Simple Solutions for an Awesome Outdoor Space Gone are the days of basic backyards outfitted with plastic furniture and folding lawn chairs. Today’s outdoor spaces have evolved to become true extensions of the home offering all the style, comfort and function of an interior living area. From furniture and accessories to fully-appointed outdoor kitchens, the lines between indoors and out have blurred beyond distinction. Regardless of the size of your deck—or budget—there are myriad ways to get in on this timely trend. Following are some simple tips for adding interior function and flair to your outdoor oasis: Focus on furnishings – Few categories have evolved further or more beautifully than outdoor furniture. When selecting furniture for your outdoor space, look for durable materials that will withstand the environmental elements. Maximize function – When designing your outdoor space, define functional areas for different activities just as you would inside your home. Dedicate a space for grilling that affords a safe distance for guests and children from active flames and irritating smoke. Accompany large chairs with upholstered ottomans to create an inviting atmosphere and increase available seating. Finally, keep your outdoor space organized and eliminate all those pesky trips back and forth into the house with storage components similar to those you’d find indoors. Illuminate with lighting – According to a recent Outdoor Decorating Survey conducted by “Casual Living” magazine and ApartmentTherapy. com, outdoor lighting ranks as the number one product that consumers want to add to their outdoor living spaces. Consumers can choose from a wide array of lighting options that can be easily installed into a deck, railing or landscape to significantly enhance the atmosphere and safety of any outdoor living space

Cleaning OUT THE GUTTERS

You hear the distant rumble of thunder. Then, the flash of lightning. Finally, the downpour hits. Is your house properly prepared for the onslaught of precipitation? What about the wind blown debris that comes with the passing days? One weapon that your home has at its defense is its gutters, more properly known as its storm drainage system.

one

PROPER MAINTENANCE Cleaning your home’s gutters is an important part of water damage preventative. If water isn’t properly draining through hindered gutters, then water build-up can happen. This accumulation of debris and water may weigh down your gutters so much that they begin to pull off of the home, thus rotting your trim and siding! Debris in the gutters also is a beckoning abode for carpenter ants and mosquitoes. A simple twice a year cleaning can prevent this.

two

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES An ounce of prevention can go a long way. Some gutter preventative

measures out on the market these days include mesh filters, aluminum pieces with one opening, or metal coverings with holes. The big question on everyone’s mind is “do they work?” It depends. The kinds of trees, the amount of trees, and the types of debris normally clogging your gutters all come into play. Many of these designs will keep out the bigger leaves, but smaller pieces of nature may still make their way in.

three

HIRING HELP A fear of heights, lack of equipment, or being short on time can all be great causes for biting the bullet and hiring help. Its also important to note that working on a ladder, especially at great heights, is a learned art and a certain finesse is required as to properly place the ladder and then not to fall while working on it. The good news is that hiring help is not an expensive route to take and truly will save you tons of work. Keeping your gutters and downspouts free and clear will save you money and headache in the long run by preventing bigger problems. SOURCE: BOBVILLA.COM HOMEADVISOR.COM
