Outdoor living is a year-round topic on Hometalk. Hometalk members are busy planning and maintaining outdoor living spaces from the heat of summer to the cold of winter. Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.

Farm Fence

I put this split rain fence on a hill near my pond. I was not sure what I could get to grow in this barren spot. I was truly surprised and happy when everything blossomed beautifully. I planted old cultivars. Tried and true roses, grasses and bulbs. One never knows in Texas when we plant, if we'll get beauty or bust!

  • The plantings are simple, creeping jenny, ponytail grasses, bacopa, and sweet potato vines.
