Transform Your Backyard into a Dream Outdoor Living Space
What's Trending? Reimagining Your Outdoor Living Space
Gone are the days when a simple patio set and grill were enough. Today’s outdoor living spaces are all about comfort, style, and functionality think full kitchens with sinks, elegant dining areas, cozy lounge zones with big-screen TVs, surround sound, and mood-setting lighting. It’s like bringing the luxury of a resort right to your own backyard!
And you’re not the only one dreaming big. Just take a stroll through your neighborhood or browse local real estate listings, you’ll see stunning outdoor spaces that are perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories.
From stylish flooring and décor to high-end appliances and lighting, homeowners are taking all the comforts of indoor living and moving them outside. If you're planning your own outdoor oasis, don’t forget one of the most important elements: power. Make sure your space is equipped with the right electrical setup to support everything from your fridge and blender to your entertainment system and lighting. That way, you can enjoy a seamless, stress-free experience every time you step outside.
Make it a Safe and Convenient Space
Start by making sure you have plenty of well-placed Weather-Resistant (WR) GFCI Outlets. Look for the WR symbol on the outlet face to ensure it's rated for outdoor use. These outlets are required by the National Electrical Code® in wet or damp locations like patios, decks, and pool areas because they help protect against dangerous shocks from ground faults. For added convenience, consider a WR USB outlet to safely charge your devices outdoors without needing bulky adapters.
Additionally, all outdoor outlets should be protected from the elements with While-in-Use Covers. These covers serve to protect the outlet, while simultaneously allowing you access to the outlet to plug-in and power lighting, appliances, and equipment.
