Best Retractable Hose Reel

After a thorough review of the retractable garden hose reel market, we have determined that the best self-winding hose reel is the GARDENA auto rewind garden hose reel. It is expensive, but it is made of top of the line materials, and the overall design overflows with quality. With 85′ of garden hose and a spray nozzle included, GARDENA has thought of everything. The auto rewind mechanism is easily operated and includes a steel retraction spring and water hose guide to prevent kinks and bunch-ups.

PatioZen: Pondless Water Features

Updated: January 18, 2019 Eric Clark

This week’s PatioZen is all about water. In this article, we will look at several different pondless water features for patios and garden areas, and consider how these work in their environment.

Water features provide stimulation to the senses. The sound of the water rushing through the environment, and of course the visual interest the water provides are the most significant sensual impacts of a water feature. But there is also the touch of water mists hitting those around the waterfall, the taste of water, and the smell of the change in moisture levels.

Best Outdoor Daybed

Outdoor Day Beds are perhaps the ideal pieces of patio furniture. They are perfect for lounging around on lazily, or for chatting with friends, or for snuggling with a loved one. There are so many designs out there, with many different configurations and uses! After a thorough examination of the daybed outdoor furniture landscape, we have determined that the best outdoor day bed is the LexMod Taiji Outdoor Wicker Patio Daybed.

The Taiji hits a great price point, with a good size, cool design, and attached table. We strongly encourage you to store the cushions or cover the Taiji outdoor day bed, because the cushions don’t stand up to weather very well, and LexMod does not sell replacements.

As long as you care for the cushions, the Taiji is a great choice for an outdoor daybed.

That would be wrong, or at least simplistic. In this article, we will contrast rattan wicker vs. plastic wicker patio furniture materials, discuss the differences between them, and examine when it is appropriate to use each material.
