1. A set of vinyl outdoor privacy screens, because sometimes you have to keep some ugly stuff in your yard — like air conditioners and trash cans. Give them a brand-new, clean look with these charming enclosures.

Walmart

Promising review: "Excellent privacy screen. Product is very much as described. Fairly easy to assemble due to the many pieces. The completed assembly was an improvement over the bushes we were using. Very satisfied with the outcome." —Edward

Price: $89.99

2. A hanging egg chair that'll be your new favorite seat this season. Once you curl up in this thing under the warm sun, you'll never want to leave.

Walmart

Promising review: "This chair is very comfortable, and when you sit in it and rock back-and-forth, you feel very calm and at ease, and my granddaughter and I take turns sitting in it, and we both love it. Thank you." —Ruth

Price: $107.99+ (originally $124.99+; available in eight styles)

3. A portable disc golf catcher to bring one of the most fun outdoor games in the world to your backyard. Become the Frisbee champ and dominate the next time you're on the actual course.

Walmart

Promising review: "Bang for your buck — it's great. Solid build, easy assembly. The chains aren't as heavy as more expensive catchers but they seem to work. They are put together more like a net with cross pieces, but they seem fine to me. It did tip over with a heavy gust of wind. Probably 30 mph. It would be easy to secure the base with a tent stake or something similar. Right now, I put a block on it, and it stays upright." —Mike

Price: $80

4. A six-piece outdoor patio set because why not eat every single meal al fresco when the weather is (finally) so nice?

Walmart

Promising review: "For the price of this set, you can't beat it. I love the red! It's super quick and easy to put together. Umbrella is a bit hard to open sometimes, but that is literally my only complaint. It's a simple but very comfortable set. If you're looking for something that looks good without spending a ton of money, BUY THIS!" —Sierra

Price: $136 (available in three colors)

5. A wide hammock for giving your patio that straight-up island feel. You can hang it on a free-standing frame or between two trees — either way, it's gonna be oh-so comfy.

Walmart

Promising review: "Super price and amazing value. Love it!" —Douglas

Price: $149.67+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors)

6. A metal bench that will look delightful on your patio and will probably last forever, too. Spruce it up with some vibrant cushions, or leave it as is to give yourself some firmer support.

Walmart

Promising review: "I had this in my cart for months. I finally ordered it and wished I had done it sooner. It's sturdy, well-made, and comfortable. It's such a great value as well." —anonymous

Price: $49.99 (originally $74.98) 

7. A durable planter to create the perfect space for adding even more beautiful flowers to your backyard. Plus, the modern concrete finish gives them a classy home.

Walmart

Price: $75.85+ (available in two colors)

8. A wooden porch swing because there is nothing more relaxing than a gentle swing on a summer evening. Observe your kingdom from this bench as the sun sets on another lovely day.

Walmart

Promising review: "I installed this swing on my back porch; now I sit and watch my cows, which are 50 feet from me. The swing was easy to install." —outlaw2u2

Price: $186.73

9. A firepit table that uses a 20-pound propane tank (sold separately) so you can simply turn it on whenever you want to warm up or toast some 'mallows. Building a fire is cool, but we live in the 21st century — technology has our back.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love it! Easy to set up (Who am I kidding? I have no idea. My husband did that, but I didn't hear any complaining)! We have been enjoying this firepit on the patio every night! Looks great!" —Monica

Price: $394

10. A portable basketball hoop you can adjust in height and position for players of all levels. Buying this is the first step to winning an NBA championship, so hop to it.

Walmart

Promising review: "After looking at several websites, this was by far the best value for the quality of hoop it is. I saw several reviews about the difficulty of putting the hoop together, however I would tell you that my 10-year-old daughter and I put it together — just the two of us — in a total of about three hours or less. We are also impressed with the quality for the price. Highly recommend." —Cory

Price: $348 (also available in a bundle with a ball)

11. A multilevel rock fountain with LEDs that will both transport you to a Japanese tea garden and provide the soothing ambience of running water.

Walmart

Price: $92.99 

12. A seed-starter vegetable growing kit because it's time to start making your own salads and juices from scratch. Your backyard will become your own private farm.

