5 Must Have Pieces of Furniture for Every Backyard

Your backyard furniture is meant to give you an exhilarating outdoor experience. However, you won’t be able to do that with the sun beating down on you. Hence the patio umbrella. There are many different types of patio umbrellas and choosing the right one for yourself consists of much more than just picking the perfect color.

Most people who are looking for an umbrella to accompany their patio table (already fitted with a specially designed hole) choose a ‘residential’ type of umbrella owing to its low cost and its ability to fit into such a patio table. However, the pole of the umbrella often causes problems if you’re sitting directly across from someone. The solution is to use a ‘cantilever’ umbrella. Such umbrellas have a pole that sits on the side, which gives the impression that the umbrella is hanging over the table.

One of the primary questions you should ask yourself before selecting a table is how you intend to use it. If you are planning to use your backyard for hosting barbecue dinners, you should choose a dinner set. You can get anything from five to nine piece sets for your friends and family. If you need only that large of a table every now and then, you should choose an extended dining table. If you are looking for an ideal table for a small space, you can opt for a Bistro set, which often come in standard as well as balcony height models, and can be paired with decorative seat cushions.

It is an unspoken rule that when the sun comes up, it’s time to start barbecuing. Natural gas grills are good, but they can never produce the same taste as a charcoal grill does. In fact, some people would say that only charcoal barbecue is real barbecue. Hanover offers a variety of multi-functional Kamado Grills to provide the ultimate grilling experience in your own backyard. With the thick ceramic walls you can reach high searing temperatures or maintain a low temperature for “Low and Slow” style smoking.

The most important criteria to be kept in mind before purchasing your barbecue grill is the surface area. The ideal arrangement is 100 square inches for every person having dinner with you. For example, if you plan to cook for five people, the surface area of your charcoal grill should be 500 square inches. The grill surface should be of cast iron grates, which are naturally non-stick and which tend to distribute heat more evenly.

Always remember that your backyard is an extension of your home, so choose your furniture in such a way that it gives you and your family the comfort of home while enjoying the weather.
