With the right decor, any outdoor space can serve as an excellent venue for entertaining guests. The choice depends on your budget and personal preferences.

How to build an entertaining space

No matter the amount of space you have in your backyard, you can set up an outdoor entertaining area by focusing on three basic elements: shade, seating and lighting.

Shade will help provide relief from harsh sun and hot temperatures, keeping you and your guests cool and comfortable.
