Waterproof globe lights
Promising review: “I am loving my new lights! Just got them up in time for hanging out on the back deck for springtime. They give a great outdoor cafe feel to my back deck. I advise purchasing extra light bulbs when purchasing these lights. It comes with one extra, but they are extremely fragile/delicate. We ended up breaking four total during the hanging process.” — charlee harris
And solar-powered mason jar lights
Promising review: “I purchased these solar lights last weekend for my front porch space re-do, I absolutely love them! They are high-quality, and work great. I like that they have an on/off switch on the underside of the lid, so I can turn them off when I’m finished using them for the night. I’m very happy with my purchase and will definitely recommend these to anyone.” — Deborah M. Mehaffie
A chic outdoor patio set
Promising review: “Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux fur chair pads, a beanbag style poof footstool, and some boho throw pillows, and love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set.” — Baby blues
A durable, fast-drying outdoor area rug
Promising review: “The colors are very nice, and you can just hose it off anytime. It certainly has brightened up the deck in my backyard. Update: I have had this outdoor rug for over two months. It has been rained on many times, and so far, the rug is holding up great. I am planning on buying a second one! I love it.” — Dr. Oceanfront
A high-voltage insect zapper
Promising review: “Usually if I am outside with a group of people, the bugs come hunting for me and nobody else gets bitten if I am in the area. I got tired of putting on bug spray every time I go out on the patio, so I bought this to try and it has made a huge difference. I turn it on for a little bit every night, even if I am not outside, and you can hear and see it doing its thing, and now I can sit out back and have no bug spray and nothing bothers me. Very effective product. On the recommendation of some other reviews, I also purchased a Black Flag Octenol Lure to help attract even more bugs and I think it helps too.” — Todd F
A cosmic-themed fire pit
Promising review: “Got this as part of our backyard renovation project. Shipping was super fast, received it earlier than expected. Large fire pit, super easy to assemble. It’s a sturdy piece! I read the reviews and decided to take some precautions — we drilled three drain holes at the base, fast and easy to do. We also bought a cover just in case. Used it the same day during a chilly NC night to watch an outdoor movie with friends and blankets in the backyard. Worked amazingly and kept us toasty. Love the cutouts! Friends asked where we got it all night. Would recommend to anyone!” — Isabel
Or a tabletop glass fireplace
Promising review: “Absolutely beautiful! I bought this for a friend, and she had a great time putting it together. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I got the deluxe box with extras, and it didn’t disappoint! The wooden forks for the s’mores were perfect. The overall structure is sturdy and adds such an ambiance, a perfect centerpiece while chatting it up for hours! Definitely recommend.” — Megan
And a pack of marshmallow roasting sticks
Promising review: “Roasted a lot of marshmallows on sticks and clothes hangers. The MalloMe sticks make it so much easier and more fun. First, they are compact, easy to carry, and easy to find in their own bag. Next, it is easy to put a marshmallow on the stick. Then, extending the stick as much as needed is easy. Rotating over the fire carefully is easy. The twin tines keep the marshmallow from falling off. And taking the marshmallow off is easy. Cleaning is not very hard but I’m not sure I’m doing the best job. I love these sticks and intend to buy several more as gifts.” — catch1949
An outdoor drink stakes set
Or a full-on collapsible beer table with a built-in bottle opener
Promising review: “Purchased this as a gift for my brother to go with his corn hole boards. It is just as pictured. It seems like it’ll be a little low to the ground for taller men standing around a corn hole board…but better than the beers sitting on the ground or in the off hand. Beautiful workmanship. Highly recommend this product and shop!” — Hayley
Comfortable, weather-resistant Adirondack chairs
Promising review: “It took me about 25 minutes to assemble, I will admit I was a little overwhelmed at first, but luckily the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The finished product was well worth it. The wood look finish is even prettier in person. It has somewhat of a gloss to it but not too much; it looks gorgeous when the sun is beaming on it.Totally surpassed my expectations! The color is also just what I was expecting from the pictures, so it matches the rest of my decor perfectly. The chair is quite heavy; it is totally designed to last! I am sure I will get many years of use out of this. A gorgeous new addition to my backyard.” — Barby4321
Or some portable folding rocking chairs
