The economy has caused many people to rethink relaxation and is the driving force behind the rediscovery of the latest "hot spot." For many, looking to get the most bang for their relaxation and entertainment buck, the new trendy resort getaway is just outside their door. Many people needing a quiet getaway are converting their own patios and backyards into the perfect spa retreat that lasts well beyond one trip to a more distant destination.

Investing in an Affordable Retreat
Wisely investing in products that will serve them for many years, versatility is key. Most experts recommend choosing well crafted, durable pieces that can be moved and used in different situations.
- Look for patio furniture that can be used collectively for entertaining such as chars that can be arranged either separately or as an outdoor living room arrangement.
- Consider products that provide the greatest amount of flexibility, such as large parasols. Durable large parasols are a must have accessory that can be easily moved to accommodate guests, or to create your weekend haven for a good book.
- Small weatherproof tables are also an invaluable accessory for everyday use and entertaining.

Well Designed Outdoor Spaces
On many patios, many things are fixed in place such as the patio covering. On sunny day, a lack of shade and protection from the sun's damaging rays can prevent many from venturing much beyond the protective covering, leaving much of the space underutilized. However, there are many ways to overcome this challenge with some great design and the strategic use of accessories. When designing your outdoor retreat, consider these things:
- At outdoor events, people gather in the most comfortable and shaded locations. When possible, plan to create several inviting locations closely enough that it does not segregate the gathering too dramatically.
- Consider the landscaping. Trees may provide a natural canopy and a wonderful place to set up chairs or tables.
- Use portable coverings, such as large parasols to create shade and a comfortable place for guests. Large parasols not only can accommodate many people, it can be moved to draw the gathering closer together, keeping people mingling.

Private Home Retreat
Getting away from it all does not have to be far or expensive. In fact, adding a few select pieces to your patio can create the perfect spa like retreat that anyone would want to frequent. The best investments are mobile or multifunctional pieces that can be moved around the space to meet the needs of the circumstances.
- Comfortable, all weather chairs and loungers are an affordable investment for any outdoor patio space, and a great place to start to add to your design.
- Even a bright sunny yard that does not have a patio covering can be affordably transformed into a cool, shaded escape with the use of large and movable parasols.

No matter what your outdoor shade challenges or needs may be, an attractive and affordable solution can be found. Protection from the sun is not only a convenience, it is essential in the ability to properly enjoy the outdoors while protecting the health of the ones you love.

With summer weather quickly approaching, Johney Maron wanted to turn his backyard into an outdoor oasis. By utilizing a large parasol for shade and sun beds by the pool he has created the perfect place for relaxation and recreation. Now all he needs is his sunglasses, a glass of lemonade, and his family.
