Charming outdoor spaces are built around budget friendly garden structures, including benches, pergolas, fences and a canopy. These architectural accents give your yards empty space a focal point and can make a large open space feel intimate.

Picket fences can be used in shorter lengths to create cozy corners for seating or they can be used as walls to designate a garden or dining area.

Pergolas come in ready made freestanding versions and can be placed in a corner to create a separate seating area.

A trellis makes an ideal backdrop for a bench and can be decorated with foliage or left plain for added decor to the outside of your home.

A free-standing canopy creates a sense of a room. All it takes is a level plot for it to stand on and the weather resistant fabric top will blocks the suns harsh rays. Attach a net to go around your canopy, if it doesn't already have one, for some evening enjoyment with friends or a romantic evening with a guest.

Add a few special touches, such as, a rug, some special padded seating, a table and some lighting. Now you have a room outside your home to enjoy.