Promising review: “The best camp chair I’ve ever owned! I camped five days in this and didn’t want to get out of it. The fire pit rocker sits lower to the ground (but not weirdly so) and I’m 5-feet-tall and this is the first time my legs didn’t dangle from a chair. Super comfortable if you have hip or back pain. I actually felt better after sitting in it after a hard hike. And! I was able to get out of it quickly to kung fu fight a raccoon trying to steal my s’mores! I will be ordering a second one for my daughter since we fought over who got to sit in it.” — wer002
An outdoor daybed
Promising review: “Took about two hours total with one person — everything was included (a couple of extra screws helped out). Assembly instructions were visual and easy to understand. Had to reverse the front canopy piece after assembly, but their video tells you how to determine if it’s backwards. Once I had it assembled, my wife promptly took a two-hour nap on it and said it was great — worth every penny. Make sure you purchase a weather cover for it, and it’ll give you long-lasting satisfaction!” — Joseph Vivona
Or a comfortable hammock
Promising review: “Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The set up/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position… no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it… no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a ‘swing’ to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you’re cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn’t faded from the sun, hasn’t had any mold, and hasn’t developed any weird smell. Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat.” — Mary
A TikTok-popular inflatable hot tub
Promising review: “I was skeptical about buying an inflatable hot tub, but my sister has wanted one forever. After researching many varieties we ended up purchasing this. I am amazed at how well it works. I have had it for several months now and it is still working perfectly. The lining is thick and sturdy, and supports your back. It is easy to get in and out of. The cushioned bottom is more comfy than I expected. It holds heat well, we like it at 104 and it stays between 102 and 104 while in use in a 40 to 60 degree environment. The bubbles are plentiful and relaxing and strong. I thought setup was quite easy, filters are easy to change and water chemical balance is easy to maintain. Five out of five stars. Get it!” — Kristine
A pressure washer
Or a bleach-free outdoor cleaner
A lighted umbrella because shade is a must
Promising review: “Great umbrella! We don’t keep it up all the time, just take it out when needed. Great quality. The lights are great at night, really elevates our backyard! The option for leaning the umbrella is really nice, too, in the mornings when I want to sit outside without the morning sun blaring down on me. If you don’t want it to break, don’t keep it outside all the time, that simple!” — Morgan
Or a sunshade triangle to block the sun
Promising review: “I’ve been meaning to get something like this for years. Our patio has no cover at all, especially early spring when the leaves aren’t back. the sun in unbearable at times. We bought the install kit and used it to attach the two sides to the house and used a ratchet strap to attach the other end to a tree on the other side of the patio. So far it’s holding up well. We added lights which makes it super cozy at night and completely changes the feel of our patio.” — Kaitlyn Tugend
Faux ivy for placing along a fence to shield your yard
Or a handsome privacy screen
A hammock chair
Promising review: “No assembly required; super easy to put up and adds so much character to our backyard. It’s also very comfortable to sit in. I’m only 5 feet tall, so I’m able to sit cross-legged with extra room.” — Amazon customer
A dog spot repair solution for addressing the dirt patches
A tall table/cooler combo
Promising review: “Have gotten so many compliments on this already. Great even when not using as a cooler for just a functional end table near our furniture around the fire pit. Can put drinks on there, s’mores stuff, etc. It’s nice because it functions as a table without being big and bulky. It can easily be moved around to where it is needed. and the cooler function of course is what sets it apart from all other tables and makes it awesome!” — Amy M.
A discreet pair of waterproof, LED-lit Bluetooth speakers
Promising review: “The surround sound that we get at night while sitting around the fire pit is wonderful! We invested in shepherd’s hooks so that we can relocate wherever we want! Nice.” — Denise Peoples
Mystical Fire flame colorant
A pair of flexible magnetic lights
And a rechargeable, waterproof cooler light
Promising review: “Such a neat item! I purchased this for my husband’s hunting trip and he’s truly enjoyed the handiness of the light. He said it provided extra light in the dark wilderness. The light is compact, and easy to charge. It lasted multiple days from one charge. Also, the different light modes are fun and one can even have a party with the blinking effect!” — Elena
Colorful outdoor inflatable ottomans
Promising review: “These are too cool!! The fabric cover is sturdy and really nice; the colors are bright and vibrant. Ordering more for the patio and son’s play area. And wherever else! Note: Gotta put the inflatable part in the cover before you inflate it LOL. I didn’t read the instructions first.” — Jennifer S.
