Whether you are selling or staying (for the time being!), here are the top six features that you (and buyers!) want (not including things that you take when you move, like comfy lounge chairs).
- Lighting – 96.2% Go for lights hard-wired to the grid. Solar-powered lights aren’t that popular, according to the survey.
- Fire pits/fireplace - 94.2% - Even a small fire pit can center a conversation area. Be sure it has a tightly fitting, sturdy guard.
- Seating/dining areas – 94.1% - The minimum is a table that seats four. Six is better. Eight is great.
- Installed seating – 89.5% -- Built-ins frame your space and ensure that you’ve got plenty of party seating.
- Counter space – 74.2% -- No space for a full-blown outdoor kitchen? Consider a drop-down counter attached to a wall. You can fold it up for winter storage.
- Utility storage – 61.3% -- Back to the built-ins: hinged tops let you stow cushions and accessories safely out of the wind and weather.

nice blog thanks for the info's
After a long day of work, whether in or at the office or in the yard, there's nothing more satisfying than coming home and relaxing in the security of your own backyard, on your very own patio furniture.
