(StatePoint) Just because fall is here doesn’t mean your backyard fun has to end! Fall is the perfect season to breathe in crisp air, sip something warm under the stars, watch an outdoor movie, and make the most of your outdoor setup. With the right tools and a few seasonal upgrades, your backyard can stay the place to be long after Labor Day. Here’s how.
Blow Away the Mess: “Leaf” It to the Pros
Bring the Heat: Stay Toasty on the Patio
Cover Up: Furniture that Survives the Season
Fall weather can be unpredictable, but with water-resistant covers for patio chairs, tables and lounge sets, your stylish setup won’t suffer. Brands like Vailge and Duck Covers make highly rated all-weather options in multiple sizes and styles.
Pool Days Aren’t Over Yet
If you’re one of the lucky ones with a pool, you might be able to stretch swimming season into September, especially with a pool heater. A reliable robotic skimmer like the Bublue BuVortex V5 will spin around your pool, clearing it of fallen leaves, bugs and branches.
Backyard Movie Magic: Outdoor Projectors
Cooler nights are made for blankets, popcorn and movie marathons under the stars. Outdoor projectors turn backyards into a private cinema. One of the best is the Valerion Vision Master Pro 2, which delivers ultra-bright, cinematic 4K laser projection even in ambient light.
Fall Clean-Ups are Easier with the Right Tools
Don’t Let Mishaps and Malfunctions Ruin Your Fall Fun
Outdoor gear works hard all year—but colder weather puts added stress on everything from leaf blowers to lounge chairs. When something breaks, it can be expensive to replace. The good news? Many of these items can be protected. The surprise? Most Americans don’t know it.
An Allstate Protection Plans survey found:
• Only 9% know patio tables can be covered
• Just 7% know about patio chairs and umbrellas
• Only 6% realize lounge chairs qualify
And awareness is also low for leaf blowers (34%), robotic pool cleaners (28%) and patio heaters (22%)
Don’t wait for a breakdown. A protection plan helps keep backyard essentials working longer and saves you from surprise repair costs. Visit www.allstateprotectionplans.com for more fall outdoor living tips.
By performing a few maintenance tasks and protecting your gear, you can stretch backyard season into sweater weather.
