LogoThe Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store has a wide selection of Colorado Springs patio furniture to transform an exterior living space into a modern and functional area for relaxation or entertaining. In addition to patios and decks, patio furniture can be a stylish addition to a porch in front of the house, a balcony outside an apartment, beside a pool, inside a sunroom or conservatory, or on a rooftop. Outside of the home, Colorado outdoor furniture can also provide a relaxing rest area for employees to enjoy on a break at their business location. Primary considerations when selecting a patio furniture set include whether the patio furniture will be outside year-round and also how much maintenance will be required to keep the tables and chairs in good condition. Some materials commonly used to manufacture patio furniture require very little ongoing maintenance. Wrought iron is a good example, requiring no more than a wipe-down with a soapy cloth if it gets dirty. Any scratches or damage to the state-of-the-art powder coat finish can be covered up with touch-up paint. It is important to do this quickly following any damage so corrosion is avoided. Western Outdoor Living, premier patio furniture experts based in Colorado Springs, sell touch-up paint to match all original manufacturer's stock that they sell. They have a section on their website to provide helpful tips on how to care for and maintain patio furniture to improve the appearance of the furniture as well as its longevity. Another tip relating to wrought iron patio furniture is to never apply wax to textured finishes, however, it is worth noting that the gloss on non-textured finishes can be maintained and showcased by applying a layer of fine automotive wax. Other materials may require regular maintenance in order to protect their appearance and their condition. Natural stone table tops for instance are porous and it is recommended they are sealed twice a year with a stone sealer. As Colorado's climate can lead to rapid freezing and thawing during the winter months, and because the temperatures can drop well below freezing, natural stone table tops cannot remain outdoors year-round, and storing them in an outdoor area with no additional heat source, such as a garage, will not prevent potential splitting and damage to the table top as temperatures change. Without appropriate care, the patio furniture may be compromised, so an assessment should be made before purchasing to decide if there is a storage solution available for particular patio furniture items that must be brought indoors and protected from wintertime temperature fluctuations. When planning a patio makeover, it can be useful to visit a showroom with other patio accessories displayed alongside the furniture. This helps to visualize how different colors and textures will look together, as well as relative sizes and dimensions which will occupy space in the outdoor area. The Western Outdoor Living showroom in Colorado Springs brings all elements together in one place for convenience and a superior shopping experience.

Backyard Putting Greens with Synthetic Putting Green Turf Are Tailored by Back Nine Greens, Experts in Backyard Golf Greens, Residential & Commercial Artificial Grass

LogoBackyard putting greens offer the opportunity to play outside and practice even when there is only limited time. Without a drive to the local golf course or driving range, a home putting green is just steps away, perfect for a lunch break, a sunny morning of relaxation, or a friendly challenge with friends at the weekend. A golf green or synthetic turf putting green made from high-quality artificial grass has several advantages, perhaps the most obvious being the low maintenance required to keep the area pristine and attractive. The time saved in not having to mow the lawn, trim the edges, weed the grass, apply products like fertilizers, and manage an irrigation system, could be used instead to perfect the putts on the green. Back Nine Greens, premier designers and installers of all types of residential and commercial artificial grass customize and tailor each project to best suit the vision of the client and the unique space being transformed. Homeowners who want to keep particular elements of their existing landscaping can integrate them into the design, and new features like rockeries or a water feature can be introduced. Earthmovers can be brought in to add a gradient to the course which could serve a dual purpose of increasing the difficulty of the hole while aiding in drainage following a rain shower.

Synthetic Putting Green Turf Is Designed and Crafted by Back Nine Greens, Specialists in Backyard Golf Greens and Low-Maintenance Artificial Grass for Putting Greens

LogoSynthetic putting green turf from Back Nine Greens is designed to be durable and practical, looking pristine year-round at the same time as being low-maintenance and well-drained. Natural elements from an existing backyard design can be seamlessly integrated into a project design, with some features such as waterfalls, ponds, or rockeries becoming new hazards to be avoided when playing on the finished backyard putting greens. For golf lovers who enjoy taking every opportunity to pick up their clubs and play, traveling to and from a golfing facility can be an overhead both in terms of gas costs and perhaps more importantly, time. Creating a home putting green or series of golf greens in the backyard space of a property negates the need to travel to another facility, and it allows the homeowner to truly personalize a golfing experience that harnesses the parts of the game that they particularly enjoy or find a challenge and want to improve at. From beginners to golf enthusiasts on the professional competitive circuit, artificial putting greens offer the opportunity to practice alone or invite family and friends over for fun relaxing outside while trying to beat a personal best or maybe just beat that day's challenger.

