How much do you spend time in your yard? It is a great place where most of your gardening tasks can be done. But within its concrete fencing, there is a hangout place that is waiting to be built. You should have ample space to use if you want to add a bit of pizzazz to the area, and it could make you the talk of the town too. Here are some suggestions on how you can turn your backyard into the ultimate hangout place. Start gathering your friends, for the excitement levels could reach record heights.
Outdoor Movie Theater
There are things that seem to not always be enough. One is living room space; another is the size of your TV. While it may be fun to have friends over to watch the NBA Finals or the latest boxing event match, it could get cramped in there. Although admittedly, it’s the company that makes it enjoyable. Why not take it to another level by bringing this camaraderie out to the yard?
The thing is that it is not really ideal to move your TV often, as it could get dropped or shake some of its components inside. What is small and portable, however, is a projector. You can shop for one that can provide you with great picture quality, and there are even ones now that can display in 4K resolution. The important thing to work on is the screen. It is easy enough to procure one, but you also have to consider where you are going to place it. The brightness level of that area needs to be checked on too; you may need to add some shade to it if you plan daytime viewings. Otherwise, you can limit your watching to the evenings for optimal image clarity. Just make sure you do not disturb the neighbors, so keep your sound volume to a tolerable level and do not stay up too late.
Sports Yard
While most yards may not be spacious enough to accommodate most sports, there are others that you can still enjoy in smaller spaces. One that comes to mind is table tennis. There are a lot of sets that are compact and easy to set up. You can enjoy the fresh air and the plants that surround you while still being able to move about and giving your body a workout. You can also play team sports in a reduced fashion. For example, you can install a basketball hoop and maybe have a few one-on-one or two-on-two matches, or get a few kicks in with a portable soccer goal post.
Booze Yard
You and your friends can moderately indulge in a few spirits in the comfort of your backyard. The most important thing to have is a fridge, of course, but it should be placed under a roofed area, like a patio. Tables and chairs are easy enough to gather for a temporary setup. But ideally, you want to have the bar located adjacent to a wall so you can have the yard space for your guests. In terms of lighting, it is up to you as to what kind of mood you want to convey. Just make sure that the whole area is covered for safety purposes.
Who says that the yard is boring? You can clearly make it the place you want it to be. With a dash of creativity and a chockful of passion, you can transform it to become the place where you and your best pals spend quality time together.
