You’re about to turn your backyard into your favorite room of the house.

I am a freelance lifestyle writer with bylines in Real Simple, The Everygirl, The Quality Edit, and more, covering fashion, beauty, home, and travel.

Promising review: "I have never purchased or used a greenhouse, but this one really made a good impression. Once assembled, it was very sturdy. Even had 50-mph wind gusts the next day and held up fine (anchored to the ground, of course). My friends are amazed at the pictures I've sent them. I'm contemplating purchasing another larger one. Would definitely recommend to others for purchase." —Geraldo

Price: $373 (available in two colors and two sizes)

It just takes three minutes to make a pizza in this small but mighty woodfire oven. 

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this Ninja unit. We have several Ninja products and this one just keeps up with the amazing quality and versatility of all the others. This heats up pretty quickly and stays hot. The cook is perfectly even and definitely something everyone should add to their backyard kitchen." —MilitaryMama

Promising review: "LOVE THIS OUTDOOR FURNITURE! The cushions are so comfy and thick. The ottoman is the perfect touch for relaxing! Not many steps to put it together, basically just screwing in the legs! You won't regret this!" —Awesome

Promising review: "Been looking at these for a while. Walmart had an amazing price so we jumped on it, happy early Fathers Day. He is enjoying having his own spot to cook and I’m enjoying eating what comes off it. Fantastic investment especially with he summer months and not wanting to heat the house up." —Stephanie

And if you don't like your original placement, it comes with wheels so you can move it.  

Price: $145.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "This is great! It arrived in great condition and was packed really well. There is barely any assembly involved (only the tank compartment), and it only took 5–10 minutes to assemble that. No damage whatsoever, like other reviews say. The size is perfect and not too big. It's also fairly light, which makes it easy to move around as needed to fit the space. Perfect for our growing patio and can double as a coffee table when it's not on! Can't wait for relaxing nights around the fire!! Highly recommend!" —Aaron

After you're done using it, it's easy to fold it up and tuck it away. 

Promising review: "I bought this power washer to use at our lake place to wash the deck, garage floor, boat, kayaks, etc. It works great. I have always used gas power washers in the past, but boy this one sure fit the bill and it is much easier to use and maintain. Four thumbs up." —Randall

Promising review: "I bought some of these last year and they are still working great. These lights are much brighter than I expected and the motion sensor is quite sensitive. I put them along the entry ramp, and with no electric cords to hassle with I mounted them on trees too. Now I can come in at night and the entire area lights up. I put one by the chicken coop and it discourages predators. Since they don't stay on like the porch light I always know when someone or something enters the property. Be sure to mount them where they will get 6 hours or so of sunlight." —Deen

Price: $22.98+ (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Fence was easy to put up and looks amazing. The quality is well worth the price. This was a great deal, easy project, with a magnificent outcome!" —Jill

Price: $69.99+ (available in four designs)

Promising review: "Easy to assemble. Very good quality heater compared to other brands available. Heat is also very good. Highly recommended." —LovingRetiremen

Price: $177+ (originally $197; available in two colors)

FYI: This uses Sterno fuel cans instead of wood, pellets, or gas. You can get a two-pack here!

Promising review: "Love this so much! It's easy to use and creates a great vibe! The Sterno crackles like a real fire. You can make s'mores on it, too, but only one person at a time. IMO that's not a negative!" —Anita

Price: $49.97+ (originally $69.99; available in three colors)

Promising review: "Love this egg chair and ottoman, well constructed and looks more expensive than it is, great buy!" —Love

Promising review: "Beautiful quality and appearance. For the money, I was surprised pillows were so very nice. I had gotten two. I immediately ordered four more. Black/white stripes match my patio umbrella perfectly to enhance my furniture. Service was excellent, got them delivered the next day. I'm a very happy camper with Walmart." —Gagi

Promising review: "I love everything about this umbrella. It's the finishing touch my deck needed. The color is exactly like the picture. The fringe is really cute. The 9-inch blue umbrella I purchased sits on an Adirondack table and chairs set and fits beautifully on my too-sunny 10x18-foot deck. Love it!" —Jeanne

Price: $141.54+ (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Amazing little fan for camping or outdoor activities when it's hot out! Love it!!!" —luvmykidsnc

Promising review: "It’s even better in person! I have it on my front porch, and it held up nicely all summer! Definitely recommend." —Kwats

Promising review: "This is a fantastic deal that I didn't realize from the description on the website. Even if you don't use it for chips and dip, you will use the separate pieces. When you remove the inserts, the large bowl is great by itself. Great for a large fruit salad, serving pasta, anything you want a large amount of, and want to be able to see it, because it's bamboo, it is lightweight, so still easy to handle. If that isn't enough, the pattern is lovely." —Alice

Price: $16.97 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Placed these beautiful lights around my riverbed, I did in the front of my house, and at night it illuminates it beautifully." —Paula

Promising review: "Amazing upgrade to our home. My wife and I love these lights! They're super easy to hang up and add a luxury feel to our home at a low cost. Definitely pull the trigger on these!" —Goatfather

Promising review: "Very attractive planter with a lightly scalloped edge. It's a brown tone rather than the typical orange terra-cotta. The drainage hole has a removable plug, making it perfect for succulents. Looks great on the patio!" —Susan

It also has a 4-in-1 discharge design for bagging, mulching, side-discharge, and a turbo-leaf pick-up mode.

Promising review: "I was a little skeptical at first, but after using it a few times and seeing how it works, I think it’s worth the investment. I was able to mow the areas with my riding lawn mower 3x and still had one full battery left. Another reason I like it is that I have health issues that hinder being able to use a gas-powered self-propelled mower. This one is still light even with the batteries, and I like its compactness — that’s a bonus!!" —michael

Promising review: "We have used this reel for some time, and it is well made, strong plastic, and easy to use. We fill the reel with a couple of connected hoses, and it saves on kinks, tangles, and being run over by a vehicle as the hose crosses a driveway. Since it is so easy to use, we reel it in after every use. Plan on buying several more for other outlets." —greasewood

Promising review: "Beautiful set. I have purchased the chairs and sofa before for my sunroom. I recently purchased the chairs for my outdoor area to match. Love the look, and they are very comfortable." —Bajenki

Promising review: "I love my rug! It is the second, for my porch. It washes up nicely and lasts. I leave mine out year-round on a covered porch, and it holds up nicely. Great outdoor rug choice!" —MsV

Promising review: "Perfect for what I was looking for to add a little privacy to my porch. The install is about two hours, but the product is decent for the price." —Kerry