Western Outdoor Living Showcases Colorado Springs Patio Furniture and Durable Outdoor Patio Furniture Alongside Colorado Springs Barbecue Grills & Fire Pits

LogoWhen purchasing Colorado outdoor furniture, there are many factors to consider. The climate across Colorado can be variable and often the temperature fluctuations are extreme and rapid. The downside of this unpredictable climate is that the outdoor furniture needs to be durable and able to withstand the changes, whereas the upside is that even in wintertime, there may be sunshine and temperatures that tempt homeowners to venture outdoors and enjoy some time cooking, entertaining, relaxing, or playing in the back yard. When a home is oriented such that the backyard doesn't receive much sunlight and the patio area may be covered in snow and ice for several months, the other side of the home may have a sunnier aspect. In these circumstances, homeowners may choose to add outdoor furniture and patio accessories to a porch or balcony area. Where a home does have more than one space for outdoor patio furniture, it offers an opportunity to mix or match styles. An example would be situating a traditional patio furniture set in the backyard, something similar to the timeless elegance of a wrought iron patio furniture set of chairs and a table, contrasting with a more contemporary bistro set or smaller sectionals on a front porch. The Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs outdoor patio furniture store has a wide selection of Colorado Springs patio furniture as well as patio accessories and appliances such as built-in barbecue grills and outdoor fire pits. When looking to stay within a particular budget, it can help to shop for all items on a patio makeover wishlist in one place, with staff on hand to advise which product lines are best suited to a unique location. One consideration is the longevity of the products, and certain materials are better suited to high-traffic areas such as recreational spaces in a business setting. Some designs of patio furniture can be refreshed and updated in appearance by relatively inexpensive cosmetic changes. Sling furniture is designed with a fabric seat and back on the chairs, and this fabric can be switched out to update the style or match a new color scheme as the seasons change. Wrought iron patio furniture can also be transformed by swapping out the cushions on the chairs, the underlying furniture design remains intact, but the overall impression of the patio set can be changed from subtle to vibrant or vice versa.

LogoBack Nine Greens consistently seeks to effectively shape the earth to maximize the function and beauty of a unique space.

LogoThe Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store stocks a variety of patio furniture and patio accessories including high-quality durable products that can withstand the challenges of the changeable Colorado climate. With plenty of sunshine throughout the year and large, often rapid, changes in temperature, some materials are better suited than others. One of the first considerations is if the patio furniture will be outdoors year-round. The logistics of moving furniture indoors over the winter include not only being able to physically shift the furniture, which may be challenging but also having a place to store it. Some patio furniture designs may be collapsable or stackable, which could be a benefit when space is limited.

LogoWhen looking to integrate recreational space into a backyard, there are many choices. For some homeowners with young children, they may want a generic area that can suit multiple sports, like a level rectangular section of artificial turf that can be used to practice football, soccer, badminton, lawn tennis, or baseball. Temporary goals and nets can be introduced for a multi-purpose outdoor space. Artificial grass has the advantage of being low-maintenance and well-drained, maximizing the time spent having fun and minimizing the time spent mowing, weeding, trimming, fertilizing, seeding, and irrigating. For some homeowners, all hobbies and sports are not created equal, and their clear favorite is golf. Whereas a tennis court or badminton court are predictable in size and shape with regulations around the height of the net and the areas inside the court, there are no rules when designing backyard putting greens for the landscaped portion of the home's exterior. Part of the challenge and the great opportunity in every project is to take the existing space, incorporate as much or as little as the homeowner would like to retain, and then create an entirely new dedicated space for the favorite hobby. Artificial grass can follow the natural slopes of a yard, or a gradient can be added. Hazards can be few and far between, or strategically placed to present a challenge for even an experienced golfer. In a game where practice and persistence lead to increased confidence and muscle memory, every opportunity to hone golfing skills is a chance to not only have fun but also to see continual improvement and refinement in technique. Back Nine Greens has completed thousands of projects, transforming one unique space at a time into luxury backyards for golfers and homeowners looking for a more general makeover of their space. The high-quality synthetic turf they use looks appealing and pristine year-round, and can potentially add to the resale value of the home. Artificial grass is a popular choice, particularly in areas that are prone to drought, where there is an increased vigilance around how much water is being used. In addition to not having to irrigate the artificial grass, there is also no need to apply chemicals that could run off into the environment. These could include fertilizers or pesticides which are commonly applied to traditional grass lawns.

