1. An outdoor side table that doubles as a cooler and can fit on large patios or small balconies. No matter your outdoor footprint, give your feet a rest from unnecessary runs to the fridge.

Thidaphone/Wayfair

Promising review: "I love this cooler. It’s easy to assemble as you only have to attach the legs. The material is hard plastic. It’s deeper than I thought I purchased a 24 pack of soda cans and a large bag of ice and still had plenty of space to add more. I would recommend." —Brittany

Price: $128 (available in six colors)

2. A beanbag lounger if you just want your outdoor space to have a little less structure. Just think of how satisfying it would be to end your day with a big jump onto a grown-up beanbag chair.

Wayfair

Promising review: "So comfy, did not fade in the Miami sun. Kept outside on my balcony which is not covered and gets direct sunlight. Also was rained on and water never got through the cover. The cover even became stained from rust leaking off my roof and it came out with no problem after just washing the cover in the washing machine. Great product." —Ashlyn

Price: $169.99+ (originally $239.99; available in 16 colors).

Wayfair

Promising review: "Great price. Great product. Easy assembly. I’ve done a few cooks on this griddle and I don’t know why I didn’t get this sooner. Easy to cook on easy to clean and Versatile. The two burner size was perfect for us." —Dana

Price: $459.99 (originally $873.60)

Wayfair

The set includes four dinner plates, four salad plates, and four bowls.

Promising review: “Love these dishes. Just as pretty as the pictures and a good size.

Would buy again.” —posup321

11. A cornhole set so you can settle that neighborly feud by reliving your favorite tailgate days (from college or just from last season). Plus, it folds up for easy storage when your patio is playing host to more ~sophisticated ~ events.

Wayfair

Promising review: “Our adult friends have truly become big time Cornhole fans. We appreciate the heavy weight of this set, which remains in place without moving or sliding around. Because it stores flat, it can be hidden under a bed or on the back wall of a closet. Besides the yard, it can be transported to the park.” —Denise

Price: $65.50 (originally $99.99)

12. A hammock chair that's holding space for you to defy gravity with an IG-worthy lounge chair that would make anyone who sees it green with envy.

Wayfair

Promising review: “This is a great little simple hammock! I would highly recommend using a pillow in it as it’s way more comfortable and keeps you more propped up! You will need some sort of bolt to hang it. This is such a cute addition to my patio!” —Amy

Price: $24.99 (originally $31.99)

13. A daybed to turn your patio into poolside at the Four Seasons, even if it lacks a pool, a waiter, fancy cocktails, or balmy summer weather. Lay back in this oversized lounger and open up one of those beach reads on your TBR.

Price: $17.99+ (available in 15 sizes and three colors)

16. A weather-resistant screen to add to existing patio walls that don't offer enough privacy. Your neighbors are lovely, but you don't need them watching you read that smut book you found on TikTok.

Wayfair

Promising review: "We just love these! We live in an apartment community where they cut the bushes down in between our patio and our neighbors! We bought two last year and another this year! We love them! Super easy to put together, stylish, and just the right amount of privacy! Great price and shipping was great! We also love that they are planters and we can add flowers! There is a taller version, and although we have not purchased that one, I would think that it would fall over very easily because they are so lightweight without soil and flowers in the planters! Love love love these!" —Anton David

Price: $189.99 (available in two colors)

17. A six-person hot tub to turn your patio into your own backyard oasis. Invite friends, family, neighbors, or just use it to unwind at the end of a long workday.

Brian/ Wayfair

This hot tub has colored lights, cup holders, and is a "plug and play" — meaning you can plug it into an electrical outlet, instead of needing to get it professionally wired into your electrical system.

Promising reviews: "Love love love my new baby!!! Every morning I have my coffee and greet the day in my beautiful new hot tub!! It is sturdy but beautiful and the soothing jets heal my aching muscles after a long day of work. It’s easy to set up — just fill, plug in, and let it do its thing and it will be set to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in about 20 hours from fill up. A few chemicals and there you go! Ready for some relaxing! The cover is well-made and very durable. I love the low profile of this hot tub and how deep you sit to get your shoulders and neck. A win-win in my book! Enjoy life." —Susan

Price: $3,563.20 (available in three colors)

18. An outdoor dining set because what doesn't taste better outside when the weather heats up? And the table is extendable for when you want to entertain larger groups.

