Top 12 Amazon Outdoor Essentials
I can't quite believe that this set of two stylish plant pots is under $20 — they're an absolute steal! They feature built-in drainage holes and are lightweight, making them easy to move around your outdoor space. If you love them as much as the 1,481 reviewers who have given these pots a 4.5/5 stars, you might even consider moving them inside (or purchasing a second set!).
This fluid hourglass shape is stunning on its own, but the handy extra storage takes this stool to the next level. Actually, no: it’s the fact that it costs less than $50. Wait, scratch that: it’s the 4.4/5 star rating over 709 reviews for me. Unheard of for a piece this affordable. Believe it!
Elevate your plain picnic table with this 38%-off tablecloth. It looks like it was plucked from a high-end cabana and, to my delight, is actually water-resistant. It’s the perfect base layer for your summer tablescape. One of the almost 2,000 reviewers raves: ‘I was looking for an outdoor tablecloth that didn’t stain because my previous one did. This one has withstood a ton of bad weather and spills without any damage. All you have to do is zip it up and wipe down for any spills…so easy.’
This outdoor organization caddy is the ideal stylish storage solution for your backyard, patio, or terrace, and it’s currently discounted. I love its sleek, very incognito appearance. What’s inside? Towels, garden equipment? They’ll never know. Plus, the wood-look design will fit in with the rest of your outdoor furniture while the weather-resistant resin protects the contents. To maximize this pick, consider placing cushions on top for additional seating if you entertain.
I own this Roccbox pizza oven and absolutely adore it (as do 1,750 others, apparently!). It makes perfect wood-fired pizzas, and the stylish (and heat-resistant) sage green design masquerades as a piece of decor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
If you're in the market for a new outdoor rug, you’ll be thrilled to learn that this luxe-looking one is 20% off! I adore the navy and white pattern, which is reversible, so you can switch up the look of your seating area with ease. And if a rectangular isn’t the vibe you’re going for to define your space, this best-selling pick is available in several round sizes as well.
There’s nothing better than an open fire — it feels like nights at the beach and charming camping retreats. The only thing better than roasting your marshmallows over this stylish wood-burning fire pit on a warm summer evening is knowing you got it for a song! It even comes with a waterproof cover and protective screen. It might sound odd to call a firepit chic, but this one certainly fits the bill.
Get this: open rope wicker, an easy-to-clean tempered glass side table, and an outdoor sofa sectional that can double as a loveseat and chair. I’ll race you to the checkout for this patio set! It's $125 off and has a completely weather-proof finish — you simply cannot beat this find! Add an outdoor rug, and voila! A full-fledged outdoor living room.
Calling all plant parents! There's 34% off this raised plant bed in an effortlessly elegant terracotta shade. It makes your herbs, vegetables, or flowers look like something out of a Nancy Meyers movie. With a 4.7/5 star rating over 106 reviews and available in a range of colors, I simply cannot think of anything more perfect.
These classic outdoor string lights will add a whimsical, warm glow to your outdoor space come evening, perfect for entertaining al fresco. And, if the party gets too wild, rest easy knowing these plastic bulbs are shatterproof and weather-resistant. One reviewer quips: ‘These plastic bulbs are a great idea. I smacked them around quite a bit (inadvertently) while stringing them up. Not a scratch to be seen, much less any broken glass, and I thought the manufacturer’s inclusion of a couple of spare bulbs was a considerate touch.’
In other outdoor decor news — this gorgeous green water feature is currently reduced by 27%. Do you have a water feature? I think not! I love its cracked jar design, which adds a unique touch to your backyard. This is your sign to make your neighbors green with envy. And if you're feeling bold, note that it looks even more modern in red.
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, more frustrating than getting a package stolen. Make sure that never happens again with this ingenious contraption: a sleek weather-resistant delivery box. The best thing since sliced bread. It has a large-capacity one-way system where packages can be delivered and only retrieved by opening a lock. Add it to your porch and watch the magic happen. It's also 19% off right now, no biggie.
