You could purchase a couch that's meant to be used outdoors, a patio set, a hammock, or cool individual chairs. What matters most is that you have seating that's suitable for all of your guests, including those with back issues who may not be fit to stand all day or lie down in a hammock.

With the right outdoor lighting, you can keep the party going well into the night! The outdoor lights you choose should depend on what sort of aesthetic you’re going for with your backyard. Torches are classic and fun, lanterns are cool and vintage, and fairy lights are cute and whimsical, to name a few examples.

Close umbrella if its windy or raining
Chelsea Reels
I loved the umbrella so much that I ordered another one for my second patio table!
Erin Brown
I was hesitant to purchase patio umbrella since there are so many umbrellas on the market, and I wasn’t sure it would be durable since it was on the cheaper end.
Abigail Bartalini
On My Umbrella the “Cloth Vents” are open if I’m understanding You the wind opens them .
Julie Kocher
Dear, the vent is opened design, so you needn’t not to open it by yourself.
CarleyJo32
How do I open the top vent of a umbrella?
lindsey olhausen

The shades are custom made and are of good quality fabric and construction. They have made a big difference in the comfort of our back deck.

Shade sail function well to provide shade for our Koi pond

MARIA THEW
For the price it’s a great shade canopy for our backyard!
Jena Messner
We have two shades both are over our pond. Their shade slows the growth of pond algae. This is working great.
Staci Perry
Exactly what I needed
Kelsie Barnes
These sunshades are amazing! So easy to install and look very nice.
Megan White
My recommendation is to diagram it out, Cut a piece of paper and a few equilateral triangles to scale and see what works for you.
jmregan
Depends if you want overlapping or not. If you set up as the picture shows with 13ft triangles you may need 5 of them to cover that with the edge corners likely still being exposed at the corners.
The Flat to Tip of these are 11.26FT so you will have some overhang. Make sure you have enough room to make sure they can be hung tight, if not go smaller, it wont cover as well but you can make sure they are hung correctly.

I have an outdoor lanai. It measures 35 ft long by 11 ft wide. I would like to cover it with 3 sail canopies, I just don’t know what size to order.
Beckay Bee
I’m pretty sure custom means the sizes they have available. There are a lot more choices for sizes than most places. I just got what was closest to the sizes I needed. It’s good to pull them tight, so get them smaller rather larger than you need.
Nabila Aguirre
If we decide to order custom made one, how do we proceed?
Michelle Sterling
“I thought it was interesting how you said that shade sails provide shade and can protect against rain. My wife and I recently built a patio in our backyard, but it gets way too hot during the day. It might be beneficial for us to purchase a shade sail to put over our patio.”
Lorri Jacobs
shade sail is excellent for what i wanted. looks better than an umbrella and covers more area.
dinapilot
I have this string of lights, I can see very well in the light, but the range is small
caitlinss
Is this outdoor light bright enough?
Delana
Yes, and the stand is very easy to remove.
Brittany Pope
Does this hammock come directly with a stand?
Bri Camp
I used sandbags
Bree Dirks
How can I get help assembling the base?
mdonnelly
Could you recommend a base that fits this unbrella?
cdhamilton88
I really like how patio umbrella is and how easy to use it is. My umbrella before this was only a 6 foot and didn’t give much shade. This however gives plenty of shade and is adjustable.
Dawn Heinz
I’m a big fan of your brand and really recommend Love Story’s shade net
Stacy Hsu
Depends on how much shade you need. If you just need to cover the table, you can choose an umbrella, which can also be used on rainy days. If the range is relatively large, you can choose a shade sail
Shelby Frye
We incorporated this shade sail in a pergola and it looks especially sweet because the sides have a bit of a curve to them and the corners are not at right angles.
Courtney Seaberg
Since I’ll be working from home for the summer, I wanted to create an outside area to be able to sit with my computer — shade necessary. Should I choose shade sail or patio umbrella?
Emily R Oswald
Thuy Huynh, you can take a look at another article written by the author that teaches how to install shade sail. I find it useful.
Thuy Huynh
I also bought a sunshade net from another brand not long ago, but the installation manual, how should I install it?
Carmel D
Sun shade sail is really a good choice!!!
Emu
Best money I have spent all year. My patio is now useable; shaded from the unbearable evening sun. I think I can buy a shade net and try it out
Liane Chesek
When my husband and I have time, will decorate the backyard too.

Super easy to assemble!!
laulos01
I just got this, but haven’t opened the box yet…is it easy to put together?
Cassi Gifford
I bought the hammock on the picture provided by the author. TOTALLY WORTH IT! I fall asleep on this thing after work in minutes.
arguetaisabel
I just purchased these string lights for a covered screen porch, look really nice.
Lisa Floyd
After moving to our current area, we’ve found an old shade sail at the back of our house. It’s still new, classy and simple, yet there’s a certain that needs to be repaired. I am thinking if we can combine it with other colors or just stick as to what it is.
Emily Walsh
I purchased a blue shade net from Love Story. Easy to install. It has reduced the temperature by about 6-8 degrees. Gives a great shady place to sit! Hope the corners hold up to the South Florida sun, wind and rain.
Megan S
Shade sail takes place of umbrellas that you have to open and close in bad weather…these just sale and filter out sun ad well.
Alanah Manning
My square sun shade sail is excellent. It is very well made and strong. It gives great shade and at the same time lets a nice amount of light through while cutting down the heat of the sun. I am planning to buy another one to extend the amount if sahde on my patio.
