1. A weather-resistant Adirondack chair if you want to relax outside without a care in the world. It has an ergonomic back and wide armrests so you'll be comfy while enjoying the crisp fall breeze.
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." —Sunrise Circle
Get one from Amazon for $118.99+ (available in 12 colors, two styles, and in packs of two or four).
2. A gas firepit table because is any backyard setup complete without one? It even comes with a glass lid so you can use it as a table when the fire isn't going.
Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put it together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy-to-follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —MGF
Get it from Amazon for $109.99.
3. Or a large firepit so you can feel like you're on a camping adventure without ever having to leave your home. Make sure everyone comes prepared with their scariest ghost stories 👻!
For added safety, it's recommended to use with a fireproof mat.
Promising review: "Awesome firepit for the patio. Our family loves having fires at night, and we’ve had quite a few firepits. This one is sturdy and the perfect size. The depth is better than ones we’ve had in the past, and the flat bottomed feet make it easy to drag it closer or further away using the provided poker tool. Definitely recommend this one over other products like it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $199.
4. Some whimsical swaying garden lights to illuminate your outdoor space and set the scene for an autumn night that's (seemingly) filled with dancing fireflies.
One set of these lights comes with eight stems that have bulbs on the end. They are completely solar powered, so there is no charging or cords involved!
Promising review: "I love these little balls of moving light in our garden! Make sure you 'loosen' them up out of the box. They are very upright at first, but the wires flex, and you can arrange them to appear to float in the night. I plan on buying more to give the illusion to my whole backyard. They are not too bright, but absolutely are brighter than many of my other solar lights. So far mine have stayed lit until morning!! The wind makes them bounce and sway, just enchanting!! Buy some! They will make you happy!!" —Ruth Anderson
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.97+ (also available in packs of four and six).
5. An inflatable hot tub if you're looking for the perfect way to keep enjoying your backyard this season while also staying nice and toasty.
It comes with a pump that handles all the inflating, heating, and filtration as well as the massage system — did I mention the massage system?? At just the push of a button, AirJets release soothing bubbles that'll make you feel like you're at your own personal spa in your own backyard!
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, relaxing, and strong. I thought set up was quite easy, I give it five out of five stars. Get it!" —Kristine
Get it from Amazon for $539.99 (also available in a smaller size).
6. A highly rated portable projector (over 18,000 5-star reviews, to be exact!) that'll help facilitate the most epic outdoor movie night while you soak up every minute of the cool fall temps.
Promising review: "This was purchased to watch movies outside in the summer. The quality is excellent and for the price, you can’t go wrong! I would totally recommend this projector to anyone. It’s easy to use and the remote is functional. The speakers are actually very good when it comes to volume!" —Practical and Efficient Mom
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
7. And a projection screen with a HUGE viewing area so everyone watching will feel like they're at the theater. Good luck getting them to leave at the end of the night!
The screen is 120 inches and made of an anti-crease material. It also comes with brackets and ropes for mounting purposes.
Promising review: "This screen is perfect for our use. We bought it for outdoor movie nights whether being on the garage door, in the backyard, camping, or inside the garage. It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity." —Hallie H.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
8. A trusty "not" citronella candle for maintaining a mosquito-free backyard you'll actually want to spend time in. It has an impressive 50-hour burn time, so pesky bugs don't stand a chance.
It contains lemon eucalyptus oil, which is said to be one of *the* most effective essential oils for repelling mosquitoes! It also contains lavender, peppermint, and tea tree oils.
Aire Candle Co. is a Massachusetts-based Etsy shop that makes 100% pure beeswax candles and other non-toxic products for the home.
Promising reviews: "This candle is stellar! Seriously, we have tried a lot of things to keep the mosquitoes and bugs away to no avail, but this works! I light it at peak times on our patio and we have not seen any mosquitoes since! Ordering more because I love it!!" —Michele Robinson
"Smells great and feels a lot cleaner than a citronella candle. Seems to work pretty well at keeping the bugs away, I used to get eaten up on my porch before this candle! Will be buying again when mine runs out!" —Brooke
Get it from Aire Candle Co. on Etsy for $25+ (available in two sizes).
9. An electric leaf blower to help you quickly *and* easily clear your yard of all the fallen leaves. 🍁 Sure, they make for nice IG photo shoots, but you may eventually want them gone!
It's also great for clearing debris from your driveway, patio, pathway, and other areas all year round!
Promising review: "I didn't expect such a powerful blower at this price. I have a large front and backyard, and needed a blower that was powerful but lightweight (arthritis) and this delivered beyond my expectations. Great product and great price." —Kristina, USA buyer
Get it from Amazon for $29.
10. Or a pair of leaf scoops because you shouldn't have to break your back when cleaning up that pile of leaves in your yard. This'll make a very annoying task ~unbe-leaf-ably~ easy.
Promising review: "We have a very large wooded property that requires a lot of leaves and sticks to be raked up. We have tried various brands of leaf scoops, but most lasted not even one season. Since purchasing the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops, our job has been much easier. First of all is the way your hands grasp the scoops. These are much more ergonomic and are actually like extensions of your own hands. Second, these are very sturdy and do not bend when trying to pick up a pile of sticks and debris. We have made it through the season so far without issue. Next will be the dreaded fall cleanup. I highly recommend the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops which make our yard, woods, and garden cleanup easier." —trouble54
Get a pair from Amazon for $29.95.
11. Also, a gutter cleaning scoop that'll help you address the wet leaves and debris clogging up your gutter. It has a mesh screen to ensure proper drainage *without* the mess spilling all over you.
Promising review: "I bought this with a little apprehension because I didn't know if it was going to work as described. But it fits perfectly in my gutters, and it is sturdy and works well. There's a small space at the back near the handle that lets water seep out, so you get mainly leaves and other debris from the gutter rather than splashing water everywhere when a gutter is backed up. This product is definitely as described by the seller, and I would buy from them again." —BJ A.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
12. A hanging hammock chair if you want nothing but chill fall vibes in your backyard. As soon as you walk outside, you'll want to curl up in this cocoon-like structure and ~hang~ out with a good book or playlist.
This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.
Promising review: "Back to basics — simple, chic, and comfortable. Perfect addition for the backyard, porch, anywhere you'd like to lounge. There were no installation directions, but they do provide a number of options to work with based on your needs." —afytasuki
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in six colors).
13. Or, a double cotton hammock when hanging one isn't an option — this comes with a sturdy steel stand that does the heavy lifting for you.
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.
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 setup/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
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four fabric types and 19 colors).
14. A folding balcony bistro set perfect for compact areas so you can use it only when necessary, like when you're eating a delicious bowl of chili! When it's not in use, fold it out of the way and enjoy the space as you see fit.
Patio Wise Store is a Minnesota-based Etsy shop that specializes in indoor and outdoor furniture for the home.
Promising review: "Really nice looking, nice quality work. It looks great and feels super stable even used on our balcony with a slightly curved balcony railing. The chairs are comfy, lightweight, and look great! On top of it all the price is a great deal. Highly recommended!" —Eric Branting
Get it from Patio Wise Store on Etsy for $186.29+ (originally $206.99+; available in three styles OR get the balcony table individually for $98.99).
15. An outdoor rug to tie your space together beautifully and make it all the more inviting. Now you can kick off your shoes without worrying about dirty feet.

Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in six sizes and nine colors).
16. A pair of waterproof pillow covers because sometimes a splash of color is just what your yard needs to get in the seasonal spirit!

Get a pair from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six sizes and 15 colors).
17. A zero-gravity canopy swing so you can get your outside cozy vibes going while having plenty of shade. Combined with a warm blanket and a glass of wine? Perfection.
Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I 25 to 30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash
Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in nine colors).
18. Or, a set of reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs that'll take backyard lounging to the next level with comfy headrests and built-in cup holders. Pick the position that feels right and stay there as long as you want.
These chairs are foldable so they can easily be stored when not in use. It also makes them great for camping, the beach, etc.
Promising review: "I am super excited to share my feelings on these chairs! After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with these, and I am so glad I went with these! These are without exaggeration the best beach chairs I have ever lounged in. They come fully assembled, with the exception of the side drink rest, which is very easy to pop on. These fold up quite compactly and are very easy to transport. And these are so comfortable! When lounging in these chairs, I am incredibly relaxed. I look forward to lounging on the beach or in the backyard in these chairs. I have been a broken record telling everyone how wonderful these chairs are. You cannot go wrong if you go with these chairs!" —Bobby D
Get a set of two from Amazon for $99.99 (available in 24 colors).
19. Connectable Edison bulb string lights for creating *the* most charming patio on the block. These darling lights will keep your outdoor fall hangs going strong long after the sun goes down.
Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. They are gorgeous. I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora
Get it from Amazon for $17.89+ (available in six sizes and in three colors).
20. Or some pumpkin string lights if you simply cannot pass up any opportunity to get in the Halloween spirit. Don't worry, your neighbors will catch on soon enough!
This set is 9.8 feet in length and is powered by three AA batteries. It has two different modes (flashing and steady) so you can create the perfect ambience for your party.
Promising review: "These lights are great because you don’t need to plug them in. They are a fun decoration that you can put on a table, string around a door, or put inside a haunted house. I like how there is a mode to leave them on and a second mode to leave them blinking. The pumpkins are small and cute. I can’t wait to put them out for my Halloween party!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
21. A durable outdoor blanket so you can cuddle up under the stars and *actually* be comfortable. Ever wanted to camp out in your own backyard? This is way better than a flimsy sleeping bag.

