Western Outdoor Living Showcases Colorado Springs Patio Furniture and Low-Maintenance Outdoor Patio Furniture Alongside Colorado Springs Barbecue Grills & Fire Pits

LogoThe Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store has a wide selection of Colorado Springs patio furniture to transform an exterior living space into a modern and functional area for relaxation or entertaining. In addition to patios and decks, patio furniture can be a stylish addition to a porch in front of the house, a balcony outside an apartment, beside a pool, inside a sunroom or conservatory, or on a rooftop. Outside of the home, Colorado outdoor furniture can also provide a relaxing rest area for employees to enjoy on a break at their business location. Primary considerations when selecting a patio furniture set include whether the patio furniture will be outside year-round and also how much maintenance will be required to keep the tables and chairs in good condition. Some materials commonly used to manufacture patio furniture require very little ongoing maintenance. Wrought iron is a good example, requiring no more than a wipe-down with a soapy cloth if it gets dirty. Any scratches or damage to the state-of-the-art powder coat finish can be covered up with touch-up paint. It is important to do this quickly following any damage so corrosion is avoided. Western Outdoor Living, premier patio furniture experts based in Colorado Springs, sell touch-up paint to match all original manufacturer's stock that they sell. They have a section on their website to provide helpful tips on how to care for and maintain patio furniture to improve the appearance of the furniture as well as its longevity. Another tip relating to wrought iron patio furniture is to never apply wax to textured finishes, however, it is worth noting that the gloss on non-textured finishes can be maintained and showcased by applying a layer of fine automotive wax. Other materials may require regular maintenance in order to protect their appearance and their condition. Natural stone table tops for instance are porous and it is recommended they are sealed twice a year with a stone sealer. As Colorado's climate can lead to rapid freezing and thawing during the winter months, and because the temperatures can drop well below freezing, natural stone table tops cannot remain outdoors year-round, and storing them in an outdoor area with no additional heat source, such as a garage, will not prevent potential splitting and damage to the table top as temperatures change. Without appropriate care, the patio furniture may be compromised, so an assessment should be made before purchasing to decide if there is a storage solution available for particular patio furniture items that must be brought indoors and protected from wintertime temperature fluctuations. When planning a patio makeover, it can be useful to visit a showroom with other patio accessories displayed alongside the furniture. This helps to visualize how different colors and textures will look together, as well as relative sizes and dimensions which will occupy space in the outdoor area. The Western Outdoor Living showroom in Colorado Springs brings all elements together in one place for convenience and a superior shopping experience.

Backyard Putting Greens with Synthetic Putting Green Turf Are Tailored by Back Nine Greens, Experts in Backyard Golf Greens, Residential & Commercial Artificial Grass

LogoBackyard putting greens offer the opportunity to play outside and practice even when there is only limited time. Without a drive to the local golf course or driving range, a home putting green is just steps away, perfect for a lunch break, a sunny morning of relaxation, or a friendly challenge with friends at the weekend. A golf green or synthetic turf putting green made from high-quality artificial grass has several advantages, perhaps the most obvious being the low maintenance required to keep the area pristine and attractive. The time saved in not having to mow the lawn, trim the edges, weed the grass, apply products like fertilizers, and manage an irrigation system, could be used instead to perfect the putts on the green. Back Nine Greens, premier designers and installers of all types of residential and commercial artificial grass customize and tailor each project to best suit the vision of the client and the unique space being transformed. Homeowners who want to keep particular elements of their existing landscaping can integrate them into the design, and new features like rockeries or a water feature can be introduced. Earthmovers can be brought in to add a gradient to the course which could serve a dual purpose of increasing the difficulty of the hole while aiding in drainage following a rain shower.

Synthetic Putting Green Turf Is Designed and Crafted by Back Nine Greens, Specialists in Backyard Golf Greens and Low-Maintenance Artificial Grass for Putting Greens

LogoSynthetic putting green turf from Back Nine Greens is designed to be durable and practical, looking pristine year-round at the same time as being low-maintenance and well-drained. Natural elements from an existing backyard design can be seamlessly integrated into a project design, with some features such as waterfalls, ponds, or rockeries becoming new hazards to be avoided when playing on the finished backyard putting greens. For golf lovers who enjoy taking every opportunity to pick up their clubs and play, traveling to and from a golfing facility can be an overhead both in terms of gas costs and perhaps more importantly, time. Creating a home putting green or series of golf greens in the backyard space of a property negates the need to travel to another facility, and it allows the homeowner to truly personalize a golfing experience that harnesses the parts of the game that they particularly enjoy or find a challenge and want to improve at. From beginners to golf enthusiasts on the professional competitive circuit, artificial putting greens offer the opportunity to practice alone or invite family and friends over for fun relaxing outside while trying to beat a personal best or maybe just beat that day's challenger.

Western Outdoor Living Showcases Colorado Springs Patio Furniture and Durable Outdoor Patio Furniture Alongside Colorado Springs Barbecue Grills & Fire Pits

LogoWhen purchasing Colorado outdoor furniture, there are many factors to consider. The climate across Colorado can be variable and often the temperature fluctuations are extreme and rapid. The downside of this unpredictable climate is that the outdoor furniture needs to be durable and able to withstand the changes, whereas the upside is that even in wintertime, there may be sunshine and temperatures that tempt homeowners to venture outdoors and enjoy some time cooking, entertaining, relaxing, or playing in the back yard. When a home is oriented such that the backyard doesn't receive much sunlight and the patio area may be covered in snow and ice for several months, the other side of the home may have a sunnier aspect. In these circumstances, homeowners may choose to add outdoor furniture and patio accessories to a porch or balcony area. Where a home does have more than one space for outdoor patio furniture, it offers an opportunity to mix or match styles. An example would be situating a traditional patio furniture set in the backyard, something similar to the timeless elegance of a wrought iron patio furniture set of chairs and a table, contrasting with a more contemporary bistro set or smaller sectionals on a front porch. The Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs outdoor patio furniture store has a wide selection of Colorado Springs patio furniture as well as patio accessories and appliances such as built-in barbecue grills and outdoor fire pits. When looking to stay within a particular budget, it can help to shop for all items on a patio makeover wishlist in one place, with staff on hand to advise which product lines are best suited to a unique location. One consideration is the longevity of the products, and certain materials are better suited to high-traffic areas such as recreational spaces in a business setting. Some designs of patio furniture can be refreshed and updated in appearance by relatively inexpensive cosmetic changes. Sling furniture is designed with a fabric seat and back on the chairs, and this fabric can be switched out to update the style or match a new color scheme as the seasons change. Wrought iron patio furniture can also be transformed by swapping out the cushions on the chairs, the underlying furniture design remains intact, but the overall impression of the patio set can be changed from subtle to vibrant or vice versa.
