May brings warm weather and with it a chance t eat al fresco. There's nothing that beats a barbecue ro even a fancy meal in the quiet of your backyard. it pays ot make the backyard an outdoor dinign haven.
Of course you'll need a table and chairs. every brick and mortar and online store is selling some really pretty sets right now. Target has a six piece set that's only $165. It's a set of four chairs wiht a sturdy plastic table and umbrella in a greyish black shade.This is perfect for a family of four or just on your own to enjoy an iced coffee and a sandwich. The online home company Wayfair has a beautiful array of chairs and tables. This is like having an outdoor dining room set, complete with a table for twelve and comfy rattan and wicker chairs. You could also get a chair set and coffee table if you don;t want the expense or entertain much. wayfair has sets ranging from $227 for a rattan couch,chairs and table. to only 135 for a six piece set. keep in mind to get covers for the fall and winter months and to buy water and weatherproof cushions too. These can be bought at Walmart or also ordered from Wayfair.
Out door dining requires sturdy untensils and plates. Kohls has fun and colorful sets of melanine plates that not only hold up well but wash well too. (you cna easily use these for indoor use too). Other stores like walMart have much cheaper versions that also hold up well.Pick some colorful ones that can hold up well to anything from pasta salad to hamburgers. If you are having alot of people over for a party ro a shower then go the traditional route and get paper plates and throwaway utensils. Drinking glasses should be a sturdy plastic too You don;t want glass outside in case one breaks. Check Amazon which has everything from plastic champagne glasses to colorful tumblers. what about a mug for outdoor breakfast coffee or tea? A good sturdy one, which everyone has. Just be careful with it. what about tablecloths? Go with a felt backed plastic one that can endure everything from spilled barbecue sauce to rain. Again wal-Mart is your best bet for this .Target may have them too.
A good meal outside needs a good table and chair complete with the niceties of indoor dining. Pick out a good set. Finish with nice tablecloth and place setting.
