Keep cozy and dry in your backyard, even on rainy days.
Some days in summer could even be cool and gloomy in Maryland. Whether you are amid early summer thunderstorms, a summer cold spell, or the chilled drizzling in autumn, there is nothing stopping you from stepping outside and relishing your backyard. How can you enjoy your backyard in the rain? With these features, you can use your outdoor living space rain or shine.
Build a Covered Seating Area
Adding an outdoor feature with a solid roof overhead is the simplest way to go. A couple of ideas are to build a gazebo or pavilion in a prime spot in your backyard. From this point, you can enjoy your garden privately and have the best view of the place. Rain or shine, you can benefit from the shelter and shade it provides.
Build an Enclosed Outdoor Living Space
If you would prefer something closer to the house, you could also install a screened porch or a sunroom. Both of these options do not connect with the home’s central HVAC system; they are outdoor units that still create a beautiful living space. From the comfort of your screened porch or sunroom, you can enjoy a rainy day with maximum sunlight.
Add Greenery & Water Features
If your aim is to enjoy your backyard in the rain for the view, consider your landscaping. Where you place the outdoor living feature should have an exceptional view of the backyard and possibly the house. Beautiful plants and water features, like ponds or fountains, will add ambiance through sight, sound, and smell.
Turn on the Lights
Back under your gazebo or on your screened porch, you can brighten up a cloudy, rainy day with outdoor lights. Add string lights around the room’s perimeter, for starters. String lights will be bright enough to provide adequate visibility and a cozy atmosphere. For extra light, add a chandelier or some outdoor table or standing lamps. Outdoor lighting makes it possible to enjoy your outdoor spaces at night, but it can also give warmth and brightness to a rainy day!
