1. A chic three-piece rocking chair set so you can spend your summer days rocking it out on your porch. Soon you'll be outdoors more than indoors, so it's essential to have a beautiful and comfortable place to sit back and relax.
2. A pack of garden lights to beautifully light up your outdoor space when nighttime hits. Use these for practical purposes like illuminating a walkway, or just spread them throughout the garden to create a whimsical environment that looks like something out of a Tolkien novel.
3. An outdoor ceiling fan for adding a bit of tropical flair to your space while providing you with that island breeze you so desperately seek in the warmer months.
4. A can of concrete paint to make stained, peeling, and faded concrete porches and patios a consistent, smooth color and texture that has a low luster. One can covers 300–400 square feet on smooth surfaces and 200–300 square feet on rough surfaces. Talk about a glow up!
5. A compact three-piece sectional and table set if you want to create a gorgeous, spacious place to lounge around on while enjoying the weather. The chaise is reversible, so you can have it on the right or left side.
6. A 48-foot strand of dimmable, waterproof, and shatterproof string lights to illuminate all those nights spent hanging out outside. They say lighting makes the room, and I think that should extend to your outdoor space as well!
7. A folding lounge chair with a striking black and white striped pattern that's a great option if you're dealing with limited space. It folds down flat in one step, so when not in use you can tuck it away.
8. A pack of interlocking Teak tiles to add some glamorous flooring to your outdoor space. No tools or glue are required, the tiles just snap together. Teak is also a preferred wood for all outdoor stuff because of its ability to survive through all types of weather.
9. A classic wooden swing if you're looking to create major curb appeal and have the best spot for all those #porchlife selfies you'll be taking this summer.
The swing comes with chains but if you love the look of the reviewer's setup above, you'll want to pick up some burlap covers.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with my porch swing and impressed with the quality of this product. I've had the swing for about a month now and it looks like new even though it has been through some heavy rain. The customer service is top notch as well. I have high ceilings and needed additional chain links, I emailed them and got it within two days. Can’t say enough about this product and the customer service. Highly recommended!" —YP

Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

Sage Moon Soaps is a woman-owned small business that creates handcrafted all-natural soaps and candles.
Promising review: "Beautifully made. The scent is a strong but pleasant citronella, which tells me the mosquitoes won't know that I exist 🤞. The wood bowl gives it a chic rustic look and the natural decorations are lovely. I am very happy with my purchase." —19jmb77

16. A colorfully patterned blowup pool so you can take a dip whenever you want. The vividly colored pattern will add a nice big dose of fun to your outdoor space.
17. A Moroccan-esque garden stool if you want to add some color to the mix. It's made from a fade-resistant ceramic and was designed by Justina Blakeney's Jungalow for Opalhouse.

19. A gas firepit table to keep you warm on cold nights. It comes with a glass lid, so when the fire's not in use it can be used as a table. We love a product that does double duty.

Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark

I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot a cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project." —Maegan

25. Some color-changing inflatable pool balls so your pool is always the place to party. They're solar-powered and will last about eight hours on a single charge.
Each light cycles through red, blue, white, and green.
Promising review: "My pool is so old school and boring that I bought these to liven it up and what a difference!! My pool went from 'meh' to WOW! The balls are easily inflated by mouth like a beach ball. Once inflated, a few hours in the sun and they are charged and ready to go. They light up after dusk ( it has to be rather dark). There is no manual way to power them on or off; they glow all night long. The changing colors are vibrant and very beautiful. They have a loop at the top if you would like to hang them. They would be magical hanging in a tree or from a pergola. I really liked how easy these were to fill and charge, and I like the solar power and the amazing color display. They make my inner child happy." —J. Matheson

Faircraft USA is a Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania-based small business run by a husband-and-wife duo creating beautiful and functional wooden home goods.
Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift for my brother to go with his corn hole boards. It is just as pictured. It seems like it'll be a little low to the ground for taller men standing around a corn hole board...but better than the beers sitting on the ground or in the off hand. Beautiful workmanship. Highly recommend this product and shop!" —Hayley
Get it from Faircraft USA on Etsy for $60.
29. A raised garden bed that removes the need for bending or kneeling, preserving your back and knees as you tend to your garden. It's made from Chinese fir, a great wood for outdoor furniture and construction because it doesn't warp out of shape when it becomes damp or wet.
30. Or a raised garden bed to grow your own fruits and veggies, or to just have a nice tiered garden full of beautiful blooms. I recommend planting taller plants on the lowest level (like tomato vines). That way you don't have to bend down too far to collect your bounty.
Promising review: "This was one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon. It was easy to assemble and the finished product looks great in my backyard. I planted two tomato plants in the top tier and one in the second tier flanked on each side with basil plants. On the lowest tier I planted lemon cucumbers." —Lewis F. Celli
Get it from Amazon for $64.99.

32. A bleach-free outdoor cleaner that'll remove tough stains from concrete, stone, wood, and composite surfaces (including siding). And then use it throughout the spring and summer seasons to keep your outdoor surfaces free of dirt and grim.
Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
33. A hanging hammock chair, because sometimes you just need a main character moment and this is the chair that'll give it to you.
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 three colors).
34. A blackened metal Zodiac fire pit that'll bring all the celestial vibes to your late night gatherings. Why just have a fire pit when you can have a Zodiac fire pit instead?
35. A pub-style bar set so you and your family and friends can take in the view without your balcony or deck railing blocking it. The inside of the table has shelves for storage.
36. A gray and white rattan sofa that looks great from the front, back, and sides — perfect if you want to place it somewhere where it can be seen from every angle.
37. An old-fashioned rope swing to hang from a tree or your porch. It's handmade from a single piece of solid Ash wood, which is an incredibly strong and durable hardwood.
38. A hardwood oil treatment that not only stains wood, but seals it so it's waterproof and protected against harsh UV rays. Use this if your wooden deck, railings, or furniture were neglected this past winter (and perhaps for years before that).
Promising review: "I applied this product on an uncovered deck, which takes a beating from the sun and rain in the summertime and snow sits on the deck in the wintertime. I've tried several other wood sealers but nothing we have used holds up as well as this product. When it rains you can watch the water bead up and run off so you know that this product is working. I apply this product every summer to my deck to keep it in top shape. I also apply this sealer to the wooden floor of our covered porch and the boards shine like brand new. Probably would not have to apply every year to the covered floor area but I do." —Bubba
Get it from Amazon for $25.22+ (available in nine colors and three styles).
39. And an 8-foot wooden pathway to create a cute way to get around your outdoor space. No more stomping around your backyard barefoot, only to realize you have to walk across a patch of bark or stones. (Ouch!)
There is also a matching curved walkway, if you need one!
Promising review: "I went back and forth deciding whether I wanted to buy this. I was going to build my own walkway, but the labor involved and price was more than I want to pay. So this option looked appealing and some of the reviews were not positive. But, I absolutely love this walkway and I’ve had it for well over a month now. It still looks like I just purchased it. I live in Florida so the weather is very harsh with heavy rains and extreme heat. This walkway has held up fine." —Jntqnn
