How can I make a small backyard sitting area?
I live in an apartment, so am looking for the least expensive way to create a small backyard area to enjoy sitting out this summer.

What do you have to work with Linda? How large is the area? Can you post a photo? Concrete or dirt?
It sounds like you rent, so get permission from your landlord or management company before you alter anything. All you would need is some outdoor furniture that you can afford, it doesn't need to be fancy. Perhaps a love seat and chair or two and a few end tables, even a coffee table. A few potted plants in the area and you are ready to go. If you need shading from the sun, get an offset umbrella that you can adjust and move (I got one really reasonably from Aldies about three years ago and it is going strong to this day). I hope this helps you get the seating area you want, or at least gives you some ideas to start with, Linda!
Hi Linda,
There are a lot of ideas here:
