Create a Kid-Friendly Deck or Patio with Outdoor Children's Furniture

The countdown has started to the end of the school year. Before you know it the kids will be home and your daily routine will be completely reinvented yet again. Get ready to have kids home all day, every day, by taking a few easy steps to create a kid-friendly deck or patio. Kids love spending time outdoors and when outdoor spaces are designed for them, getting them outside and exercising is easier than ever. You will love the umbrellas, outdoor children’s furniture, and ideas we are going to share today.

Consider Their Favorite Activities

Take a moment to think about your child or children. What do they enjoy doing? How do they like to spend their time? If you have a budding soccer star, consider adding a net to the back of the yard. If you have toddlers running around, a water table or sandbox may be a better investment. Add one thing to your yard for each of your children.

Kid-Sized Seating

Make your kids feel like your deck and patio are meant for them by adding kid-sized seating that has been specifically chosen just for them. Uwharrie and All Things Cedar have created outdoor furniture that matches their adult line perfectly but which comes in a smaller size ideal for your children. Imagine these chairs lined up, right along with yours, on your front porch or back deck.

Shady Areas

The summer heat can be brutal. Protect your children from the intense heat of the sun with plenty of sunscreen and some well-placed shade. Patio umbrellas are a great place to get shade virtually anywhere you want. Cantilever umbrellas can easily be placed over a sandbox or playhouse area. When you decide to dine outdoors, simply move it to cover your table and chairs.