They use only 100% post-consumer recycled materials and are now recycling over 5 million discarded plastic bottles through their supply chain every year. They also offset all their carbon emissions with carbon credits!

Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table!
Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting. We enjoyed a pleasant evening on the deck with just the right amount of ambient light tonight, and we are hopeful that it will prove to be durable." —Dee
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in eight color combos).
24. A genius side table because you need a place to put your drinks and snacks. Most importantly, it doubles as a cooler down below for storing all your delicious beverages.
Promising review: "What a cool use of space, and it's a great match for our outdoor set. I store sunscreen and other items when not entertaining. There’s a reason thousands of people purchase this. It’s a functional cool piece." —Mamma 4

Promising review: "Loved the MalloMe roasting forks! I brought them to a bonfire and they were quite a hit! We roasted marshmallows for S'mores. I can't wait to use these by the fire again especially as it gets colder this fall/winter. Great quality product, affordable, festive color handles and great customer service from MalloMe directly. This product would make a great holiday gift for children or adults!" —Christine

Promising review: "All we can say is WOW! These lights surpassed our expectations! You could buy other similar lights for a lower price, but these are high quality and worth what we paid. The material is heavy duty, great casing to handle weathering, and a breeze to install. We had three lights done within an hour with no issues. The look is modern and clean. Would highly recommend!" —RuthB

Promising review: "Perfect size for our quaint balcony space in our condo building. The vibrant chartreuse color couples perfectly with our retro robin egg door. Lightweight, already assembled, and super easy to clean. The price makes this set a no brainer (it's cheaper than Target and CB2, but equal in quality). Awesome summer buy." —Nouvelle Mere
Get the set from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in eight colors and with or without a cushion).
32. An outdoor heater *with* wheels so you can easily move it around depending on where you and your guests are gathering. Now you can spend cool evenings outside without worrying about anyone catching a chill!
The heater stands 91 inches tall.
Promising review: "Had a Hampton Bay patio heater from HD that got blown over from the winds and decided to take a chance on an Amazon Basics heater. Surprised at the quality of the heater, sheet metal body seems thicker, and the water-filled base actually helped keep it standing against moderate winds. Wheels helped with moving it around. But the best pro here is that it's around $100 vs. $250 at the stores while being as good or better in quality." —Han
Get it from Amazon for $151.59+ (available in four colors and two finishes).
33. Or a mountable outdoor heater for warming up your hangout space *without* taking up any valuable floor space.
Promising review: "Finally I can use my deck when it's normally just a little chilly. Great product and easy to set up. I found it easy and quick to install with only four screws. Having the remote is key and I was hoping it had a timer, which it does. The last thing you would want to do is leave this heater running overnight because you or a guest forgot to turn it off. The remote allows you to set the timer from 1–8 hours quickly." —Jim McGimsey
Get it from Amazon for $125.99.
34. An adorable outdoor bar set to replicate your fave tiki bar from your last tropical trip right in your backyard (RIP summer). There are shelves in the back for storing beverage supplies, so you can show off your amazing bartending skills without constantly running back to the kitchen.
It comes with a bar table and two cushioned stools.
Promising review: "We ordered two of these outdoor bars for our patio. They look so great put side by side to create one long bar. I searched online for days and found this item to be the best value (as each bar comes with two stools, cushions, and the glass top). The instructions could have been a little more helpful, but it was fairly easy to figure out. The bar is very sturdy, and the shelving inside is great for extra storage. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to improve your outdoor space, this bar is the perfect addition!" —Debbie M
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four styles).
35. A folding outdoor wine table when space is limited but you still need a spot for essentials. It has a built-in bottle opener and a fiberglass rod that stakes into dirt, grass, and sand.
