Back Patio Ideas.....

Our fire pit is centered in the yard b/t the patio and the fence. It's the focal point out into the yard and a great addition for under $100.00.



I used these garden wall bricks to make the ring.



In this configuration. However, I used an old copper bowl I already had and placed it inside (filled inside with lava rocks to hold weight of bowl. The lip of the bowl fits perfectly over the edge of the blocks and looks like a natural fit. I used 33 blocks and paid under $60.00.

Looking for more ideas with my back patio roof I guess I should say. I have about 8 ft until my shed so looking to add some to my patio in order to make it bigger. I also want it to come off the house at a higher angle in order to have a higher ceiling so I can put a fan outside rather than a window unit or adding central A/C.
The clear fiberglass option looks nice but not sure if it would be a pain to clean.

No tv?

Roof the top and you have a great outside space will all the natural light you will need. You can add party lighting as well on the rafters etc... to give it a great feel at night. Install a TV now that it's raised and covered from the elements. To save money just have in made with plywood and install tongue and groove flooring to the ceiling to give it a dressed up look.



except leave the exposed beams/rafters.

Are you planning on doing the construction work?

We built a pool and outdoor kitchen last year - very costly, however we are enjoying it.

Some, I plan on starting the remove the existing tiles and wood over the Christmas break and getting a contractor to finish the job.

Invite me over, we can have a nice get together.

roger that... was nice last year just small. Reason #1 I want to expand, not everyone can see the TV because of space.
