An increasingly popular and practical trend in home remodeling is creating an outdoor living space. Some homeowners spend loads of time and cash on creating a beautiful, comfortable outdoor space, but become frustrated when they can’t use this space all year long. Without proper protection, weather, and allergens can quickly make your outdoor space unbearable. Luckily, there are few ways to gain some more use out of your patio. Here are a few tips on how to create an outdoor space that will last all year round.

CHOOSE WEATHERPROOF FURNITURE

Patio furniture is a great way to add comfort to your patio space. It gives friends and family a place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. However, choosing furniture that is not meant to be outside can give you some issues. Between soggy furniture, rust, mold, and more, a comfy outdoor seating arrangement can quickly become unusable. Choosing weatherproof furniture is essential to creating an outdoor space to last all year round. Even if you have added a temporary enclosure for winter, your furniture should be able to hold up to inclement weather.

HEAT IT UP

Winter is one of the longest stretches during which your outdoor space doesn’t get used. Between snow, ice, and bitter cold temperature, it makes sense that no one wants to sit on the back patio. Heating up your patio space is a great way to get some more use out of it. Simply adding a heat source such as a fire pit or an outdoor heater can draw guests to the outdoors. Hot tubs are also a great heating element to add to your outdoor living space.

TEMPORARY ENCLOSURES FOR WINTER

The best way to create an outdoor living space that will last all year round is to add temporary enclosures for winter. Temporary enclosures are easy to install, affordable, and protect your entire patio space. Through rain or snow, your patio, furniture, grill, and any other patio additions are protected with your temporary enclosure.  Not to mention it’s substantially warmer inside your enclosed living space. Even in below freezing temperatures outside, you can enjoy a hot beverage with a blanket covering you on your patio.
