I am putting in a pool this summer with a patio as well. The patio will most likely be an extension off the house, but not 100% definite on that yet. I want to do it right the first time, so don't want to miss anything in the build. I'm not trying to make it super fancy, but want to get the basics and other nice to haves covered. I already have an outdoor kitchen with grill, sink, fridge, so no need there, and unfortunately I can't add a bathroom for a couple of reasons. So I figure out will be a good sized open space that will have a patio table area and a couch area.
Here is my list so far, please add your thoughts and recommendations!
Here is my list so far, please add your thoughts and recommendations!
- TV
- Fire pit under the patio (space is tight, not sure I can do pit and patio separate and have any grass left for dog)
- Lights (canned lights on ceiling?)
- Fan(s)
- Electrical outlets (maybe for pellet smoker or something)
- A west wall (rather than 4 posts and open, thought about a wall for the TV that blocks the sun so no glare, could also hold towel hooks, etc)
- String light hooks
- Speakers - tied to TV, but also streaming music, etc
