Lattice Patio Covers
Patio Covers complement your home's architectural style and at same time provide outdoor space for entertainment or a quiet game of pool. The scene gets interrupted with temperature and weather changes, and you are left with no option but to move to the main house. A Lattice Patio Cover is an easy-to-use, economical and versatile system to protect your patio from the vagaries of nature. The discrepancy is in that, unlike solid Patio Covers, Lattice Patio Covers block 50 to 60 percent of the sun.
On most counts it is weather conditions and the exterior of the house that decide in favor of Lattice Patio Covers.
Cover material has to be water resistant and rust proof, and should not crack, peel or split. Wooden Lattice Patio Covers have a natural appeal, but require regular painting and checks for termites etc. In keeping with preferred sensibilities, Patio Cover manufacturers have found an answer with aluminum that resembles wood in form. The new wood-grained aluminum...

Patio Swing Covers
A Patio Swing is the favored place or corner where one likes to spend a few peaceful moments enjoying coffee, reading the newspaper or a savoring a cool drink with friends. This is reason enough to take proper care of your Patio Swing and not leave it uncovered in the open. The swing cushions and top cover will appear worn out and, if wooden, then it will require frequent polishing and termite treatment. The alternative to extra expenses is to purchase a high-quality Patio Swing Cover that will protect the swing from extreme temperatures, rain or dew. The material could be polyethylene with a top coating for longer life, or a tough and breathable polyester fiber.
Since the swing is seldom removed indoors, the cover should be easily wiped cleaned or hosed down. If selecting a pre-made cover see that there are securing eyelets to tie the cover, to prevent it from being blown away.
If the swing is rustproof and you do not want to keep it covered, then a canopy and swing...

Teak Furniture - The Ideal Furniture for Lifelong Outdoors Use
The Natural Beauty of Teak
Teak wood is beautiful, durable in exposed conditions, so teak furniture is in wide use as outdoor furniture. In addition to its wide use as teak furniture for outdoor use, teak wood is also used for making boat decks and indoor flooring.
Old teak wood, being harder and more durable, is best for making teak furniture. If the teak furniture is made of heavy sections and with mortise and tenon construction using brass fittings and brass screws, it will last more than a lifetime and can become part of the family inheritance. Teak furniture made from new teak is somewhat more vulnerable to splitting and water damage.
Teak furniture, particularly if made in heavy solid designs, has an elegance that is hard to match.
Teak furniture is maintenance free for all practical purposes because teak wood contains deophosphate of lime and oleaginous saps that make it immune to fungus and termite attack. Because adverse weather...

What's Underfoot? A Quick Guide to Patio Surfaces
Patios and terraces have always been popular outdoor spaces. Whether a Parisian courtyard or a rooftop alcove, only porches and sunrooms beat out these paved (or semi-paved) retreats in a recent survey of my readers as the most ideal outside living space. Let's examine some of the wide variety of patio surfaces. Patio StonesSomteimes called flags or slabs, patio stones are flat square or rectangular blocks of pressed concrete. Standard sizes generally include 2' x 2', 2' x 2?' and 2' x 3' (60 x 60 cm; 60 x 75 cm; 60 x 90 cm), with a 2" (5 cm) thickness.
They are a very well-known and popular choice for both homeowners and home builders and are favored both for their ease of installation and low price. Once only grey or greyer, patio stones are now available in a range of colors. Choose a color that blends with your garden or house, or make a patterned floor with two different colors. Patio stones are especially attractive when combined with an edging of a contrasting material...