Walmart

This blossoming kit comes with a drip tray, a 12-cell seed tray, a humidity dome, seed label sticks, 12 compressed soil pucks, instructions, and an assortment of six salad garden seeds (carrot, lettuce, mixed greens, radish, tomato, and cabbage).

Price: $28.72+ (available in two styles)

13. A Bluetooth rock speaker to fill your yard with music without sacrificing the natural landscape. Plus, it's a fun game to see if people can find where the music is coming from.

Walmart

Promising review: "It's great yard art. Sound is also great." —patty

Price: $84.53 

14. A wooden plant display stand that will make your outside flowers and plants look even better than they already do, while also utilizing unused vertical space. The different shelf levels make it easy to have fun with the arrangement as well.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I ordered this plant stand to use both indoors and outdoors. It's beautiful, and I love all the space for plants and various pot sizes. Assembly was not enjoyable, and I considered giving up and returning the item, but I decided to keep hammering pieces, and I'm glad I did. I switched to a regular, more heavy-duty hammer and had better luck getting the pieces in tight. It is sturdy and has held up well outside on our deck. It's now been moved inside for the colder seasons and doesn't take up much space. If assembly doesn't bother you, I'd recommend this plant stand for you." —Chelsea

"The people who say the plant stand doesn't fit together properly are not hammering the joints on completely. This is a fabulous product and I am honestly amazed. Like one of the other reviewers, I opened the package and saw a nightmare. Just take everything out and put it in piles and follow the instructions. Super, super easy. Took me about an hour, but that's because you're hammering lots and lots of joints in place. I'm absolutely very pleased with it." —Anne

Price: $19.59+ (available in eight sizes/configurations, including options with wheels)

15. A string of globe bistro lights to keep the party going throughout the night and provide enough ambiance for it to be the most chill party of all time.

Walmart

Promising review: "These are perfect for my patio! So cute, the right size, they hang perfectly, and I love that they are actually plastic, as we get a lot of wind where we are. I've had them for almost two years now and only have two bulbs that have gone out, so I'm ordering a strand just for bulbs." —MrsRuiz2007

Price: $7.88

16. An 8-foot trampoline that will undoubtedly create some high-flying fun all summer long. Plus, it comes with a safety enclosure, so no need to worry about disastrous falls.

Walmart

Promising review: "Was easy to assemble (it took less time than the manual said). The instructions were written clearly and in a humorous style that made it fun and enjoyable. We have many users (including our children and neighbors), and it's doing well!" —Tovia

Price: $169.99 

17. A large smoker and grill that can handle everything on the barbecue menu — think: burgers, dogs, tri-tip, and ribs. Is your mouth watering yet? 🤤

Walmart

Promising review: "I am a professional chef in Country Clubs and Hotels. I have tried GMG and Traeger, and by far I like this Pit Boss better than both. It is strong and heavy-duty for the cheaper model. Not poorly made with light plastic like they use on the cheaper brands. It is heavy and thick metal for the price." —Gregory

Price: $536 (originally $596)

18. A portable Cuisinart charcoal grill so you can take your barbecue skills beyond your own backyard and into your friends' backyards. This little baby will be the teaser — soon, everyone will be coming back to your place to see your full grill in action.

Walmart

Promising review: "I immediately fell in love with this grill. I made some chicken and Italian sausages on it, and it cooked them fast. Very efficient and easy to carry and clean." —Kenny

Price: $39.99 (available in two colors)

19. A set of wind chimes to add that natural, serene charm to your porch, patio, or garden. Let the wind be your soundtrack this spring and summer.

Walmart

Promising review: "Soothing. Beautiful, lovely-sounding chimes. Not too loud to place on the door wall on the deck. Highly recommend." —tms

Price: $34.99

20. A raised garden bed to put your fresh flowers on display like they deserve to be. Who knew you could start a side hustle as a florist? 🌻

Walmart

Promising review: "I am very pleased with my purchase. I was able to assemble them myself; I like the color, and I like the size. Perfect to have my little grandson help me plant and water, too. I purchased four of them and am looking forward to harvesting my vegetables this season! If I am ambitious, I plan to buy more next season!" —LRose999

Price: $89.59+ (available in three quantities, including a two-pack with enclosure)

21. A lightweight solar-powered outdoor lantern to set the mood in your backyard for those warm nights of good conversation and many glasses of wine.

