Outdoor Umbrellas For April Showers

Just as we have been getting our patios and other outdoor areas ready for those summer bbq’s, April showers have come in to rain on our parade. But not to worry, Patio Preserve has you covered- literally! In order to help keep your outdoor area protected, simply add an outdoor umbrella!

Outdoor umbrellas easily attach to your patio table, and come in coordinating patterns, to keep your patio furniture clean and dry, despite that rain! They can be installed and taken down easily, so you won’t ever have to fuss with patio furniture covers that don’t always fit correctly, and sometimes blow away. Outdoor umbrellas can also be positioned in other areas by snapping one into an umbrella stand, to keep those benches and other outdoor accessories dry.

Umbrellas are not only great for spring rains, but come summer, they can help keep the sun out of your eyes and create shady spots for areas lacking natural shade from mature trees.

While those spring rains may put a damper on the time you’ve allotted to get your seasonal outdoor cleaning done, they will certainly help all those newly planted flowers bloom beautifully, making your yard even more enjoyable come summer.

Outdoor Easter Festivities

Easter is one of our favorite holidays here at Patio Preserve! It is usually one of the first days of the year that we all can wear spring-like clothing and get outside to enjoy the smell of the newly budding flowers.

With that spring spirit in mind, try holding your Easter Festivities outdoors! Everyone is sure to appreciate the extra chance to enjoy the weather. Kids will love searching outdoors for those Easter Eggs and Easter Baskets (and there are plenty of new hiding sports the don't know about in the backyard)! For instance, your spring garden! Easter Eggs can be easily hidden in your bird bath and bird house or, nestle them between the flowering plants on your arbors, trellises or garden urns!

While the kids are busy hunting for Easter Eggs, the adults can relax and enjoy an outdoor Easter brunch on your comfortable patio furniture. Your guests will love the relaxed outdoor atmosphere as they sip coffee and watch the kids search for eggs on cozy benches, or stylish bistro sets. You can also add umbrellas to your patio set and free standing umbrellas to your other seating areas to keep that bright spring sunshine out of everyone's eyes. Don't forget that beverage coolers are great for keeping that morning juice chilled.

Happy Easter!
