Clean 

 

First of all, before you do anything else, it's crucial to clean what you already have. That means the patio stones or decking planks, themselves, as well as any future you have outside.

The good thing is that you will likely find that by power washing items you already have, you can significantly reduce the amount of money you will need to spend because even the oldest dirtiest pieces come up like new! 

 

Cover 

 

Next, as we are coming into the Autumn season, covering over your patio space, it's pretty essential if you still want to use it during the colder months. It is also a smart idea to cover your patio space in the summer because it can provide much-needed shade and protection from the Sun's UVA and UVB rays.

There are several patio cover options to consider here, such as building a conservatory or a sunroom. Although, by far, the cheapest is to erect your own cover with a canvas sail, or create a veranda with some corrugated tin panels on wooden supports. The latter being something you can pain and train vines to grow over to provide a more aesthetically pleasing look. 

 

Add seating

 

One of the most vital aspects of any patio area is the seating. If you haven't got comfortable seats, then your family won't get the use out of the space that you would like. 

 

Unfortunately, patio seating can be expensive, especially if you want the high-end look of rattan or solid wood. The good news is that you can still choose this type of seating, even if you are on a budget. All you need to do is look for things like this frontera coupon code and then make your purchase online. Something that means you can buy the best quality furniture that will be comfortable and look great, without blowing your budget. 

 

Cooking space 

 

For many families, an area in which to cook yummy treats is an essential element of any patio space. It's not just BBQ's that are popular but stone pizza ovens, and even full outdoor kitchens too. 

 

Of course, if you are looking to create such a space on a budget, DIY is the way forward. You can even find some thorough and helpful tutorials on how to build your very own outdoor kitchen here.

 

However, even DIYing such a space can be expansive, so you may wish to opt for a simple portable BBQ instead. Just be sure to compare prices of the model you want online before you buy, as you can make massive savings this way!
