Promising review: "Awesome firepit for the patio. Our family loves having fires at night, and we’ve had quite a few firepits. This one is sturdy and the perfect size. The depth is better than ones we’ve had in the past, and the flat bottomed feet make it easy to drag it closer or further away using the provided poker tool. Definitely recommend this one over other products like it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt-proof, etc... In total, I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck.

Promising review: "These are so cute and perfect! I have a decent-sized balcony and have been looking to turn it into a relaxing area. I got my lights within a few days and I immediately opened up my package, everything was there, no broken bulbs and a spare bulb. I then tested out the power and these lights are perfectly bright and still set a very calming and intimate scene." —Domzzs

Get them from Amazon for $13.28+ (available in six lengths, three colors, and two-packs).

Promising review: "Only moments to set up after receiving it on the day it was promised. Very fast delivery. Added some blocking around for my bad putts and have enjoyed it very much. This is the 5'x10' version, and so happy with it. Worth the money." —Kimberly Rueby

Promising review: "It's hard to reserve golf rounding times these days, and most of the times, we end the game after sunset. These balls are very pretty and go a great distance, too. I love these balls flying so far at night." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Wow! Such a great set! It comes in a surprisingly small box — these people must be great at Tetris! It was easy to put together and they even made all the screws the same size! Super comfy and looks great on my new deck!" —Jennifer Cupkey

This charming set includes two rocking chairs with bottom and back cushions and a matching side table with a glass top.

Promising review: "Put this whole set together myself in about two hours — clear instructions and well-organized packaging of the different tools/pieces. I've bought a similar-looking (but cheaper) porch set in the past and was disappointed with the quality of the cushions — I was worried that this set would have the same problem, but I was wrong! The cushions are VERY comfy, and the chair is wide enough for me to comfortably sit crisscross! Absolutely worth the investment!!!" —Katie Swimmer

Get it from Amazon for $79.98+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I love the size and the fact that it takes five minutes to set up and five minutes to take down. Very portable and lightweight to carry. Very sturdy. I would highly recommend." —Kathi

Promising review: "I bought this projector to use outside on my deck and it works perfectly for that… The picture is very clear, even better than I thought it would be. The projector is light and small which makes it perfect for travel use or even camping… I would recommend this projector to just about anyone." —rachel forman

Get it from Amazon for $69.99.

Promising review: "Very easy to unbox and get set up. I used an electric pump (not included) and followed the easy directions. Took me only about 10 minutes to get it inflated. Then it only took me maybe an hour to fill with a garden hose. I love the drain pipe underneath that is angled away from the pool so the water is directed out of the area. But I can see that it might not be good for the pool lining if someone stepped on it from inside the pool. So I was careful to let my kids know not to step in that corner. Overall, great quality, good size (fits three full-size floaties in it!), and my kids loved it." —Karen Moreland

Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Got this on a whim after reading some reviews. I didn't expect it to immediately become the fam's new favorite! Lay back and you are half in, half out of the water so you aren't baking from above or freezing below — just what we wanted. It holds your head well out of the water and feels very supportive/stable. I've had it for about a month now and only had to blow it up the first time, the plastic is fairly thick and doesn't lose air through seams or the nozzle. We have a full-body foam float that cost about $120, and it never gets used any more. Everybody takes turns on this one. Great deal for the price; I just bought three more of various colors. Go ahead and try it." —JB

Get it from Amazon for $10.10+ (available in seven colors and a two-person version).

Promising review: "The hammock chair is really comfortable. The quality seems good and it came with everything you need for installation. They provided the mounting bracket, chain, and all hardware needed. I would recommend this chair." —Chris H.

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).

You can purchase the hardware set to attach this canopy to your home for $16.99.

Promising review: "Have had it up for over a month and it is holding up very well to sun, wind, rain, and storms. I take it down when I get enough forewarning of strong storms, but sometimes we've been out of town and it has held up quite well. We roll it up and to the side using the installation kit anchors when we get warning for strong winds. But, like I've said, we've come home after storms to small branches down in the yard, but the sail was good. It does a great job of blocking the sun and cools the house and patio quite nicely from the summer sun." —Ms. Shannon

The heater stands 87 inches tall.

Promising review: "Had a Hampton Bay patio heater from HD that got blown over from the winds and decided to take a chance on an Amazon Basics heater. Surprised at the quality of the heater, sheet metal body seems thicker, and the water-filled base actually helped keep it standing against moderate winds. Wheels helped with moving it around. But the best pro here is that it's around $100 vs. $250 at the stores while being as good or better in quality." —Han

Get it from Amazon for $139.65+ (available in four colors and two finishes).

Note: this is just the unicorn, it does not come with the rainbow inflatable, but if you want that too, grab it here!

Promising review: "Used this for my 29th birthday party. It was a hit. Sprinkled us with water all day while we floated around in the pool. Definitely not just for kiddos. Great for adults, too. I’m 5'10 and got the large, not the jumbo. Was still huge! Came with four yellow stakes to keep it from blowing away!" —Sarita Hillyita

Get it from Amazon for $33.99.

AquaSprouts is a small biz making aquaponics and hydroponics accessible.