The set includes an extendable table and six chairs with cushions.

Promising review: "Beautiful table and love the function of the extender for a larger table to accommodate extra guests. Highly recommend!" —Susan

Price: $1,190 (originally $2,840; available in two colors)

19. A pergola so all of your guests aren't crowded around one side of your table avoiding direct eye contact with the sun. This water- and UV-resistant shade is a major upgrade from your standard umbrella.

Wayfair

Promising review: “This pergola is a great fit for our back deck. The fact that it secured to the wood deck was necessary as it can get really windy in our backyard, and so far it has held up really well to rain and wind. We love the option to open and close the canopy, and we were able to add a tension rod to the west side so we can’t use outdoor curtains to block the evening sun. We thought we would have to save up lots of money to build a pergola, so we were thrilled to find this affordable, sturdy solution!” —Wendy

Price: $326+ (available in four colors)

20. An outdoor bar cart that can help you serve drinks, sun your plants, store gardening tools, or whatever your outdoorsy heart desires.

Price: $133.99 (originally $219.99)

21. A folding Adirondack chair to easily have on hand for all those extra guests (or neighbors) who can't resist dropping by your next barbecue. These can be stored easily in a garage or side yard and add some literal color to any gathering.

Wayfair

Promising review: “These are comfortable, attractive and so convenient for storage! The folding is what separates them from others. I chose black and really like them around my fire pit . I just ordered 2 more in Forrest green for my parents. I have a total of 6 black ones and just ordered the glider 2 seat version!” —Margit

Price: $209.99+ (originally $248.99, available in 13 colors)

22. A rolling cooler so your favorite drink can be at your fingertips no matter where on your patio you end up posting up. Plus, you can also show off your personal style with a variety of color options.

Wayfair

Promising review: “We’re so impressed with this cooler! Not only is it so stylish and adorable, but it’s kept ice for FOUR days!! We really had little expectations that it would preserve ice so well and we are stunned. It’s not in the direct sunlight, but it’s made it through several 75° days. It holds a sleeve of ice and tons of drinks. You won’t regret this purchase!” —Shannon

Price: $153+ (originally $199.99, available in seven colors)

23. A set of acrylic bar or drinking glasses for the neighborhood parties that start out with every ounce of class, but maybe get a little out of hand. Use these to avoid spending the next morning cleaning up broken glass (or rebuying drinkware).

Wayfair

Promising review: “These are fantastic! They are insulated so any ice inside doesn't melt too quickly and they don't sweat like most plastic glasses do (they sweat a little but that is to be expected). Best of all, they do not look like plastic glasses at all! They look like crystal!” —Rhonda

Price: $30.99 for a set of four

24. An outdoor dog bed to make sure your four-legged family can also soak up the sun. Going on walks, playing fetch, or joining your toddler in the kiddie pool is a hard day's work, after all. You just might hear some jealous barks from your tired neighborhood dogs.

Megan/ Wayfair

Promising review: "Love this bed! Super easy and quick to put together, very solid! The cushion cover has a zipper so you could remove and wash if needed. I love how polished it looks, it blends well with the rest of our patio furniture. Maggie is a 60-pound Labrador and we ordered a size medium (large was out of stock). She already loves it!" —Rachel

Price: $131.99+ (originally $229.99+; available in three sizes)

25. A pair of solar-powered floor lights that define patio ~mood~ lighting. These sleek, modern lights will earn some nosy looks from backyard neighbors and maybe a few "Where did you get those?" texts.

Wayfair

Promising review: "These solar lights are so beautiful. They add such sophistication to my patio space! I need to buy four more." —Debby

Price: $97.30+ (originally $121.67; available in four colors)
