3 Backyard DIYs That Will Take Your Memorial Day BBQ To The Next Level

This classic outdoor patio dining set gives you six rocking chairs with sling-style, padded fabric seats so comfortable you’ll never want to get up. The steel frames are rust-resistant and the faux wood table is as durable as it is easy to clean.

This propane gas grill balances affordability with impeccable performance, giving you the utmost control over the BBQ feasts you’ll prepare this summer. There are 4 main burners on which you can grill everything from cedar plank salmon to kebabs, plus a side burner perfect for boiling a pot of water for corn on the cob, or caramelizing onions and peppers in a frying pan. The electric ignition means you’ll never have to fight to get the grill to fire up in an instant, and the built-in thermometer ensures precise temperatures and restaurant-quality results.

The surface area of this combo grill and smoker is what sets it apart. 780 square inches means you can cook two dozen burgers all at the same time, just in case you wanted to invite the whole neighborhood over for lunch. And this bad boy isn’t just good for grilling ground beef patties — you can smoke, bake, roast, braise, and barbeque, too, all with consistent temperatures thanks to easy-to-use controls on the grill and the accompanying smartphone app.

You can’t overstate the positive impact of color in a yard. Sure, you have the rich green of the grass and the natural tones of your deck, but when you plant annuals like petunias in a vibrant watermelon pink, what started as a simple DIY project becomes the literal bouquet you never knew you needed.

You’ve turned your backyard into an oasis of color; now add all-natural renewable bamboo tiki torches for a touch of drama. These classic, Polynesian-inspired lamps have a cool walnut and pecan stain, burn up to 5 hours with each fuel refill, and can even help keep mosquitoes away when filled with TIKI 100 oz.
