Outdoor Living Goals

ByAndrew Beard

Exploring options for an outdoor living area is on the list for many homeowners this Spring. An area for relaxing, entertaining, eating and drinking. Utilising the garden to its full potential means taking the indoors, outdoors. An outdoor room using a gazebo or pergola is ideal for making the most of the space and enjoying the garden at the same time. Yardistrydirect provide gazebos, pergolas, pavilions and accessories for the ultimate in outdoor living.

This image captures an in-progress construction project—specifically, enclosing an open wooden outdoor structure (like a pergola or pavilion) to create a more sheltered space. Here is a detailed breakdown of the scene: Main Structure: A sturdy wooden frame (posts and beams) is visible, with a translucent or corrugated roof covering overhead, suggesting it was originally a patio cover or open gazebo. Construction Work: Walls: New vertical wooden studs have been framed within the existing posts to create a wall. A partial wall of tongue-and-groove horizontal cedar or pine boards is being installed along the bottom. A finished board wall is already in place on the left side of the structure. Tools & Equipment: The ground is scattered with construction materials and tools, including: Extension cords (yellow). Various power tools (drills, saws). A couple of step ladders or step stools. A collection of debris and possibly some snacks (a plate with food remains on the small ladder to the left). Background & Setting: The structure is attached to or immediately next to a house with light green or sage siding and a white door/window frame. Beyond the structure is a wooden privacy fence and the roofline of a neighboring house. Atmosphere: The image conveys a sense of active DIY work and transformation of an outdoor space into a more private, functional room.

Customer feedback is vital to our business. Therefore we are delighted to feature a customer review on the Yardistrydirect 12ft x 16ft gazebo. “Yardistrydirect was the answer to our outdoor living dilemma. We extended our patio, then we built the Gazebo. Adding furniture, rugs, LED string lighting, a ceiling fan, sound bar with subwoofer and surround sound speakers, made the gazebo into a room of its own. Bar tables, a roll-down sun shade, curtains, and even a small swing for young children to enjoy. Two tables behind the furniture with chairs created a place for dining outside”.

This image shows a beautifully finished, newly constructed wooden gazebo or patio cover attached to a modern house. Here is a detailed description: Structure: A sturdy, four-posted wooden structure, likely a pergola kit or custom build, with a medium-toned stain (similar to the Mocha Brown from the previous image). It features substantial posts with decorative base trim and structural braces. Roof: The structure has a pitched roof with a light-colored, possibly metal or shingled covering, providing full weather protection. Location & Patio: The structure is built over a two-tiered concrete patio. The immediate area beneath the structure is a smooth, light grey concrete, while the outer area near the house is a slightly darker, aggregate-style finish. Furnishings & Use: A BBQ grill and possibly other dark furniture are visible underneath the cover, suggesting it's an outdoor cooking and living space. Lighting: A strand of large globe string lights is hung across the back fence, adding a warm, inviting glow. Setting: House: The structure is placed next to a modern house with dark grey or blue-grey siding and large glass doors. Fence: A vertical wooden privacy fence forms the back boundary of the yard. Tools: Two aluminum step ladders (one on the left and one on the right) are still present, indicating the project has just been completed or is awaiting final touches. The image portrays a functional, stylish, and covered outdoor entertainment area.

“For the Gazebo, I highly recommend to sort out all of the pieces and place the hardware in numbered ziplock bags. Therefore they correlate to what page of the instruction the hardware will be installed at. That way, you’ll know exactly what you need when you’re on that page (it’s all in the bag). As long as you’re willing to put in some time and sweat, you can really build yourself that outdoor living space at a fraction of the cost. We now spend almost every evening outside in our garden from April through September. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Yardistrydirect gets an A+ for such a high quality product that goes together exactly as expected”.

This image displays a fully furnished and lit outdoor living space built under a wooden gazebo or patio cover, suggesting it is the completed interior of the structures seen previously. Here is a detailed description of the covered patio: Structure: The wooden frame has a medium-toned stain. The roof interior shows the rafters and the underside of the corrugated metal sheeting roof (similar to the one in the previous images). Lighting & Ambiance: The space is well-lit with string lights tracing the perimeter beams, and a ceiling fan is mounted centrally on the roof peak for air circulation. Seating Area: A large, comfortable-looking outdoor sectional sofa in neutral colors (light grey/beige) is positioned in the center, facing a wall. Entertainment: A large flat-screen television is mounted on the wall to the right. The wall itself is finished with horizontal wood paneling (similar to the construction in one of the previous images). There is a small toddler/child's table and chairs set beneath the TV. Children's Area: To the left, a blue and yellow plastic swing is hung from the rafters, and various toys are visible nearby, indicating a family-friendly space. House Access: The structure is attached to a house with sage green siding and features a white sliding glass door leading into the house, flanked by tall windows. Floor: The patio floor is covered with a large outdoor area rug, anchoring the seating arrangement. The space is designed as a comfortable, multi-functional outdoor room for relaxing, entertaining, and family activities, usable both day and night.