10-inch speckled hanging planters
Promising reviews: “I really love these hanging planters. Highly recommended. Lightweight, modern, and has drainage holes!” — thelma marie hart
“The perfect added touch! Exactly what I wanted to add a touch of color to our new outdoor eating area!” — Deborah Del Vecchio
A rainbow collection of flower pots
Promising review: “Lovely colorful flower pots. Perfect size to hold a single flower, and they add such a nice pop of color to my yard. Very easy to hang up, no hardware required! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot a cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project.” — Maegan
Solar-powered light-up flowers
“Love it! Looks beautiful at night, and guests love them! Planning on ordering more soon! Works in all weather, rain, snow, heat! Just need sunlight! Only con is probably not a con, but they only stay lit at night for approximately two and a half hours. That’s fine because we head to bed, so it’s perfect for us! Highly recommended!” — Damon R. Jackson
A light-up palm tree
Promising review: “New pool needed a little something and this tree made it! We love it! Our neighbors love it! Our guests love it and everyone is asking where to get one! Fast delivery, easy set up and looks terrific! Daytime and nighttime awe! It’s held up to storms and wind so far. I screwed the base down into the deck but the framework is sturdy! I’ve even had birds fooled into thinking this thing is REAL! Well worth it folks!” — Jon
A highly rated projector
Promising review: “I NEVER leave reviews, but thought I should leave one because this thing is awesome. Super good quality picture! Could be a liiiittle brighter, but for the price, I’m not complaining. I use a Fire Stick and have no problems streaming anything at all. The sound isn’t super loud and doesn’t have any bass, so if you have people over, you probably won’t be able to hear very well if you use the projector speaker. Plug in a speaker through the aux cord jack, and there’s no issues!! 10/10 recommend for anyone wanting to have movie nights in the backyard. I got so many compliments; all of my friends have been asking me where to get it!” — Amazon customer
A mounted outdoor fan
Promising review: “Great fan at a good price! I bought this fan for my backyard to help circulate the air in hot days and to help deter mosquitoes at night around the fire pit. This fan worked perfectly. It has three speeds, the highest of which is super strong. The fan at high speed is a bit noisy, but nothing unexpected of a powerful fan. It is also 100% waterproof, which is a must. My only minor issues would be 1) it would be nice if the fan came with a cover for when it’s not used (I bought 20-inch tire storage covers to do the job), and 2) the fan is only adjustable up and down not side to side — if they could make it oscillate that would be great. Having said that, I would recommend this fan for sure and would not hesitate to buy it again” — Bigdad
A stylish, functional garbage bin
An outdoor pizza oven
A vintage camper birdhouse
Promising review: “I love this so much! I just built it, so I’m not sure if I will get any inhabitants or not, but that’s okay because it’s SO CUTE. Took a little brain power to put together cause the pieces aren’t labeled, but it’s (clearly) do-able and a fun little project regardless. The little details are so fun, and it is very well-made. Highly recommend!” — Lauren Woods
And a picnic table feeder
Promising review: “Adorable! My outdoor eatery quickly became a hit. The seller went above and beyond keeping me posted on tracking the package. Excellent customer service. I would highly recommend ordering from this shop.” — irosing
Also: A drip- and bee-proof copper feeder
Promising review: “I love these feeders, nice weight, and quality craftsmanship. Arrived quick and packaged nice. Highly recommend these feeders. Easy to keep the nectar fresh given the size, which is perfect.” — Linda Victory
Interlocking Teak tiles to cover up damaged or unsightly flooring
A classic, easy-to-install trellis
Promising review: “Easy assembly, lightweight yet sturdy, used outside on a freshly made patio! Added ivy and solar lights along with solar fireflies! The stakes for these are super strong and easy to put into the ground. This set up with a turtle fountain, solar accent lighting, some plants, a chiminae, and the fencing for covering the garbage bins has the neighbors stopping by with envy!” — Dena
