LogoThe Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store stocks a variety of patio furniture and patio accessories including high-quality durable products that can withstand the challenges of the changeable Colorado climate. With plenty of sunshine throughout the year and large, often rapid, changes in temperature, some materials are better suited than others. One of the first considerations is if the patio furniture will be outdoors year-round. The logistics of moving furniture indoors over the winter include not only being able to physically shift the furniture, which may be challenging but also having a place to store it. Some patio furniture designs may be collapsable or stackable, which could be a benefit when space is limited.

Made in the USA. Is It Always Smart to Buy American Cabinetry?

LogoThe most labor-intensive part of cabinet production is the building, sanding, and finishing of cabinet fronts. For less expensive cabinetry, you simply can't get a well-made product that is 100% built in the US. Labor costs in Asia and Mexico are just too low. Accordingly, some American companies manufacture many of their cabinet parts in other countries, before assembling the cabinetry domestically.

Backyard Putting Greens with Synthetic Putting Green Turf Are Tailored by Back Nine Greens, Specialists in Home Putting Greens & Commercial Artificial Grass Installation

LogoWhen looking to integrate recreational space into a backyard, there are many choices. For some homeowners with young children, they may want a generic area that can suit multiple sports, like a level rectangular section of artificial turf that can be used to practice football, soccer, badminton, lawn tennis, or baseball. Temporary goals and nets can be introduced for a multi-purpose outdoor space. Artificial grass has the advantage of being low-maintenance and well-drained, maximizing the time spent having fun and minimizing the time spent mowing, weeding, trimming, fertilizing, seeding, and irrigating. For some homeowners, all hobbies and sports are not created equal, and their clear favorite is golf. Whereas a tennis court or badminton court are predictable in size and shape with regulations around the height of the net and the areas inside the court, there are no rules when designing backyard putting greens for the landscaped portion of the home's exterior. Part of the challenge and the great opportunity in every project is to take the existing space, incorporate as much or as little as the homeowner would like to retain, and then create an entirely new dedicated space for the favorite hobby. Artificial grass can follow the natural slopes of a yard, or a gradient can be added. Hazards can be few and far between, or strategically placed to present a challenge for even an experienced golfer. In a game where practice and persistence lead to increased confidence and muscle memory, every opportunity to hone golfing skills is a chance to not only have fun but also to see continual improvement and refinement in technique. Back Nine Greens has completed thousands of projects, transforming one unique space at a time into luxury backyards for golfers and homeowners looking for a more general makeover of their space. The high-quality synthetic turf they use looks appealing and pristine year-round, and can potentially add to the resale value of the home. Artificial grass is a popular choice, particularly in areas that are prone to drought, where there is an increased vigilance around how much water is being used. In addition to not having to irrigate the artificial grass, there is also no need to apply chemicals that could run off into the environment. These could include fertilizers or pesticides which are commonly applied to traditional grass lawns.

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

LogoUpdating Colorado outdoor furniture and patio furniture may seem like a popular springtime project, however, with the fickle Colorado climate, the middle of winter can also have some lovely days that are perfect for outdoor entertaining or relaxing in the sunshine. With the styles of patio furniture being so varied, ranging from sleek and modern to rustic and traditional, today's designs fit just as well in a sunroom or a conservatory, a porch, or a balcony. The Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store showcases choices for almost any unique space, with different materials, configurations, colors, weights, and price points. Finding the perfect patio set may seem a daunting task although there are a few expectations that most homebuyers have high on their list. First of all is value for money, when investing in new furniture there is an expectation that it will be durable and will remain functional and attractive over a number of years. This leads homeowners to look for a patio furniture set that is high quality and has been manufactured or crafted from the best materials. Woven patio furniture is a popular choice for traditional patios and is also a good candidate for a patio, porch, or balcony which is a less conventional space, perhaps being long and narrow, or perhaps forming a 'L' shape. The reason woven patio furniture is particularly suited to those types of spaces is that it is often modular in design, where pieces can be aligned in varying configurations. Woven Colorado Springs patio furniture from Western Outdoor Living is made out of either maintenance-free resin or aluminum. A representative from Western Outdoor Living states: "The woven furniture that we sell is made from only the highest quality man-made fibers. Soft to the touch, this remarkable material has many benefits including high suppleness, tear resistance, and high ultraviolet light resistance. The polyethylene-based, extruded wicker is also completely weatherproof, insensitive to differences in temperature, and extremely hard-wearing. Our woven furniture uses a more textured, thicker type of wicker than other manufacturers. Although this wicker is more difficult to weave, it is stronger, and more resistant to tension, tearing, and splitting. It also wears better and gives a more natural feel. This woven furniture is 100% hand woven, making each item as individual as the person who wove it ".
