The best products for your backyard staycation
Like millions of people around the world, you may find yourself spending a lot more time at home this summer. But outdoor space—be it backyard, deck, patio, or maybe even an apartment balcony—can offer a perfect escape from the housebound blues.
Here at Reviewed, we test products and find the best ones for you. And just in time for warmer weather, we've collected the best, top-rated products for backyard living.
Summer has arrived, which means it's time to fire up the grill. If you're looking for the essential tools every grill master should own, we’ve got you covered. From the best-performing grills to the grippiest tongs and most accurate meat thermometers, we’ve spent hours cooking burgers, turning corn on the cob, and smoking pork loin to see which equipment will make your cookouts legendary.
Speaking of cookouts, you'll want to keep your beverages nice and cold. This is especially easy with our favorite ice cooler. It keeps things chilled for days, provides ample space for packing in food and drinks, and has rubber feet that keep it sturdy and balanced. Eventually you may want to use it for vacations, but for now, it’s perfect for a lazy day in the yard.
Backyard games are a great way to encourage some friendly competition and get your body moving. In the mood for a classic lawn game? This rubber horseshoes set is safer than traditional metal sets and it's easier to set up. Plus, reviewers say that the rubber mats on the stakes are heavy enough to not get carried away by the wind.
No patio would be complete without some comfortable chairs to lounge in. We rounded up the most popular outdoor furniture you can get online and suggest this three-piece furniture set with over 1,800 reviews. The set includes two rattan steel-based wicker chairs and a matching end table. Its sponge-filled cushion stands up to the elements and protects against back pain.
Want to add some flair to your outdoor space? Try a fire pit. This top-selling wood-burning fire pit includes a log grate, fire stoker, spark screen, and cover, which reviewers note are all usually added expenses.
