Start a Garden

Starting a garden is a rewarding and fulfilling experience that allows you to connect with nature, grow your own food, and beautify your outdoor space. If you’re new to gardening, start with a small plot or container garden to avoid feeling overwhelmed. You can always expand in the future as you gain familiarity and confidence. 

DIY Fire Pit

Construct a backyard fire pit using bricks, pavers, or a metal fire ring. It’s perfect for roasting marshmallows, cozying up on cool evenings, and entertaining guests.

Outdoor Movie Screen

Set up your very own outdoor movie screen using a white sheet or projector screen and purchase an accompanying home projector to view your favourite movies and TV shows. This project is perfect for summer movie nights under the stars.

Rain Barrel

Make use of online tutorials and craft a rain barrel system to collect rainwater for watering plants and gardens. It’s not only eco-friendly, but also helps conserve water during dry spells.

Mosaic Stepping Stones

Make colorful mosaic stepping stones using broken tiles, glass, or ceramic pieces. They add a decorative touch to pathways and garden beds and are sure to capture guests’ attention.

DIY Bug Repellent Lanterns 

Make homemade bug repellent lanterns using mason jars, citronella oil, and wicks. These help keep mosquitoes and other insects at bay during outdoor gatherings, as nobody likes being swarmed by bugs when they’re spending time outside.

These DIY outdoor projects offer endless opportunities for enhancing your outdoor space and making the most of the summer season. Whether you’re looking to add functionality or visual appeal, there’s a project for every style and budget.
