			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our <a title="Outdoor Living" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_self">outdoor living</a> spaces can often appear to be open expanses with no real definition or symmetry.  Patio or garden walls can be a great way to divide your yard into different areas and conquer the lackluster feeling when you walk outside.</p>
<p>It’s important to enjoy all of our home surroundings and that certainly includes the outside area.  Constructing a patio wall will allow you to decorate different areas for different activities based on how you live and entertain in your outdoor space. <a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/patio-wall.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2797" title="Patio Wall" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/patio-wall.jpg" alt="Patio Wall" width="206" height="298" /></a></p>
<h2>Multi-Purpose Patio Walls</h2>
<p>You can utilize patio walls in various ways.  Not only can they create several spaces in your yard, they can be used to divert water flow, hold back soil, and provide an extra seating spot.</p>
<p>There are all sorts of materials you can use to create a patio wall. Popular materials include poured concrete, stone, cinder blocks, brick, and pavers.  Some folks find they can construct their own patio wall and actually enjoy the task of doing it.</p>
<h2>Going Vertical in Your Backyard</h2>
<p>A vertical expanse like a patio wall creates such a unique and beautiful focal point in your backyard.  The facing of the wall can incorporate textures and designs.</p>
<p>Perhaps you want one long wall or you might prefer several walled areas to create separate zones for entertaining, relaxing, or outdoor games.  If the design allows, do consider adding a wider layer at the top to have a place for sitting.</p>
<p>A patio wall is the perfect way to add an architectural element to your outdoor design.  It can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing to your patio or backyard.</p>

<h3>Patio Seat Walls of Various Materials</h3>
<p>Two of the most popular choices are brick or stone.  Walls are generally around 18” in height.  The important thing to remember is the top surface should be flat and smooth for sitting comfort.  Add a back so guests will have something to lean against.  Patio seat walls can be your perfect solution for an additional seating area on your patio.</p>
