Entertain friends and family in your stunning outdoor living space. We make designing your patio easy and intuitive.

Imagine stepping into your backyard and feeling like you’ve been transported to a lush, luxurious paradise. The gentle sound of water trickling from a fountain mingles with the sizzle of food cooking on the grill. At the same time, comfortable outdoor furniture beckons you to relax and unwind. If this sounds like a dream come true, then our outdoor living kits are exactly what you need to transform your backyard into a stunning oasis you can enjoy all year round.

Many people are familiar with how to make a room in their house functional. Yet, they become overwhelmed with their patio or outdoor living area. Perhaps it is because homes have many rooms and we are more familiar with them. Perhaps the walls and ceiling boundaries help us define the space in our minds. But people often want the same things in “outdoor living” as in “indoor living.” We dispel many areas of frustration in our articles about how to design outdoor living spaces and patios. These pre-designed plans will show you an effective way to get the essential building blocks of highly functional outdoor living space using our affordable DIY outdoor living kits.

Recreate your home’s “Big Three” rooms outdoors to create a fully functional outdoor living space.

These rooms are the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. Satisfying the minimum requirements of these rooms are simple. But we will give them some added flair to make a lovely patio you will be proud to own at a price you can afford. Since most (if not all) can be done yourself, you will save money and instantly create usability and added value to your home. Done correctly, you will likely add greater value to your home than the money you invested in making your outdoor space.

Whatever your patio size and shape, you can create a simple yet effective plan.

 Instead of getting a massive and expensive open patio that resembles a dancefloor, you get something much more helpful (and natural) at a fraction of the cost. Of course, these designs can be stretched and modified as needed. But you should find these pre-designed patios as an effective and efficient use of space. Moreover, we try to balance and harmonize the indoors with your outdoors.

Through the intelligent use of your patio space, you can achieve a patio you will love, and your family will enjoy. The key is efficient sharing of space for movement along and between pods. People in large gatherings break into smaller fluid pods of two to five people. We use this pod approach to build patios conducive to forming and moving between these pod groups. Applying this concept allows you to easily create an enchanting backyard patio that includes the three main components of a stunning outdoor living space. You get an outdoor living room, dining room, and kitchen that will add function while increasing your property value and adding privacy from your neighbors. You get all this with the benefits of relaxing outside amongst natural flowers and shrubs in your enchanting green space.
