Cool off with shady outdoor ideas
Add shade and style to your outdoor space with an outdoor canopy. Instead of building to a pricey pergola, use a dropcloth fastened with grommets, wooden poles to hold it up, and tent ties and stakes to make sure it stays in place for a cool cover that you won’t have to commit to once summer has breezed by.
Get your garden party-ready
