Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher-end umbrella, but still slightly less expensive than the other big-name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stay standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The company's customer service was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

Promising review: "I have had these outside for almost one year. They stayed up all winter and still work great. Light is a nice, warm color and not blinding, but it still provides enough light to see. Lights came with replacement bulbs, but have not had to replace any yet." —crystal hoke

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight lengths).

Promising review: "Absolutely love this! I set it up on my front porch. When I came out after it was dark, when it had absorbed the sun, it was beautiful, and cast the shapes of hummingbirds on the ground. It’s the perfect size, shape, and brightness. I think it would also look really nice mounted on a stand-out in the garden! I recommend setting it out in an area that gets at least six hours of sun for the best brightness and lasting light at nighttime." —Cassidy Low

Get it from Liberty Trade Co. on Etsy for $101.25 (available in two color combinations and up to five numbers).

Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were woven with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful value for the price, making it more affordable to put up large sections of fencing. They are not completely private, as people have mentioned, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit, but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren S.

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in 24).

Promising review: "This is a great product for any outdoor space. It provides extra privacy whilst adding beauty to my balcony. The fence has been stable, never falling down nor loosening its grip. During rain, I've never had leaves come off/apart. If you're looking to spice up your outdoor area with faux greenery, this product is a great quality fence and highly recommend!" —C.C.

Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant cover.

Promising review: "Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy, especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be of good quality. How to: Place the inflatable inside the cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali g

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in 17 fabric patterns).

Promising review: "I've had these since April 2024, and they are still as bright as the day I got them. They cast the perfect amount of light, bright enough to light up the path and the garden bed around them, but not too bright that it's obnoxious. Every time I pull into my driveway at night and see these lights on, I'm amazed at just how long they've been kicking. I figure even if they burnt out tomorrow, two years is a pretty good run... BUT they seriously show no signs of slowing down. A+ lights. Buy them now!" —Jenn Scott

Promising review: "Very fun for garden decor. Have held up nicely through summer rain storms and continue to shine bright. Worked really well for a garden party." —Melissa 

Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are of very high quality and let in a lot of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog Tailor

There is also a matching curved walkway, if you need one! 

Promising review: "I went back and forth deciding whether I wanted to buy this. I was going to build my own walkway, but the labor involved and the price were more than I wanted to pay. So, this option looked appealing, and some of the reviews were not positive. But I absolutely love this walkway, and I’ve had it for well over a month now. It still looks like I just purchased it. I live in Florida, so the weather is very harsh with heavy rains and extreme heat. This walkway has held up fine." —Jntqnn
