A Summer-Ready Columbus Oasis Offering Every Imaginable Outdoor Living Pleasure Possible

A stunning multi-level deck is a great place to start. Adding several outdoor living places and spaces is the ticket to creating a lifetime of backyard memories. Each additional outdoor area and feature will create a cohesive leisure wonderland.

By creating a series of outdoor rooms, it will look like and feel like an outdoor home without any visible barriers – no walls. To put it another way, think of this construction concept as giving you the flexibility to create zones, with each one offering its own use.

How We Can Create An Outdoor Kitchen Grilling Zone

An outdoor kitchen is a great way for the household chef to create wonderful meals while having the ability to interact with family members and guests. This space, solely dedicated to cooking, will easily replace back and forth trips into your house as everything needed can be right there.

Countertops for food prep and assembly. A freestanding grill powered by gas or charcoal – or one that is built into the space. For perishable items and beverages, outdoor refrigerator drawers. Cabinets for storage and easy access to cooking tools and accessories when needed.

The Key To Creating The Perfect Outdoor Dining Zone

As summer late afternoon and evenings have a tendency to linger longer in the fresh outdoors, comfort is key. Our recommendation is to place your outdoor dining room in a covered porch or a covered patio in the event of a sudden weather change. Protection overhead will ensure that festivities will not be impacted by a rain shower or intense sun.

As for accommodating your dinner guests, overhead fans are always a good idea, especially during the warmer days of summer.

After dinner, having your dinner party guests move to an adjacent, more cozy zone for conversation will keep the party going without interruption. Seating arrangements with outdoor sofas and built in benches is a great way to make guests comfortable. To accommodate beverages and dessert served after dinner, having accent tables will add to the casual ambience of the moment.

Making A Connection Among The Outdoor Living Zones

Landscaped borders, patios and walkways integrated throughout and among the zones will add functional beauty throughout your backyard. Keep stairs and steps at a moderate depth to ensure that everyone can navigate easily.

For illumination after sunset, functionality, safety and beautification, can be achieved several ways. Lighting under deck rails, on post caps and within steps is smart and will be appreciated by all, especially late into the evening.

Be sure to pay special attention to kid-friendly spaces to turn them into fun leisure zones for playtime while the adults spend quality time with one another. Having a game table with an assortment of board games, card games and puzzles will occupy them for hours.

Be sure to include a lawn area for more physical activity like volleyball and flag football for older kids and teens.
