Ways to Extend Being Outside in the Fall

Looking for ways to make the most of your time outdoors as the weather turns cooler? We have some ideas for you!  Take full advantage of all the fall season has to offer with these tips from the outdoor living experts at Denver Pergola Systems. 

Host a Fall Party by the Fire

Invite friends and family to enjoy the crisp fall air. Create a cozy feel with festive gold and orange-toned throw blankets and pillows. Relax around your fire pit, enjoying conversation while indulging in autumn-inspired goodies like spiced cider and pumpkin muffins, or a classic spread of wine and cheese.  

Treat Your Inner Foodie

Break out the patio heaters, treating yourself and your closest friends and family members to an intimate outdoor meal by candlelight or luminary. Create the latest recipe from your favorite cooking show in your outdoor kitchen, or splurge on takeout from your favorite area restaurant. 

Share the Love in Your Outdoor Kitchen

Support your local farmer by visiting an area U-pick farm with friends or family. Take your bounty back to your outdoor kitchen, making an annual event out of turning fall food treatures into cherished treats such as apple jelly, hot cider, and pie. Plan your trip and baking endeavors in advance, ensuring ample canning tools or take-home cookware. 

Reconnect with Your Inner Child

Reconnect with your inner child and your children, enjoying s’mores over top of a small, gas-burning outdoor fire pit. Portable models are affordable and easy to tote in or out of your outdoor living space as weather changes.

Indulge in the Classics

Host holiday-themed movie nights into the winter season, taking out your pop-up screen projector or enjoying your outdoor TV in the dark. Cuddle up and enjoy holiday classics such as Halloween, Dutch, Miracle on 34th Street, or for the man in your life – Die Hard. Don’t forget the snacks!

Enjoy a Good Book

Create a cozy reading space with sheepskins, lush throws, and large pillows, indulging in a hot chocolate and good book by the fire.
