A good outdoor rug is waterproof and can be cleaned with a hose for convenience.
Shades can also help to cut wind a little bit for a more comfortable outdoor dining experience.
Give your furniture a fresh coat
Outdoor furniture gets a lot of abuse.
Its exposed to sun, moisture, and lots of barbecue guests (if youre lucky).
Include a fire feature
I love a fire feature for outdoor entertaining.
check that to follow all manufacturer safety instructions to avoid any possibility of fire.
