Gathering outside on a patio is perfect place to get the gang back together! Reunion is in the air. People are anxious to see friends and family again. Because of public-health concerns, some folks are able to join again safely for the first time in too long. Your patio furniture should be primed and ready for outdoor action – we have a few suggestions to make sure your patio is rock’n.

1. A Rattan Patio Set

Get your seating arrangement situation on LOCK DOWN. Order a 5, 7 or 9 piece rattan set and then mix, match, rearrange and relax knowing that you have every comfort combination at your finger tips. Sit, lay, lounge, rest, daydream and nap feel good. Libations and tasty treats are your thing? Enjoy them with good company, comfortably. Patio furniture is the crux of your hang zone. Don’t skip this #1 priority.

2. Get yourself a BBQ!

Cooking outside rules almost as much as the food: wings, burgs, veggies burgs, dogs, dogs eating the hot dogs you should have been eating, winners at life, weinners, braut wurst, sports memorabilia, frisbees and plush footballs are ALL great self esteem builders and can happen near and around a BBQ. You do you, but we recommend you do a BBQ as patio must-have.

3. A Cooler with a foosball table

Not sure we have to say much more about this, but the obvious callout is you get to play a quick game to 5 for the last beverage!

4. A firepit

It doesn’t have to be a wood burning pit. Gas is cool too! Either one facilitates bonding, memory creation, conversations, cool evening air, the way grass smells at dusk, jokes, smores, chairs, blankets and deep sighs of content. Warm up your evening!

5. A Patio Umbrella!

Will that be a double or a single… sized patio umbrella. Yes, they come in doubles. Extra wide means extra fun. It’s a must-have because it means not having to go inside when the mega-glare of the sun becomes too strong, or a little shower comes your way. You get to keep on, keeping on, under your own umbrella, ella, ella, eh eh. Under your own umbrella, from Aosom.com. A little breakdown of shadesales vs. umbrellas.
