5 Backyard Seating Area Ideas
These are the five things you need to create a space in which you’ll love spending time with a few friends. Here’s what you need to know. See our essential backyard seating area ideas:
1. Place a Pergola
Not only is owning a pergola one of the most popular outdoor living trends, but it can deliver great solutions for your formal sitting area, too. Whether upgraded with a full roof or a sunshade, a pergola can provide much-needed protection from the sun’s rays. While the protection is complete, the style is both sleek and elegant. Everything from the signature lattice roof to the slim posts makes pergolas a striking accessory that can define your space.
2. Furniture
Here’s a backyard seating area idea that delivers both comfort AND style. Upgrading from old, worn-out lawn furniture to a modern polywood furniture set can have a huge impact on your space. Not only will our poly furniture look more attractive, but it will stay that way since it is built to handle the elements for many years. On top of that, we offer a truly wide selection of colors and styles to match your aesthetic preferences. Ultimately, the more time you plan on spending in your outdoor seating area, the more you NEED comfortable and well-built furniture.
3. Privacy Options
A feeling of seclusion can be essential to getting the most out of your space. Depending on how close your nearest neighbors are, adding privacy accessories to your space can be crucial. This can look like something simple, such as a free-standing privacy screen, or something more elaborate, like a privacy wall added onto your pergola or other outdoor structure. See privacy pergolas built specifically for this purpose!
4. Landscaped Perimeter
To make your outdoor seating area feel official, we recommend building some type of perimeter around the space, allowing you to designate that this space is special. A landscaped perimeter can often look like a ring of mulch, plants, or a pattern of fill stones. The best part about this backyard seating area idea is that it’s easy to take care of without professional assistance.
5. Pavilion
Pavilions are one of The Backyard Showcase’s signature items and they are the perfect complement for many outdoor seating areas. Every single one of these gorgeous structures feature full roofs that make your sitting area usable in the beating sun and even light rain. From a style standpoint, there are more types of pavilions than you’d expect. From rustic open gable pavilions to traditional bell roof structures, you’re guaranteed to find a design that fits your outdoor style.
Top-Quality Amish-Built Products
There’s a lot of variety in our outdoor structures – but the one thing that all these pieces have in common is that they were built by true Amish craftsmen. Because our pieces are made from high-quality materials like vinyl or cedar instead of low-grade plastic, they will last for decades no matter what environment you place them in. On the other hand, big box hardware stores sell these structures without any of our careful construction methods, which often causes them to fail after only a few seasons of use. Simply put: top-of-the-line outdoor sitting areas call for top-tier equipment and accessories!
