Reddit mentions: The best patio seating products

I would consider something like this PODillow Face Down Beach Pillow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPG7B3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3eBpzbEC1YBE6

I've purchased a number of used massage tables over the years. One is a $600 table that I found at a pawn shop for $80. So, I get that you're just looking for a way to make your recipient more comfortable without making any major investments - a used massage table can be surprisingly affordable, more comfortable for your recipient and far more comfortable for you as you can set it to a height that allows you to stand and lean comfortably without overworking your back, legs or shoulders. Good luck!

Pretty happy with my portable lawn chair. There's a cupholder attachment that clamps to it and works out really well. I am the envy of all my friends. I keep telling them it's the best $40 I ever spent (the link has two, which I recommend if you cohabitate,) but so far none have pulled the trigger. Which is fine. I enjoy my luxury and comfort and they can all sit in the grass or on their plebeian folders. :)

Then you shouldn't have any problems. You will have to hire an electrician to tie the system into the grid, but you can do most of the mounting yourself or hire a handyman/contractor. These systems have gotten very popular and they come with everything. Back in the late nineties, when I was selling off-grid solar, they were just starting to come out with grid tie-in kits, and they were like 20K. I just found this one on Amazon, that looks good for 5K. edit: a lot of the comments on this thread make solar sound like rocket science, and that you need a special kind of expert to do the install. It is my experience that most decent electricians should be able to hook you up with an install, especially if you buy a kit. It's not rocket science.

Following your formatting lol

⚡️🌲 hmmmm tape, scissors, maybe a marker (to mark what cup is yours). The bigger problem IMO is forgetting “obvious” stuff. My first year, I forgot a toothbrush. This year, my friend forgot a pillow. I have a google doc that I maintain throughout the year. As I remember stuff I should bring, I add it to the list. You’re a lot less likely to forget something if you’ve been compiling the list for months.

⚡️🌲 a super comfy bed setup. I have a queen sized air bed cot and I always bring lots of blankets and pillows. Invest in a comfortable camping chair, not just a $10 Walmart one. You don’t have to splurge, I got a $20 one this summer and it’s 1000% more cozy than the one I had before. Bring lots of string lights (solar ones are great and you don’t have to buy batteries) to put around the campsite so you aren’t fumbling in the dark. Don’t forget a lantern for the table. I like having a camping rug/mat for under the canopy so the campsite isn’t muddy/dirty. Also, this is a game changer.

⚡️🌲 Not a solar charger but this is the battery pack I have. Fully charged, it has lasted me throughout every festival I’ve taken it to.

⚡️🌲 2017 I arrived at 9 pm on Wednesday, this year I arrived at noon. I think I had an hour wait this year and about half an hour last year. They’re pretty good at getting you in quickly. I’d say just arrive at the most convenient time for you.

I made this so I could visualize it myself. Simple and minimalist, so it seems fairly low maintenance. I like a black painted wood bench (add some pillows for your style), a black metal end table, and simple decor like potted plants and oversized lanterns. I think the curtain helps close in the area and make it look more cozy. I know this style isn't for everyone and may not exactly match your house exterior, but let me know if you like it :)

One idea I had was to essentially fix a black tarp on the inside, like a big waterproof bag where everything can be stored. That way the rain will drain around it. Unsure how that'll look from the outside but it could be a solid solution.

​

Edit: something like this seems like it might be the best path forward. A same-size bag with a zipper that I can use to waterproof the items inside the storage container.

This is the one we have. It's a reproduction off Amazon. Doesn't look like they have a black option left but when I bought it, it was around $700. It's great quality. Have been pretty happy so far. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8ZM3DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3Rv.ybB2BSZKC

We have a similarly narrow balcony, though not quite as long (about 20 feet), and also south facing. Took forever to figure out what we wanted to do with it as most patio furniture is too wide to allow clearance space. We ended up installing this bar table set in the center:

https://www.amazon.com/MIYU-Furniture-3-piece-Balcony-Bar/dp/B00HY5HYDA

... I can't say enough good things about this set. It's quite heavy and you anchor it on to the balcony railings. We get a ton of wind as our condo is on the top floor. This set does not budge. It also hasn't rusted or anything and still looks as good as new. The stools tuck underneath when not in use and there's plenty of clearance for people to walk behind. If our balcony was longer like yours, we might've installed multiple sets.

