Turn your own backyard and backyard playground<\/a> into an outdoor paradise this summer, adding beauty, comfort and functionality without having to spend a lot.\u00a0 We have ideas to help you create an economic outdoor retreat that will make your family want to enjoy a staycation instead of traveling on a vacation this summer.<\/p>\n

First Things First
\n<\/strong>You\u2019ll want to start off with a clean slate so to speak.\u00a0 Begin by cleaning up all those leftover leaves you may have missed last fall.\u00a0 The Sun Joe Cordless Blower\/Vacuum\/Mulcher\u2019<\/a>s 3-in-1 design allows for fast leaf cleanup. Also, clean any hard surfaces such as patios, decks, and walls with a pressure washer like the Sun Joe Pressure Joe Electric Pressure Washer<\/a> from Buydig.com.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Seating Areas
\n<\/strong>Create this simple couch by painting 12 cinder blocks and staining four 2X2 pieces of lumber cut to the length you desire.\u00a0 Stack four of the blocks at one end where you want to place your couch, and six blocks at the other end, leaving enough room for the wood slats to stick out of the ends about 4 inches.\u00a0 Have someone hold up the slats at the other end while you slide the last two blocks onto them.\u00a0 You can leave it like this, or add chair cushions for a softer couch. Create ottomans to use as seats or to go with your couch and chairs out of rope and recycled tires.\u00a0 All you need to do is crisscross rope across the opening by wrapping it around the tire several times to make it sturdy.\u00a0 Then wrap and glue rope around until completely covered.<\/p>\n

DIY Planters
\n<\/strong>Create these cinder block planters to coordinate with your cinder block couch.\u00a0 You can choose to leave them plain, or paint them to match your couch.\u00a0 Simply drop in some gravel or small pebbles for drainage, and fill with potting soil.\u00a0 Insert your favorite plants and enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nYou cut down that huge oak tree last fall with your Sun Joe 16-inch Cordless Chain Saw<\/a>.\u00a0 But you still have that unsightly tree trunk in the middle of your yard.\u00a0 Use that trunk to add some color while at the same time hiding the trunk by planting colorful flowers inside and around the trunk.\u00a0 Simply drill holes in the wood with the Stanley Black & Decker PC 6 Amp Var Speed Drill<\/a>, add soil, and plant.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have a free and all natural planter.<\/p>\n

Bigger Projects Made Easy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing more relaxing than the family gathering around the campfire heating up s\u2019mores and telling ghost stories. Add a fire pit to your landscaping without having to spend money on gravel and landscaping blocks.\u00a0 Instead, get this 30\u201d Steel Fire-Pit<\/a> from Buydig.com and keep yourself from having to do all that digging,<\/p>\n

\"pool\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost summer, so no doubt the kids are already begging for a pool.\u00a0 However, there just isn\u2019t enough wriggle room in the budget for an in ground pool.\u00a0 No worries, we have the pool for you.\u00a0 Not only is the Intex 10-foot X 30\u201d Inflatable Pool<\/a> an inexpensive way to take the plunge this summer, it\u2019s also an easy DIY project that you can set up in one afternoon.<\/p>\n

Take your backyard from boring and bland to a space where you can relax or entertain without breaking the bank.\u00a0 Another good thing about these DIY projects is that you can complete them over the weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
