    30 Gadgets For Your Backyard You Probably Didn't Realize You Needed In Your Life Until Now

    From a portable projector for ultimate movie nights to a wall-mounted pool skimmer, your backyard is about to become *the* place to be.

    1. Globe string lights that'll transform your backyard into the hipster haven you've always imagined it could be.

    2. A wall-mount swimming pool skimmer that works alongside your filter pump, so you can save the lives of tiny creatures that accidentally find themselves going for a swim and ensure your water is free of leaves and other debris.

    3. An electric pressure washer you can use to restore your deck or back patio to the way it looked when your first set foot on it — so clean you could eat off it! But...maybe don't.

    4. A garbage guard that'll keep pesky flies and other insects from congregating around your can.

    5. A lawn mower in case you have so much grass that your yard is starting to look more like an overgrown forest than a suburban retreat.

    6. A portable projector you can set up in your yard for the ultimate movie night your kids will never forget — good luck convincing them to watch anything other than Frozen.

    10. A portable golf game you can use to practice your chipping skills in the comfort of your own yard (or, you know, when you aren't able to get a tee time).

    22. A snow cone cart, so on super hot summer days you can retreat to the privacy of your own yard and eat as many as your heart desires.

    23. An outdoor drink stakes set that'll be there for you when someone challenges you and you say "hold my beer."
