5 Tips for Entertaining Guests on Your New Patio

Patios offer endless opportunities for entertaining friends, family and neighbours; however, many homeowners shy away from hosting outdoor events during the summer as they can become unbearably hot under the direct exposure of the sun. Our various types of patio awnings offer relief from the sunshine without anyone having to head into the house. To help you enjoy your new space, our outdoor recreation specialists offer these five tips for entertaining guests on your new patio.

1. Decorate

Outdoor events are more special when the outdoor tables, awning and other spaces are decorated for the occasion. Hang some stranded lights, paper lanterns or other festive décor to get people in the mood for a party. Place some fresh flowers and candles on the tables for ambiance.

2. Cook Outside

Take advantage of the new patio by cooking outside. Barbecue grills with all the accoutrements, such as side burners and rotisseries, are a fast and simple way to feed a crowd a satisfying and aromatic meal.

3. Music

Play some music on an MP3 or compact disc player. Your guests will enjoy dancing on the newly created surface and gable roof awning that you have at your home.

4. Serve Drinks

Serve tasty and simple drinks for people of all ages to enjoy. Sweetened tea, lemonade, fruit juice, soda and mixed drinks are all appropriate for an outdoor gathering on the newly built outdoor entertainment area. Consider setting up a mixed drink station or even a bar to produce customised concoctions.

5. Seating

Be sure to have plenty of seating for the guests to relax and feel comfortable. Our patios make it easy to arrange all types of chairs and accompanying tables for any type of outdoor gathering.

Entertaining at home is often a time and money saver. You can create the atmosphere that you desire any time you want. By having guests at your home to enjoy your new outdoor living space, everyone will feel as relaxed and comfortable as you do.
