Here is our list of top backyard DIY projects to get the most out of your yard. 

1. Outdoor Kitchen

Any true outdoorsman loves to spend time outside grilling, but to perfect your BBQ routine you need to be fully equipped. Having your grill, sink, and utensils all within arms reach means you can focus on the cooking. This DIY outdoor kitchen simplifies the BBQ process, so you can stop dashing inside for your cooking essentials and spend more time soaking up the sun. Complete with an outdoor sink, counter space, and dish storage, you’ll be fully equipped to become known as the grill master.

2. Deck & Railings

A well-designed deck is essential is creating a backyard that is inviting and comfortable place to pass the time. A freestanding deck can be built anywhere that best fits the layout of your yard. See these deck design plans to build your own freestanding deck that suits your backyard vision. Of course, you’ll want to ensure the safety of your deck by adding railings. Our Century Aluminium Railings are easy and quick to install for any DIY project. You can choose between scenic, glass, or pickets railings to find the style that aligns with your vision. Additionally, adding pipe railings along the stairs provides extra stability and safety. Check out our website’s DIY installation resources and installation videos, so you can spend more time enjoying your deck rather than finishing it.

3. Wooden Pergola

Larger backyard DIY projects can transform the entire look and feel of your outdoor space, like building a pergola. Pergolas are simple structures, but their architectural appeal has become a staple in modern landscape design. The bare-wood design is aesthetically pleasing and an ideal addition to frame any outdoor patio set. If you’re seeking shade, then covering the pergola with vines will create for a cool, lush environment. To add an element of natural charm hang a bird feeder, outdoor decor, string lights, or flower planters from the wooden beams. 

4. Patio Sectional Couch

The key spending more time outside can be as simple as having snug outdoor seating to accommodate the whole family. Cozy outdoor furniture means you are more likely to stay outside rather than abandoning that hard patio chair for your plush indoor couch. Instead of breaking the bank, make your backyard DIY project building your own outdoor sectional. Check out this DIY guide from Gray House Studio to build a custom sectional, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to get comfortable.

5. Raised Garden Planters

Why bother buying vegetables, when you can walk outside and pick them fresh? With the rise of eco-friendly natural foods, backyard gardens have spiked in popularity. Join the movement without the hassle by building a self-watering planter. Additionally, raised planters don’t require you to bend and strain your back, so you can spend your time appreciating the best part about gardening — the harvesting.

6. Outdoor Movie Theatre

Movie night is a relaxing way to spend an evening, but it can feel like a waste to stay inside on those gorgeous summer nights. An outdoor theatre lets you enjoy the fresh air while watching your film on the big screen. If you want to build an outdoor movie theatre as your backyard DIY project, you don’t need to settle for those ugly inflatable screens or hanging bed sheets. The Horticult has a comprehensive outdoor theatre guide to creating a movie screen that is functional and looks good. With the sunset as your backdrop, you’ll create a movie night to remember.

You can also inspire relaxation with soft lighting and wind chimes.
