An umbrella with built-in solar LEDs
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

Or a triangular sail
Promising review: “Purchased this to increase privacy and provide some shade. The color is vibrant, hasn’t faded, and the loops are well stitched. The sail has also faired well in winds, thunderstorms, monsoon rain, and the brutal heat of Vegas. Shade is wonderful and one can definitely feel the temperature difference from full sun to being under this sail. The look and feel compliments our pool area and will certainly be purchasing an additional one.” — VHC Media

Promising reviews: “Haven’t lit it yet but the candle smells great! The smell alone is so potent even without lighting it yet, we’ve seen a decrease in mosquitos just leaving it out!” — Michelle Gulino
“Great, light scent that sent the early spring Texas bugs packing when I lit it last night.” — Jessica Booth

A high-voltage bug zapper

A comfy, zero-gravity canopy swing

A flexible adjustable mister
Promising review: “Works exactly how I want it to. Provides a fine, cool mist on the patio, allowing us to enjoy the backyard until sunset without breaking a sweat. Easy to set up. It was out of the box and cooling us off within minutes.” — Debra L. Kusek

A fast-acting lawn repair formula

Amazon
Light-up flowers

A five-piece sectional sofa and table set

A strong and bright magnetic barbecue light

A super satisfying-to-use electric pressure washer

Amazon
A standing weeder
Promising review: “Oh my god, I friggin’ love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don’t think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled.” — JG

A tiny, but surprisingly loud portable outdoor Bluetooth speaker

A gorgeous glassworks wind chime

Some reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs with attachable cup holders

An inflatable pool for anyone with a small yard
Promising review: “This pool is perfect! It was easy to inflate with a small inflater pump. After opening and laying it out, my large dog just had to walk and lie on it, so I could see it was pretty durable. Once I filled it, which took maybe 30 minutes, it was ready for use. I would totally recommend buying this pool! Fun for kids and adults like myself who want to watch the sunset with a glass of wine and a refreshing soaking. Happy pool-buying!” — Pamela

An outdoor drink stakes set

Faircraft USA / Etsy
Or a collapsible outdoor table stake that holds two drinks
Promising review: “Purchased this as a gift for my brother to go with his corn hole boards. It is just as pictured. It seems like it’ll be a little low to the ground for taller men standing around a corn hole board…but better than the beers sitting on the ground or in the off hand. Beautiful workmanship. Highly recommend this product and shop!” — Hayley

A mesh raised dog bed
Promising review: “My dog loves this! He is 11 years old and I hate for his older bones to lay on the bricks or concrete. He loves this bed and we can easily move it from the back to front yard.” — Kristin M.

And a fully enclosed mesh outdoor cat tent

An outdoor inflatable ottoman
Promising review: “Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional.” — Cali g

Amazon
Some colorful flower pots with draining holes and detachable hooks

Amazon
Or a disco ball planter
Promising review: “This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches, like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it — it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope. Every day my whole living room becomes a party 🙂 Cannot recommend enough.” — Phil

A powerful fan to ensure that you’ve got the coolest patio in town

And an outdoor heater

A reviewer-loved portable projector

And a big projection screen
Promising review: “This screen is perfect for our use. We bought it for outdoor movie nights whether being on the garage door, in the backyard, camping, or inside the garage. It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures (above) that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity.” — Hallie H.

A compact Weber grill

Connectable Edison bulb string lights

A cool hammock chair you’ll love hangin’ around in
Promising review: “This came in great shape, it was easy to set up, and it is comfy and sturdy. As a plus-size woman, I was a little concerned about how sturdy it would be, but it is great! I’ve never felt nervous about hopping into it and staying there right until the mosquitoes come out.” — Mal T

Or a hammock with a steel stand and carrying case
Long, but worthwhile promising review: “Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy, and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300-plus pounds in it.
The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position…no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it…no problem.
It works great as a traditional hammock to lie in. It works as a ‘swing’ to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you’re cold or want to block out light or bugs.
We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times, and it dries great, hasn’t faded from the sun, hasn’t had any mold, and hasn’t developed any weird smell.
Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks, but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat.” — Mary

A roll of faux ivy

Or a stylish cedar privacy screen
***Update*** It’s been over a year since I purchased this product, and this held up throughout Northeast Ohio windy lake effect snow storms without any problem! I am so happy my river rocks worked, and I also tied this down to my deck railings during the winter as an extra precaution. As long as you weigh it down and secure it properly, you won’t have any issues.” — Kristina Marie

A weather-resistant end table

Amazon
A cast-iron firepit

One Man Garage / Etsy

You can order this with or without the sand and rocks. The only thing that you will need to purchase separately is the 2.6 oz. gel fuel cans, which you can get as a pack of three from Amazon for $17.41.
Promising review: “Bought as a gift for my BFF. She loves it! Sits on her table on her patio that overlooks the bayou in Florida.” — Sandy Sensat

Don’t forget to pick up some beanbag filling so you can use it in your chair as soon as it arrives!
Promising review: “This beanbag lounger is beautiful!! I love the simple look, soft grey color, and the vegan leather handle is super cool! The shop owner, Alicja, was so nice and helpful when I asked about a leather alternative. The lounger is everything I hoped it would be! I absolutely love it! TY!” — Amoryn Smith

A balcony bar
Promising review: “Beautiful, hand-crafted, custom-fit to my railing. Creator is great to deal with on a custom piece. Everyone compliments it. I eat or have drinks on it every day and prefer it to eating at my dining room table! The second tier is ideal serving dishes, glasses, bottles, and the main tier is ideal for main dishes, computers, and notebooks while optimizing my patio functionality and keeping me at my serene view throughout my day. Great custom piece!” — Travis Horn