LogoUpdating Colorado outdoor furniture and patio furniture may seem like a popular springtime project, however, with the fickle Colorado climate, the middle of winter can also have some lovely days that are perfect for outdoor entertaining or relaxing in the sunshine. With the styles of patio furniture being so varied, ranging from sleek and modern to rustic and traditional, today's designs fit just as well in a sunroom or a conservatory, a porch, or a balcony. The Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store showcases choices for almost any unique space, with different materials, configurations, colors, weights, and price points. Finding the perfect patio set may seem a daunting task although there are a few expectations that most homebuyers have high on their list. First of all is value for money, when investing in new furniture there is an expectation that it will be durable and will remain functional and attractive over a number of years. This leads homeowners to look for a patio furniture set that is high quality and has been manufactured or crafted from the best materials. Woven patio furniture is a popular choice for traditional patios and is also a good candidate for a patio, porch, or balcony which is a less conventional space, perhaps being long and narrow, or perhaps forming a 'L' shape. The reason woven patio furniture is particularly suited to those types of spaces is that it is often modular in design, where pieces can be aligned in varying configurations. Woven Colorado Springs patio furniture from Western Outdoor Living is made out of either maintenance-free resin or aluminum. A representative from Western Outdoor Living states: "The woven furniture that we sell is made from only the highest quality man-made fibers. Soft to the touch, this remarkable material has many benefits including high suppleness, tear resistance, and high ultraviolet light resistance. The polyethylene-based, extruded wicker is also completely weatherproof, insensitive to differences in temperature, and extremely hard-wearing. Our woven furniture uses a more textured, thicker type of wicker than other manufacturers. Although this wicker is more difficult to weave, it is stronger, and more resistant to tension, tearing, and splitting. It also wears better and gives a more natural feel. This woven furniture is 100% hand woven, making each item as individual as the person who wove it ".

LogoWhen looking to purchase Colorado outdoor furniture, there are many considerations. Perhaps first and foremost is comfort, with the patio area often being seen as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of a busy work week, a place to relax and wind down. The design and style of the patio furniture is also a primary concern, with homeowners looking to evoke a particular ambiance that may mimic the style inside the home or totally contrast. For some, a minimalist and contemporary design such as the clean lines of a wooden patio furniture set, may fit in well with the landscaped portion of their garden. For others, the rustic and decorative lines of a wrought iron patio set may be ideal. Another consideration is budget, being able to purchase a piece or a set of patio furniture that will last several years and is seen as good value for money. The Western Outdoor Living Colorado Springs patio furniture store has a wide variety of outdoor patio furniture in many styles and materials including woven, wrought iron, aluminum, wood, and sling. In addition to the patio, homeowners often look to buy outdoor furniture for a smaller custom space such as a porch or a balcony area. When space is limited, a smaller set of furniture such as a bistro set is a popular choice, typically comprised of a small table with a circular top and two chairs. One of the appealing features of a small set like this is that the cushions can be swapped out at a relatively low cost when a new look is preferred, for instance, switching to golden or tan shades of cushions as the seasons change to fall and switching back out to more vibrant colors for the spring and the summer. Colorado Springs patio furniture from Western Outdoor Living provides the high-quality finishes and flexibility in design that homeowners look for to enhance their own personal outdoor living space. With the largest selection of in-stock premium patio furniture in the Colorado Springs area, their team can help advise which designs and styles may be best suited to a unique space. If the new patio furniture is part of a wider project to update the entire backyard space, then their showroom and website have inspiration for other premium patio products such as barbecue grills and outdoor fire pits. Where a built-in barbecue grill is being designed and installed, the team at Western Outdoor Living can help design the entire outdoor kitchen area. Practicality as well as design features should be considered, with safety and versatility being considered, as well as possible changes to the resale value of the home.

LogoAs the seasons change through the year, there can be different challenges when maintaining a backyard recreational space which includes putting greens, chipping greens, or golf greens. Summer brings a challenge with irrigation, particularly in areas that are prone to drought, as well as weeds, rapidly growing grass, and perhaps unwanted guests in the form of insects.
