Great Summertime Getaways in Your Own Back Yard:\u00a0Discover New Destinations to Unwind \u2014 Without Hitting the Road\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Now that summer is upon us, our natural inclination is to \u201chit\u00a0the road\u201d and make our getaways into the Great Outdoors.\u00a0With higher-than-ever gas prices, however, many of our road\u00a0trip plans have been detoured toward spending time nearer our homes.\u00a0As frustrating as that might be, all is not lost. You may find the perfect\u00a0opportunity to create a private \u201cgetaway\u201d in your own back yard by building\u00a0a project plan. Depending on your needs and the size of your back yard,\u00a0options for what to build are almost endless. Here are some of our\u00a0most popular project plan ideas<\/a><\/strong> to consider:<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>Backyard Bar-B-Q’s Taste Better on a Brand New Deck<\/strong>\u00a0\"90014\"<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you build a deck that’s large or small, simple or extravagant, \u00a0you’ll be adding living space to your\u00a0home that’s both comfortable and\u00a0enjoyable for your friends and family.\u00a0Decks have become the most widely utilized \u201coutdoor rooms,\u201d and you’ll\u00a0be amazed at how often you’ll take advantage of this additional space\u00a0for entertaining or just relaxing at the end of the day. In recent years,\u00a0new technologies have greatly improved building materials, allowing\u00a0anyone to build a truly maintenance-free deck.<\/p>\n

\"90028\"<\/a>Garden Sheds for Green Thumbs and More<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Green thumbs\u2026some of us have them, some of us don’t. Whether or not\u00a0you’re a garden or landscaping aficionado, you’ll never regret having dedicated storage space for the lawnmower,\u00a0wheelbarrow, shovels and hoses- the list goes\u00a0on and on. Backyard shed plans are available\u00a0in a wide variety of styles and sizes that will free up valuable space in the\u00a0garage and will help to keep some of the more messy aspects of yard work\u00a0away from the home. Not into yard work? Consider using a backyard shed\u00a0plan as a craft studio, workshop, or even office space.<\/p>\n

A Touch of Romance for the Backyard.\u00a0\"90043\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>You may never have thought of your backyard as\u00a0being \u201cromantic,\u201d but who could resist the allure of\u00a0a charming arbor swing or quaint gazebo under the stars? Along with a bit\u00a0of creative landscaping – and maybe some night lighting or a bubbling\u00a0fountain – you can create a setting that will feel far, far away from the backyard you used to know. Gazebos, by the way, don’t have to take up a lot of\u00a0space. They range in size from 8′ to 12′ in width, comfortably\u00a0accommodating a couple of chairs or a casual outdoor dining set.<\/p>\n

\"90025\"<\/a>School\u2019s Out\u2026 It\u2019s Time to Play!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Get the kids out of the house, away\u00a0from their game consoles, and into\u00a0an exciting world of imagination and creativity with a playhouse or play\u00a0fort. If you want to build lasting childhood memories for your children\u00a0or grand kids, these are the backyard projects that will never be\u00a0forgotten – and they\u2019re just as fun for adults to build and decorate as they\u00a0are for kids to play in.\u00a0View the entire collection of Garlinghouse project plans at\u00a0www.familyhomeplans.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