Walmart

Promising review: "It looks like a real lantern and looks good on my porch." —Margaret

Price: $13.98+ (originally $22.99+; also available in a two-pack)

22. A triple-decker birdhouse that will attract some new avian friends to your outdoor space. With this expanded design, the birds will be sure to have all their friends over for a colorful party full of songs.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love this birdhouse! Very well made, sturdy, thick wood. Attractive design as pictured." —Victoria

Price: $29.98

23. A set of 10 LED path lights to keep your backyard well-lit after spending your evening enjoying the night sky. These babies are solar-powered, too, and last all night after eight hours of sun exposure.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is my second order of these garden lights, and they are wonderful! Nice size, they go on automatically at dark and recharge in the sun the next day. I leave them out through the winter, and they are lovely in the snow. Price was exceptionally good!" —Cathy

Price: $24.99+ (originally $54.99; available in six color combinations)

24. A hard-top gazebo with netting for some extra shade in your backyard. Sometimes we want the sun around us but not on top of us. This gazebo takes care of that with ease, while the net enclosures make sure pesky bugs don't ruin your afternoon hangs.

Walmart

Promising review: "It's a very nice gazebo. It's very sturdy and relatively heavy to withstand winds. The cover fits snugly and looks very good. There are a lot of steps to put together, but it's easy to do with two people. We are very happy with it installed on our deck for additional living space this summer." —Linda

Price: $179.99+ (available in five sizes and five colors)

25. An outdoor cornhole set because outdoor recreation is better for your health than sitting in front of the TV all dang day (that's a direct callout of myself). Soon, your backyard will be the spot for some healthy competition among friends.

Walmart

Promising review: "The set is nice, simple to set up, and comes with a convenient carrying bag." —Missourigal

Price: $79.99 (available in four colors)

26. An indoor/outdoor rug that will add even more tropical flavor to your slice of paradise with its bright color palettes and playful patterns.

Walmart

Promising review: "This carpet that is going on my deck is very well made — nice heavy weight, well-bound edges. The pattern is neutral but has a stylish appearance. Looks like a quality rug rather than the usual plastic-looking mats." —WordDreams

Price: $47.85+ (available in six sizes and six colors/patterns)

27. An above-ground pool, because there is simply no other activity that screams summer and spring like a pool party. It comes in five sizes, too, so no matter how big your backyard is, you can be the host with the most.

Walmart

Promising review: "Hands down, Walmart had the best deal for this pool. This was the upgrade we definitely needed. Our family of six has really enjoyed being able to swim around and splash and have a good time. Totally beats going anywhere during a hot day, we’d rather be home swimming." —Melanie

Price: $178 (originally $299.99; available in five sizes) 

28. And if your family has some new members these days (first of all, congrats) opt for this kiddie pool. Why not give your child some wonderful summer memories as early as possible?

Walmart

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was wanting! The smaller size allows a jolly jumper to fit in it, so my baby can jump and splash when it’s hot out. It also has a fun texture on the bottom that my baby loves." —Bailey

Price: $6.96+ (originally $10+; available in three sizes as well as a 2-pack and 3-pack)

29. A drink refrigerator, so when everyone is over for a hang, they can grab their next drink right when they finish their last one. This bad boy can hold up to 125 12-ounce cans, or with some careful shuffling of shelves, plenty of bottles. Whatever you prefer to fill it with, the party can go on for a loooooong time.

Walmart

Promising review: "It’s perfect for my needs. Black is a very nice color, looks very nice. Easy to move. It's very durable. Very happy with my soda pop mini fridge. When it arrived, it was secured and packaged nicely with lots of support. Very happy with that to avoid breakage and scratches. Thank you for caring." —Gabriela

Price: $129.99 (originally $259.99; also available in a smaller size)

30. A jungle gym for when the kids would prefer to stay dry while they have their fun. With swings, slides, sandboxes, and more, they will never get tired of this. You might even want to try it out yourself.

Walmart

Promising review: "Very cute and perfect for our three grandkids who are 2, 4, and 5. The instructions were fairly easy, and all of the materials were marked for assembly. It took two of us several hours to assemble. It is sturdy enough that I feel safe with the kids playing on it. For the price, it was a great purchase." —Ladner

Price: $299 (originally $399)
