    23 Patio, Balcony, And Backyard Finds If You Can’t Wait To Spend More Time Outdoors

    Soak up all that warm weather while you can.

    1. A balcony shield that'll protect you from prying eyes and UV rays. You can weave it through your railing or use the included zip ties and rope to make it work for your space.

    2. A string of waterproof lights that'll make your space feel positively magical. They're dimmable, so you can adjust the brightness depending on how much light you want.

    3. And a pack of outdoor clips that are strong enough to withstand the elements (they're waterproof and UV-resistant). They'll make putting up lights or other decor so much easier and are renter-friendly, too.

    4. A set of interlocking deck tiles that'll feel nicer on your feet than concrete slabs. They don't require any tools to install (just snap 'em together!) and will make your balcony look more finished.

    5. Or some faux grass that'll add some greenery to your patio (which is especially nice if you don't have a backyard). Plus, it'll never die!

    6. A balcony bar that'll help you make the most of your outdoor space. It comes with brackets that'll make installation a breeze, whether your balcony is made of glass, metal, or concrete. It's also foldable, so you can save space by laying it flush to the barrier when you're not using it.

    7. A projector that you can use for outdoor movie nights (just point it at a blank wall or screen). It can connect to pretty much any device and has a seriously impressive built-in speaker so the whole gang will be able to hear.

    8. A hammock so you can kick your feet up and take a little midday snooze. Its boho cottage-y vibes make it the perfect addition to your cozy outdoor space.

    9. Or a hanging chair so you can ~sway~ away your problems. Grab a good book to read and you'll be set to curl up for hours.

    10. A pack of artificial ivy garlands so you can turn your balcony into a garden oasis, without having to do any maintenance. Reviewers love pairing them with fairy lights to make them a touch more whimsical.

    11. A set of hanging flower pots to display all of your fresh blooms. The hooks are detachable, so you could also use them as regular planters if you want.

    12. A trio of hanging crystals that'll catch the sun and fill your backyard with shimmering little rainbows.

    13. A pair of patio chairs so you can lean back and relax (yes, they recline). They're foldable, making it easy to store them in the winter or bring them along on your next outdoor adventure.

    14. A cushioned chair pad that'll make any seat more comfortable on your tush. It has strings on two of the corners, meaning you can tie them to your chair and keep 'em from flying away.

    15. A sunrise rug that'll brighten up your deck (and your mood). It's comfy to rest your feet on and unlike a regular carpet, it won't hold moisture and get all damp and stinky.

    16. A scentless mosquito repellent lantern that'll ward off annoying critters. Each repellent cartridge lasts for up to four hours (you'll get three) and you can even use the lantern part on its own if you want.

    17. A pop-up cocktail table that doubles as a cooler to keep your drinks cold. You can adjust it to standing height or close the ice bucket portion and use it as a side table between some patio chairs.

    18. A mini tabletop fire pit so you can still enjoy a cozy ambiance even on your tiny balcony. It works with rubbing alcohol, so your marshmallows and weenies won't end up covered in soot.

    19. A colourful tablecloth with an umbrella hole that'll protect your table from spills and scratches. You won't need to iron it and you can just wipe it clean if it ever gets dirty (we love a low-maintenance product).

    20. And a set of tablecloth weights that'll keep your table cover from flying away. You can clip them right onto the corners, so you won't have to worry about them taking up space on your table.

    21. A cube-shaped pouf that you can use as an extra seat, footrest, or even as a side table. It's made of durable PVC, so it won't get messed up in a storm (and it'll be a breeze to clean).

    22. Or a light-up cube that'll make you feel like you're sitting at a ritzy rooftop bar. You can control the colour and brightness with the included remote to set the ~mood~.

    23. And lastly, a double-ended sponge and squeegee that'll come in handy if you have glass barriers that need some serious TLC. It's also great for cleaning your car windshield or shower.