Then on the ends of the balcony we got two large Huron chairs with footrests from West Elm:
https://www.westelm.com/products/huron-chair-h019/?catalogId=71&sku=5683420&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Outdoor%20%3E%20Outdoor%20Lounge%20Furniture%20%3E%20Chairs&na_id=2017031818325831339264129631&kwid=productads-adid^215320075618-device^c-plaid^347330542229-sku^5683420-adType^PLA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6baKjtvk2QIVR7bACh3WkAaREAYYASABEgLW4_D_BwE&cm_ite=[[PLA]%20-%20Good%20Desktop]

Hubby's faces the sunset and mine faces the city view. We put these at the balcony ends as they take up all the 3'11" space and allow no clearance.

Note if you like these chairs, Target and I think some other places offer a much cheaper knock-off of the small version of the West Elm chair. We wanted the larger chairs so we splurged.

Between the pub stools, chairs, and foot rests we can seat 6 people comfortably.

No plants and flowers because we get too much wind for that. To address the sun issue (it's lovely but can get too hot to sit out there) we got some sun umbrellas -- the kind that can attach to the back of a chair and that have articulating arms so you can move them throughout the day as the sun moves. We had looked at other options but this was a simple inexpensive and practical solution. As well as flexible, as we can also attach the umbrellas to the balcony railing if we are sitting at the bar table and want shade there. We can also take them down when the wind is kicking up. And meets HOA requirements (no permanent structures on the decks).

We considered many other options like futons and lounge chairs and bistro sets or a hammock (HOA wouldn't allow that) but ultimately the 3'11" width was the challenge. Measure everything you are considering and think hard about clearance space.

The perfect bed? A porch swing bed. This would be HEAVEN to sleep outside listening to rain or feeling the sunshine on me.

Bedtime snacks you say? I may be weird, but my all time favorite snack before bed is a bowl of cereal..

I have wayyy too many PJ sets. I found some amazingly cute tea themed pajamas.

I may be 25 but darkness at night can be creepy! This lantern nightlight would do just the trick.

Maybe a weird choice, but a Taggies blanket. My cousin's baby was very texture oriented and would rub a blanket or toy until she fell asleep. If she didn't like the texture, she'd keep crying. We got her a Taggie blanket and she always rubbed it as she fell asleep.

This stuffed elephant looks so soft!

She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread

No need to pay $100 for Cabela’s to slap their name on it. You can get zero gravity chairs way cheaper on amazon.

My friends have the set listed above and they are pretty comfortable and easy to adjust. We have a different set, but I can’t find a link for them.


I definitely recommend using zero gravity chairs while camping. They are so comfortable. You need to get ones with the clip on table (or order the table separately).

Just bought basically the same ones and added tray tables with cupholders.

They are quite sturdy. I don't think they are really FOR LIFE per say, but they are of good quality and I would expect them to last quite a few seasons, especially if they are brought inside or stored in a shed/garage.

I highly recommend them. I have enjoyed quite a few cigars and whiskeys in those chairs.

No, mine is not sitting on the floor, as it causes the problem you described. To get this scenario to work properly, you need to place the water sensor on something that makes the water pool up under the sensor, but also continually drains the water from under it at the same time. Mine is sitting on a bath stool like similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/WELLAND-2-Tier-Corner-Shelf-Bath-Storage/dp/B01DP5PHFY/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1551008336&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=teakwood%2Bshower%2Bbench&th=1

So, when I turn the shower on, it takes between 10 seconds and 1 minutes for the water to pool up under the sensor. It usually happens around the 20 second mark. As the shower keeps running, the water keeps pooling up under the sensor keeping it wet. When the shower is turned off, then the water drains through the wood itself, and through the slats on the bench, causing the contacts under the water sensor to dry. In my scenario, it takes between 30 seconds to 3 minutes for this to happen, depending on how long I take a shower. I've been using it like this since last decemeber and it's 100% reliable. So, place the water sensor on something else that forces the water to continually drain from under it. I have also experimented with placing the sensor in a plastic dish, that I poked holes into, which also makes the water continually drain as well, and that also works.

