Getting Your Backyard Ready for Summer

The weather is getting warmer and most of us are craving some time outside. Your backyard can be the perfect spot for you to kick back and relax this summer. However, that also means you may have to prepare your backyard and get it ready for the warm months coming up ahead. Here are a few ways you can prepare your backyard for the summertime:

Prepare Your Fence, Deck, and Other Décor

Take a look at what is currently in your backyard including your fence, deck, and other décor items. You might have already noticed that your fence or deck needs a fresh coat of paint after the harsh winter. You can also hose down your deck to wash any dirt accumulated on it from the winter season. Pay some attention to any lights or decorative items you have outside and clean them if necessary.

Getting Your Patio Furniture from Storage

Spending time at home doesn’t seem as bad if you have a nice backyard to spend some time in. To get your backyard ready you should grab all of your patio furniture and other summer equipment from storage whether that is from your garage, basement, shed, or self-storage unit. Some of the items you might consider bringing out are your patio furniture, gardening equipment, flowerpots, and other outdoor décor for the summer. If you have your summer equipment and patio furniture stored at one of our XYZ Storage facilities, you can stop by and grab it from your unit anytime.

Cleaning Your Summer Belongings

Once you have brought out all of your backyard necessities you should highly consider cleaning all of it. Think about all of the months your patio furniture has spent in storage and all of the dust and dirt that has probably accumulated on them. Make sure to follow washing directions of the cushion labels to learn how to correctly wash them. You also want to hose down your patio table, chairs, and umbrella as well as wiping them down. Do not forget to clean your barbeque so you can spend the next few months cooking delicious BBQ dinners with your friends and family. Have a pool in your backyard? Get that cleaned as well so your pool is ready for some lounging on pool floaties or dipping your toes in the cool water. When you are finally done you can enjoy sitting poolside with a good book and your favourite drink.
