Creating a Great Outdoor Space for Every Season

Beltmann BlogMaybe you’ve just moved into a new home and are looking to add some quality outdoor space. Or maybe you’re getting ready to move, but your realtor suggestion the upgrade of a deck or patio to squeeze out a better offer. Either way, here’s a few ideas in terms of creating an unforgettable outdoor space that can be enjoyed in every season.

Screened-in porch, the three-season option. If you’re looking to save a little money but still build something you can use for most of the year, a screened-in porch is an excellent way to go. Other than really extreme winter days, the screened in porch can be utilized the majority of the time. Even when it’s a bit chillier,  space heater will go a long way. And if you add a decent ceiling fan, the summer months can stay relatively cool.

Outdoor fireplaces. In warmer places like Florida, an outdoor fireplace is a great addition for year-round entertaining in the backyard. A little brick-laying and some classy outdoor furniture can make for a beautiful outdoor living room. And even if you don’t go as far as installing a real fireplace, there are plenty of options for more portable outdoor heating solutions.

Spas and hot tubs. Even if you’re not planning on hosting a dinner party in the backyard year-round, a hot tub or spa area is pretty cool. Having an amenity like this is a great reason to have friends over, especially in the cold months, and an impressive feature when showing a home.