I also use the water sensor to turn keep the lights in the bathroom on at night as well when I take a shower. I have a motion sensor in the bathroom that turns the light on, if it's dark. When I'm in the shower, the motion detector can't pick my motion, as I'm behind a glass door, so the light turns off. So, I added the water sensor to the motion sensor automation such that the light does not turn off until the motion sensor senses no motion and the water senser is dry. The water sensor will also turn on the bathroom light when it gets wet, if for some reason, the motion sensor does not turn it on immediately.

Lastly, the water sensor also turns on my bathroom fan as well, when it gets wet and turn off 2 hours later.

You won't get much ;)

I've done hotels, tents and air mattresses, and cars.

But my favorite is the easiest. A sleeping bag and a zero gravity chair. You will not be more comfortable with such a simple solution. Chairs pack flat, sleeping bag is small and light. And you'll use the chairs all through the comp day and night.

Something like this

I bought a zero gravity chair to use inside for recovery from surgery for a torn hip labrum. We love it so much that we are getting rid of our recliners(which take up too much space in our small house) and replacing them with zero gravity chairs. We can fold them up when we need extra space or take them outside for dual use.

Ooh, I think I'm going to be looking around on Mundo de Unas site for awhile!

As far as Mario stamps go, there's a Mario and Luigi on a Moyou plate. I haven't tried any Moyou plates yet, but I've heard so many good things! There's also a FUN plate somewhere out there that has a bunch of Mario symbols, but I haven't gotten my hands on it.

Justin Bieber is one of the cockiest douchebags to ever rise to fame. obviously.

twinkle lights and lamps are awesome typical dorm room material. Cheap student housing usually has terrible lighting, so definitely alternative sources of lighting. just don't get one of these, EVERYONE on my floor brought one freshman year, they're so ugly!

cute pillows to cover up ugly foutons/hand-me-down couches, maybe some really cool fabric to drape as makeshift curtains? and obviously sheets/bedding that you won't be embarrassed to show someone else! bow-chicka-wow-wow ;)

I am the exact same way. The way I see it, the down-time just makes the freedom all the more satisfying.

PS. I found that being outside helped quite a bit. It was a chore getting to the backyard but I managed to get myself into one of these chairs which let me tilt back and elevate my knee. Highly recommended

Put a patio swing like this on it. They come in different sizes so I'm sure with a bit of research you could find one that fits. Maybe put a decorative outdoor rug underneath it to make it a bit prettier. Then fill the are around it with potted plants and some stepping stones leading to the main walkway.

I had to delete that link cuz it connected Into my actual amazon account lmao hold on let me do it again

carpet looks dope in that room.

Depending on how much room you have, a bench or hope chest with a cushion at the bottom of the bed on top to sit on.


I would consider floating end tables in white and a mounted light source, and thin black framed picture frames with lots of whitespace for the walls.

For bedding I would go with a pattern that picks up on colors in the floor and accent with pillows that have a bit of red in them and finding art that compliments them for the art mentioned above.

It also appears that you have enough wall space to pull something the black tree wall treatment here.

Folding Adirondack chair is best chair for sitting around the fire, assuming he's got room for it.

Also fire ring!

Many versions of switch guards are available, some, like the one pictured require something like a paper clip or pen to actuate, others can be had with a more open design that can be hand actuated but are still partially covered to prevent accidental switching.

I dont know anything about that specific bench, but a long ass google search of over an hour later i have been unable to find any cast iron ones like this. I had hoped to too its beautiful, id kill to have it in my yard.

BUT! I did find more modern bench styles! dont know if thats what you are looking for information wise

For 10 grands you could pay someone to make it for you.

You can track down the specific manufactured of this one and get it shipped.

You can buy a cheaper version on amazon.

Or you can just have a bench and a table, and move them around as needed.
