How about starting with something that’s fairly easy to do and low in cost such as making your patio larger by extending it.</p>
<h3>Increase Patio Square Footage</h3>
<p>You can add another section to your patio by extending the current material or choosing another one. For example, if your patio is concrete, you can extend it with pavers. You can even make a path to a wooden deck in one corner of your yard.</p>
<p>If you really want to go for it, you can tear up your old patio and pick a material so it has a uniform flow all over your patio area. No matter what you decide to do, your backyard will have a fresh and updated look.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A growing trend among today’s homeowners who enjoy spending time outdoors is an outdoor shower or bathing area. From soaking tubs to simple showers, you can create a very cool and refreshing experience outdoors with little effort and expense.</p>
<p>The main priority is where you place your outdoor “spa.” To get the most enjoyment, you really must create peaceful, inviting surroundings for the outdoor shower or tub. You probably want to make sure there is plenty of privacy and there are many ways to create privacy within your yard or garden. Simple folding screens and plenty of plants will do if you don’t have the resources for a permanent structure in the beginning.</p>
<p>You can create the floor of your shower out of patio pavers, natural stone of different types or you can place a claw-foot tub in a secluded spot. Create a privacy screen and you can enjoy a totally refreshing experience. There are many ways you can creatively design an outdoor retreat – you’re only limited by your imagination.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Creating a comfortable outdoor area includes comfortable patio furniture and other accessories, but to get the most pleasure from your outdoor space, you need to explore ways to keep insects away. Here are a few ideas.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just how irritating is it to finally have great weather to enjoy your backyard and be run inside both those pesky bugs?  Enjoy your backyard area by finding a good solution to ridding yourself of these nuisances.</p>
<p>The best solution to controlling insects from your patio area is to have a screen enclosure.  If this is not a viable or desirable option, there are other measures you can take.  Candles and torches which use citronella can be used to deter bugs and insects.</p>
<p>Outdoor fireplaces also help drive pests away.  Other options include bug zappers, misting systems, and insect vacuums.  It is important to remember that circulating air, such as that provided by an oscillating fan, is also helpful to deter insects.</p>
<p>Get your patio ready for spring and summer enjoyment without the annoying company of insects and bugs.  Try any of the ideas listed above and if nothing else, find a permanent place to hang the fly swatter in the patio area.</p>
