5 Fun Projects For Summer Entertaining

Grab a hammer and a box of nails to get started on these summertime, backyard, entertaining ideas!

1. Fire Pit

Nothing says 'home' like a humble fire pit. Surrounded by comfortable seating or a cozy outdoor landscape, fires are the perfect way to slow down, chill out, and catch up with the ones you love. All you need to get started is gravel, a few bricks, and a little imagination.

Check out how to make a fire pit here.

2. Easy Bench

There are so many ways to build an outdoor bench, each with a special design, color, and whimsical structure. Build a bench out of old bed headers for a weathered look, or build a classic design with wooden beams and concrete blocks.

Choose from one of 27 designs here!

3. Upgrade Your Privacy Fence

Who said fences had to be boring? Install planter boxes and vertical trestles to encourage plant growth, coating your perimeter in a blanket of green.

Feeling more adventurous? Create your own recycled wine bottle fence (or put bottles directly on the wall) for a unique approach.

4. Build An Outdoor Kitchen

Make every day a party in your backyard! Upgrade your grill, add some countertops, and install a sink for the ultimate cooking space.
