No need to book a 5-star resort when this hammock and inflatable pool are right in your backyard.

Promising review: "Because I rent, I can't put nails in the fence. I got the trellis and hung it with colorful pots to brighten up the rather ugly fence. They worked great for my needs. They hold a variety of herbs and flowers now. I love the colors and whimsical look they add to my little backyard space. I would buy more if I had a space for them! Oh, and these are pretty sturdy. I was impressed. I purchased the 6-inch pots." —Charles Chenet

Promising review: "We were searching for outdoor solar lights and were having a hard time finding some that were bright enough. These are it! Let them charge for a day in the sun and they are very bright come night time. They look elegant and make the backyard look nice." —RJS  

Get it from Amazon for $35.69+ (available in warm white or multicolor, and packs of four or eight).

Promising review: "I have bought so many of these wonderful little lights over the past years. I just keep adding more because they just make the yard and gardens magical. The ones in the front yard are about two years old and still going strong. I have never replaced the batteries in them, and the most awesome thing about them is that the ones that are under shade just keep on working. I have a very shaded backyard, and they are just all aglow every night. I just love these and can’t say enough good things about them. The only problem I have had with them is that this past winter our squirrels chewed off a bunch of the little light bulbs, I guess thinking they looked like berries. So I just replaced them with new ones and then sprayed them with squirrel deterrent spray. If you want your yard to look like a fairy garden, these are perfect!" —Diane Baker

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried everything on my water slide; this was the only thing that worked on the mildew!" —Jade

"I was given an outdoor patio set, but the beige cushions had black spots of mold on them. I tried washing them and then tried vinegar, but the spots remained. I looked on Amazon for a product that would remove mold or mildew spots and came across Star Brite Mold and Mildew remover. My primary concern was obviously removing the spots, but would it change the fabric color, too? To my amazement, Star Brite removed 99% of the mold and mildew spots and did nothing to the fabric color. This product really works." —EWG

Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!!! Was simple to set up, I got a little electric pump. and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to make sure you set it up on level ground or it will be lopsided. I live in South Carolina, so it is already hot and humid, and I use it about every afternoon. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed, if I could give it 10 stars, I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —Kathryn J.

Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — it will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and me 25–30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it...you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in 16 colors).

Promising review: "I bought this cooler round side table with the intention of using it not as a cooler, but as a side table for our hot tub — and it’s perfect! It looks great, is the ideal height, and the storage inside is a total bonus. I keep towels inside and they stay clean and dry, even in damp conditions. Sturdy, stylish, and super functional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for smart outdoor storage with a sleek look." —PatriceB 

Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in four colors).

These chairs are foldable so they can easily be stored when not in use. It also makes them great for camping, the beach, etc.

Promising review: "I am super excited to share my feelings on these chairs! After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with these, and I am so glad I went with these! These are without exaggeration the best beach chairs I have ever lounged in. They come fully assembled, with the exception of the side drink rest, which is very easy to pop on. These fold up quite compactly and are very easy to transport. And these are so comfortable! When lounging in these chairs, I am incredibly relaxed. I look forward to lounging on the beach or in the backyard in these chairs. I have been a broken record telling everyone how wonderful these chairs are. You cannot go wrong if you go with these chairs!" —Bobby D

This is best to do *now*, while the temperatures are between 60 and 80 degrees! 

Promising review: "Our grass had been washed away by Hurricane Helene in September. I was doubtful we could ever replace the lovely yard we had. We were desperate to get rid of the trail of mud that kept following us into the house. We were delighted with the results we saw after using Rapid Grass. Once again we have a lush, green lawn. This is a high quality product that we have been thrilled with. We will definitely repurchase and continue to use this product for any future lawn care needs." —Emmie A.

It's compatible with HDMI, USB, AV, smartphone, and more. 

Promising review: "Very impressed! Didn’t want to spend $400+ on a projector system, but didn’t want to totally compromise the viewing quality either. Even watching movies when it’s still slightly bright out is doable with this system and we love it. Simple remote and functions make it easy to set up. Sound works fine as is, but love that we can also plug in external speakers for an even better experience." —Jade

Get it from Amazon for $67.99 (also available in two other styles).

It also comes with brackets and ropes for mounting purposes.

Promising review: "This screen is perfect for our use. We bought it for outdoor movie nights whether being on the garage door, in the backyard, camping, or inside the garage. It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity." —Hallie H.

Brightech is a small biz that specializes in home lighting. 

Promising review: "These are amazing! They look and feel super expensive. The plastic bulb around the LED light is sturdy and doesn’t bend when pressure is applied. The cord is nice and thick with heavy-duty hangers built in. The solar panel is easy to install and operate, and the lights stay on all night from a day's charge. Not too bright but not too dim either! We LOVE our lights! One strand perfectly lights my 25x12 front porch." —Steffany

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in soft white or warm white).

Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put it together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy-to-follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —MGF

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in two sizes/styles).

Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table!

Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting. We enjoyed a pleasant evening on the deck with just the right amount of ambient light tonight, and we are hopeful that it will prove to be durable." —Dee

Get it from Amazon for $60.47+ (available in 11 color combos).

The tool-free installation is as simple as opening the unit and clamping it onto the umbrella pole. It requires four AA batteries to run, which are not included. 

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings to adjust the amount of brightness you need. Lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. Brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

Grampa's Weeder is a family owned business from Oregon that sells tools to make weeding easier! 

Promising review: "This was delivered today and I spent the evening pulling these evil shards of death out of my lawn. It was so easy! Even my son enjoyed using it. Worth every penny. It’s very well made and pulled weeds of all sizes. This saved my back and so much time. I really didn’t want to resort to spraying chemicals all over my lawn, now I don’t have to. My family and dogs can enjoy the backyard again. If you have weeds, you want this tool." —April K 

This Sun Joe pressure washer comes with dual detergent tanks and five quick-connect nozzles to get you started on your backyard upgrade. BTW, the reviewer pictured above on the right is using a Sun Joe pressure washer attachment, which isn't included but is helpful for covering large areas. (And here's another option that's cheaper and well-reviewed!)

Promising review: "I love this power washer!!!! I didn’t have any problems assembling this, although it did take some time. Once I got the hang of the procedure for using this and changing tips, it’s a pleasure to use. After I power-washed my patio, I also did my deck top and bottom, my 40-foot-long retaining wall, other pavers used as trim around areas, and all my patio furniture. It is tedious work, but the results are amazing. My whole backyard looks like new again!!!" —M.  

Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in two models).

Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad, that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three sizes and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots, all about the size of a dollar bill, baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon, and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried, and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well, it broke apart with the broom, and the stains were gone. I just swept up the powder pieces — it took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and is easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete, so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface, but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Perfect for the backyard! I wanted to create a comfy safe space to get away from all the stress of the world and this chair made the perfect hideaway! It took no time to hang and it very comfy and sturdy. I might get one more to enjoy with a friend. Totally worth buying!" —R  

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven colors).

Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.

Promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with different hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position... no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it... no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.

Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary

Promising review: "This is a great addition to my patio. It looks ultra modern, sturdy, and useful. It is easy to put the parts together and comes with a Phillips screwdriver and a large Allen wrench to do the job. I was surprised how quickly it assembles. The thickness of the doors and sides is just what you need for storage, and it beats all competitors in every comparison. I think so much of this shed that I purchased a second one. The customer service is outstanding, and they back up their product." —Fred Schwartz

Promising review: "Spendy, but hey, if you have the $! They added a very nice touch to our backyard. We are renting our townhouse, so we didn’t want to do too much back there, but these are perfect! For sure! We have gotten so many compliments. We reside in Portland, Oregon, where it rains cats and dogs, so they are durable for sure!" —Tally

The bottom of the grill has an easy one-touch cleaning feature that allows all the ash to fall right on the metal plate for quick removal. 

Promising review: "Affordable and reliable. Perfect for our backyard. We prefer charcoal to gas, and we've cooked about everything under the sun on this bad boy. Easy to assemble. Easy to clean. Exactly what we wanted." —Marci Manley

Promising review: "I used these for the first time the other night and they were exactly what I wanted. I often tend to grill after dark and I can’t see what’s on the grill, but not anymore. These light up the entire grill surface area perfectly. Would definitely buy again." —Flossie DeGrave

Promising review: "This is definitely the most beautiful wind chime I've ever seen, and I love the sound too. The packaging was nice, all glass pieces were well protected. I will definitely consider buying again as gifts." —Anita J.

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in 11 color combinations).

Promising review: "We have no tree coverage in our backyard and we have a large pool. I anchored this to my pool deck and house to cover the patio. It’s a game changer! My backyard is turning into my little oasis. I can sit in the shade while the kids play in the yard. It’s high-quality material. We love it! I feel like I have my own resort lol. I just roll it toward the house and clip it up when there is weather or high winds coming. Takes just a couple of minutes to put down and up again." —KB 

Get it from Amazon for $25.98+ (available in 14 colors, 22 standard sizes, dozens of custom sizes, and two shapes).

This set includes two wicker chairs (cushions included) and a matching glass-top table.

Promising review: "Great set for the price! I needed a smaller chair and table set for my front porch as it is not very wide and this was perfect. Sturdy build and comfortable. Not hard to put together: all pieces were included and the instructions were easy. Can’t wait to sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch the cars drive by." —Debbie Jackson

It comes with two 1-ounce dishwasher-safe plastic inserts for hummingbird nectar!

Copper Hummingbird is a small biz based in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy Biggins, the founder, worked as a zookeeper in the hummingbird aviary at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, so these feeders are the real deal.
