games
If you’re looking for some fun to have out there even after the pool has been closed for the season, there are lots of fun games. From giant oversize classics like Jenga, Dominos and Unos being sold this time of year at retail locations, or you could look online for some inspiring DIY games sure to bring fun to any crowd. It’s also football season so don’t forget to pick up a ball to toss around too!
Comfort
If you’re wanting to still enjoy eating your meals al fresco for a little while longer, you can also keep your patio open and furniture protected by adding a retractable awning. Aladdin Inc.offers a number of colors and styles to choose from so you can turn your deck or patio into a gorgeous outdoor room.
