			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-932" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="friends on the patio " src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/friends-on-the-patio-a.jpg" alt="friends on the patio " width="367" height="258" />So many of us enjoy our patios in the warmer months, but find we are run inside when it turns cold. You can easily make your patio an area you can use during all seasons.  There are lots of options available for making your patio a year-round space.</p>
<h3>Add Warmth on the Patio for Colder Months</h3>
<p>You can add a heating source to an open patio to provide warmth during the chilly months.  Some options include electric and gas heaters of all types, wood burning fire pits, fireplaces or chimeneas. You can also consider enclosing some of the sides to block out the wind and cold air. You can even completely enclose the area with retractable doors so it can be closed during the winter and open during the summer.</p>
<h3>Stay Cool with Ceiling Fans and Awnings</h3>
<p>Stay cool during those hot months with a misting system or ceiling fan.  Awnings provide great protection during the rainy season as well as shade when the sun is bearing down.  Enjoy your patio all year long by incorporating seasonal elements.</p>
<p>You can find most everything you need to make your patio comfortable and usable all through the year at <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a>.  Manufacturer-direct wholesale prices allow you to buy quality <a title="patio furniture" href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/" target="_blank">patio furniture</a> and other <a title="outdoor accessories" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank">outdoor accessories</a> while you save.</p>
