Best Backyard Accessories and Items
1. Orbit 10198 Outdoor Misting Sidewinder 
Need something to beat the summer heat? The Orbit 10198 Outdoor Misting Sidewinder is an excellent way to cool things down in the backyard. The mister easily hooks up to any standard garden hose and one brass and stainless-steel misting nozzle. The price is very affordable for giving your kids a new way to cool off while playing.
The extension can stand on its own, with the flexibility of a garden hose allowing you to spray mist how and where you want. The Orbit mister is super lightweight, weighing under one pound and completely extended reaches 30 inches long. Adjusting the nozzle sees the range on the spray adjust between about 3 feet and 6 feet long.
The Orbit 110198 Outdoor Misting Sidewinder is perfect for other uses besides entertaining the children. It is great for cooling down your patio, giving the dogs relief from the Sun’s overbearing heat, or gently watering a small section of plants. This hose extension is a quick and efficient way to use your garden hose without using too much water.
2. Backyard Expressions Cooler
The Backyard Expressions Cooler is your number one choice for a reliable cooler in the backyard. Available in either brown or rustic, this cooler is both stylish and affordable enough to sit in on your get-togethers and gatherings. The inside is lined with metal and can hold 55 quarts (or over 13 gallons), making the value of the purchase top of the line.
The exterior features a mountain scene on the front of the hand-made board construction that will add a unique sense of charm to your outdoor entertaining whether it be around a fire, a pool, or on the patio.
This cooler clocks in at approximately 31 inches tall and just under 28 inches wide and weighs 35 pounds. An attached bottle opener is included for your convenience and a drain with a threaded cap on the bottom of the cooler allowing you to drain remaining water before cleaning.
If filled with ice and kept away from warm liquids and direct sunlight, the Backyard Expressions Cooler should keep your beverages nice and cold for up to two days. If you need a bunch of beverages and cold snacks to stay cool, give Backyard Expressions a shot.
3. Hammock Sky Brazilian Double Hammock
Are you looking for a relaxing way to get closer to a special someone? Look no further than the Hammock Sky Brazilian Double Hammock. This item comes in three available colors and is woven together with a long-lasting soft fabric. The hammock is made in the style called cocoon of weightlessness.
This style has been handed down for generations by native artisans in Northeastern Brazil and gives the user a euphoric feeling of laying on a soft sponge while providing a safe relaxing experience for both children and pets.
Hammock Sky is confident in the value for the price, saying, “We’ve been selling Hammocks for over a decade. Based on years of accumulated customer feedback, we can confidently say this one has the best quality to price ratio.
Don’t be fooled by cheaper versions which are often undersized and can fall apart with poor stitching and lower quality end-loops. In fact, we offer a LIFETIME WARRANTY. If you aren’t happy, for any reason, at any time in the future, we’ll give you your money back.” The length of the overall hammock reaches 144 inches and the resting area is 98 inches long by 59 inches wide and can also be used inside if you so desire.
4. Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit
The Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit is a reigning Kickstarter success story. Back in its crowdfunding days, it sold over $1.1 million. Measuring at 14 inches tall and 19.5 inches in diameter and weighing only 20 pounds, it is constructed in all stainless steel and has a double wall design that maximizes the airflow and burning processes.
The vent holes near the bottom of the log burning unit work to pull in more air, in turn bringing a stronger flame to the pit while simultaneously channeling warm oxygen up between the walls of the stove and back into the fire. This process of fully feeding the flames leads to less smoke being emitted into the air, and not nearly as many leftover logs because they will be fully used.
The base plate allows a continuous supply of air to reach the fire while allowing the spent ash to fall into the ash pan. This ensures that no wood goes un-burned. Since more oxygen can reach the fuel source, firewood is burned more efficiently than traditional fire pits.
Not only is the Solo Stove efficient with its fuel, but efficient on your body as well. There is no extra assembly required. Just set up the pit under a starry sky with good friends and enjoy your company. For traveling purposes, a black nylon drawstring bag is included which along with the small size makes the Solo Stove a great choice for both your home and for taking to other people’s houses.
5. Ultimate Ears Megablast (Amazon Alexa)
The Ultimate Ears Megablast is a fully waterproof speaker that is perfect for your pool party. The speaker pounds out a full 360° clear sound with heart-pounding bass. The speaker fully supports Amazon Alexa controls, and now has Spotify support as well, so feel free to show off that amazing playlist you have been making to your friends.
The longevity of the speaker is one of the biggest selling points on it. The battery can last up to 12 hours of continuous use and can be fully immersed underwater for up to a minute and a half in case of accidents around the pool. Ultimate Ears also brags about the durability of the speaker, claiming it to be “virtually indestructible.”
The Megablast is compatible with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If at home, connect it to your router and save your phone battery, but while on the go have the freedom to listen to your favorite content. With the Ultimate Ears app, you can also update the speaker with no features that release over time, constantly getting more out of your purchase. The price tag for this speaker is very understandable for the quality you are receiving.