Promising review: "I LOVE it. The service was incredible, and it is the perfect addition to our balcony. We live in a downtown area, and it’s so lovely to hear the noise. We leave our screen door open to listen to it all day. Thank you!" —strberygum17

Get it from AquaSprouts on Etsy for $135.71 (originally $180.95).

Promising review: "I was looking for a table to sit between two rockers on my patio and came across this table/cooler combo! It was very easy to assemble and the color matches my patio furniture. It holds a decent amount of beverages too. I recommend adding them in before you add the ice for a better fit. The drain plug was easy to use and in a good place to drain in the grass area next to my patio. It was a great and fun addition that everyone enjoyed using." —Kat C.

Get it from Amazon for $81.41+ (available in two colors).

These appear white during the day but automatically switch colors at night and can last up to eight hours after being charged in direct sunlight. They also have a loop on the top if you would rather hang them somewhere!

Promising review: "Liked these so much we ordered another set. We’ve had them in our pool 24/7 for almost a year and a half. They’ve lasted through storms, wind, etc. We have only had to add air to them one time and they haven’t gotten dirty or moldy (which was a concern being white). I love that they are solar so no changing batteries or remotes needed. Great fun colors! Highly recommend." —THE HOMME LIFE

Get a set of two from Amazon for $37.99.

Promising review: "My husband asked for 'solar pool critters' for his birthday. One of his gifts was this flamingo and it's worked great all summer long in the Vegas sun. It's stayed fully inflated and hasn't faded a bit in the strong sun. It lights up every night and lasts well past our bedtime. It's fun to watch it float across the water on windy days. We'd definitely recommend this flamingo." —zoso babe

Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table!

Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting. We enjoyed a pleasant evening on the deck with just the right amount of ambient light tonight, and we are hopeful that it will prove to be durable." —Dee

Several reviewers shared that this little pool kept their kids engaged for hours.

Get it from Amazon for $25.95+ (available in four themes).

It also comes with a small pillow and carrying bag, in case you want to take it to the park or your next camping trip!

Promising review: "The hammock arrived quickly and in good shape. I was a little worried that it would be too big for my 9' hammock stand, but I was able to adjust the hooks on the stand to make it fit perfectly. There were no loose threads or rips, or stains that I could see. I love the pattern on the fabric, and the matching pillow. My boyfriend and I are able to spread out with plenty of room for both of us, and we were quickly able to master one of us getting in and out without dumping the person on the ground. It's been too cold and rainy here so I can't speak yet as to the durability, but it seems sturdy and I am looking forward to taking lots of naps in it this summer." —Jodzilla

Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in seven other designs).

Promising review: "These decals went on very easily with two people working together — minimal bubbling that the provided tool took care of. The decal is a very heavy vinyl with a great adhesive. Vibrant colors. We can't wait for the weather to warm up and to start playing." —Amanda V.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in multi-packs).

Promising review: "This is a throwback to my childhood with major improvements. Not every backyard is appropriate for a pool. And even if you do have a pool, there’s just something special about running through a sprinkler. I bought this for the nieces and nephews. We set it up in no time flat. My brother and I were laughing about how much things have improved since our childhood. This slide has three lanes and inflatable body boards. How are these kids going to ever learn to fight over who’s next and bandage up their stomachs after friction burn? This toy is all fun and no risk. But seriously, this is fantastic. Three lanes for racing with water arching over them. It really was a blast. And yes, my brother and I tried it and I won!" —Will-Review4u

Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Best chair ever! I love this chair! It’s so comfortable! I could sit in it all day long! It’s even comfy without the cushion! So glad I bought it!" —Rhiannon R Rappel

The game comes with an inflatable splash mat, hose connector, waterproof spinner, and gameplay instructions.

Promising review: "Fun for all ages. Such a fun twist on an already loved game! This kept my 4- and 7-year-olds' attention for a while! Each spot you put your hand on sprays water, whoever stays up the longest wins! Even the adults had to try it out. I was a little nervous with the quality of the plastic, but it withheld adults and kids moving all around it without any holes." —Deborah Gaffney

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a larger size).

Promising review: "So far I've smoked a pork tenderloin, chickens, Cornish game hens, a prime rib, and an 18-pound turkey. I couldn't be happier with the way everything has turned out. This product is incredibly easy to use: you just set the temperature, put the meat inside the smoker, and walk away. It doesn't use an open flame so it's great for apartment balconies where you might not be allowed to grill. Cooking and cleaning are both easy, and I'd recommend this product for beginners and experts alike." —William H.

Get it from Amazon for $200.99+ (available in two version).

Reviewers love this grill and say it maintains its temperature, has a large cooking area, cooks food evenly, and is easy to clean.

Promising review: "I love this grill! I'd been wanting to buy it for almost a year and am so excited to finally have it. I had my first barbecue outside and the Webber was fantastic. I was able to fit burgers, hot dogs, potatoes, and pineapple on the surface at the same time. There's lots of space to cook various foods at once. I love the easy ash cleanup thanks to the bottom bucket. This product is very sturdy and stable, and I put it together in 10 minutes." —Dani L.
