A Patio Space For Movies

We love to watch movies under the stars when the weather gets warmer, but with warm weather also comes bugs. A lot of creepy crawlies and mosquitoes. The best way to keep the bugs away is with none other than fire. Fire can also provide you with some heat when the nights get chilly. Whether you go with a fire pit or tiki torches, the ambient light will set a great mood for your patio project. 

 

Movie screens can be made of all sorts of things, from white sheets and PVC piping to projected on a fence or a tarp. You could even hang a sheet between two posts of a patio cover. Patio covers are also great for providing you with some shade too. 

When it comes to the surface of your patio, many people choose to either go with stone or cement these days because it doesn't require constant sanding and repainting like a deck would. Stone pavers can get you a beautiful natural look for your patio. But, if you want a smoother surface you might choose to go with laying cement. Don't forget that you will likely need some professional help in figuring out how to slope your patio away from your home to avoid flooding.
