Promising review: "This resin planter has a nice finish that doesn’t look cheap or plastic. It’s lightweight, which makes it easier to move around. Its size is nice and big. It would look and function great with outdoor flowers or indoor houseplants. Mine is outdoor on the west-facing deck, which gets extremely hot, and it hasn’t weathered at all in the past couple of months." —ChristyFixit

Price: $32.48+ (available in four colors)

Promising review: "After I unwrapped my rug and spread it out on my patio, I was immediately impressed with the obvious quality and beautiful colors that made this rug stand out. When I looked closer, the flowers on the rug are woven higher than the rug and seem to pop out as an extension of the pattern. I have received many compliments on the beauty of my new rug. I use the lowest setting on my cordless vacuum to clean it and remove outdoor debris." —amlamb

Promising review: "Extremely comfortable chairs! Nice selection of colors and very reasonable price!" —JeffJ

Price: $19.98+ (originally $24.98; available in four colors)

I bought two of these chairs after falling in love with them at my aunt's house. Everyone who comes over comments on how comfortable and roomy they are. Getting up is a breeze, even for older people or those with mobility issues. I've had mine sitting outside in the direct sunlight for nearly two years, and they look as good as the day I bought them.

Promising review: "It's a very comfortable and durable chair. I bought one for myself, and my wife liked it so much that I had to go back and purchase one for her. The extra feature of a cup and phone holder is very useful and convenient. I heartily recommend this chair!!" —sprinl1

Promising review: "I love this birdhouse. It is the perfect size, and it looks adorable. The price was perfect, and the quality is great." —Jeane101

Promising review: "I like these solar lights for a couple of reasons. 1) They come with two different wattage settings for bright or brighter. They last longer, of course, on the lower setting. 2) The plastic prisms cast a nice light pattern on the deck and elsewhere." —BeatlePaul

Price: $11.88+ (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Just what was needed to complete a new backyard privacy fence. Have a different model on the corners of the house, and they've held up for years and I love them, too." —Dean

Promising review: "These cushions are just right for our wrought iron chairs on our deck. The bright red pattern really complements our other colors. The cushions are also the perfect height, offering comfort without bulkiness." —Bill

Price: $16.98 (available in five colors)

Promising review: "We like this table's classic look and sturdy build for our back porch. It was easy to set up. It seats four comfortably with plenty of surface area in the middle for serving dishes. It also makes a great workspace so we can sit in the open air and work." —Bill

Promising review: "I got these chairs for my porch. They are solid and sturdy. They will be sitting on the porch year-round, as I have that ability where I live. The chairs do not hold onto water after rain and dry quickly. The chair is sturdy and is able to support large individuals." —DAWV

Don't forget to snag an umbrella stand to go with it.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this for our patio table! Easy to put up and take down, and I really like the angled turn." —BrandiT

Price: $39 (originally $59; available in six colors)

Promising review: "Very nice pressure washer. It has enough power to get the job done, but not so powerful as to remove paint, etc. It is a cleaning machine, but not a stripping machine. If you want to clean something thoroughly without tearing it apart, this will do a good job for you. I used this on my pool deck, and it cleaned all the dirt and grime, but left the paint." —Holtsys

It comes with a poker, water-resistant cover, and mesh cover. 

Promising review: "So far so good. This fire pit is above average size, which I love, and it was exceptionally easy to build. The vents along the side of the unit are very helpful for airflow, keeping your fire going. The instructions were well written and easy to follow, and the screen top, fire poker, and cover were nice extras. I do recommend this fire pit." —CMD10

Promising review: "This sofa is very nice, easy to assemble, and very comfortable" —Zapato

Promising review: "I like the style and easy setup." —Kique

Promising review: "They light the space beautifully, i like how they connect together!" —Jess

Promising review: "These feel like great quality. They did get caught in one unexpected rain, but dried quickly. These matched so perfectly that I didn’t want to chance it. This pillow come in lots of colors and patterns, so don’t hesitate." —Venetianblond

Price: $37.55+ (available in 13 styles/colors)

Promising review: "The hose reel was easy to set up, and I find it very convenient to use." —Roxie

Promising review: "Easily fits an adult mountain bike (size Large, approximately 6' long). Plenty of additional room for a trunk rack, some gardening tools, a long board, and other miscellaneous items, and still room to spare. There are some gaps that allow airflow just under the lip of the lid, but still covered enough that no rain has gotten in, even in wet springtime in Seattle." —RK25

Promising review: "Great little mower for a small to medium size lawn. Surprisingly powerful." —Colin

Promising review: "The bed is well constructed and easy to assemble. Only a rubber mallet and screwdriver are required. We just bought a second one. Our first one is now four years old and holding up very well. Highly recommended." —AchatzHM

Promising review: "This bench is the perfect size. The curve allows you to place it, and it looks intentional, not just to make it fit. I have mine in a large garden in front of a retaining wall with a concrete little girl sitting on top. It’s just perfect, especially for the price." —Sara

Promising review: "This was a gift for my grandmas house since she love gardening and resting afterwards. It looks and fit great." —Zendelxo
