All I need is a soft-serve margarita so I can feel like I'm at the beach down in Copacabana.

It also has built-in benches and cup holders so you can lounge comfortably with your favorite drink close by!

Promising review: "This pool has been a great summertime addition to beat the Texas heat! My daughter, husband, and I are enjoying it so much! It’s a pretty good size, easy to set up, and, so far, is holding up pretty well! I did purchase a couple of additional items to keep the water/ pool clean and covered. I was quite skeptical at first, as we had already purchased another pool this summer that didn’t last, but this pool was it! If you’re looking for something to relax in and cool off, go for it!" —Pineapple_Beauty94

Promising review: "My 2-year-old and 10-year-old kids and 32-year-old husband love it. Super easy to put together. Great for an easy cool-down in the back for those without a pool. Florida living here, so water is a must in summer. Has held up very well in terms of durability. Left it out for a few days, and it still worked great." —Deja T.

This weatherproof fan has a fully sealed and permanently lubricated industrial motor to protect it against wetness.

Promising review: "Great fan at a good price! I bought this fan for my backyard to help circulate the air on hot days and to help deter mosquitoes at night around the firepit. This fan worked perfectly. It has three speeds, the highest of which is super strong. The fan at high speed is a bit noisy, but nothing unexpected for a powerful fan. It is also 100% waterproof, which is a must. My only minor issues would be 1) it would be nice if the fan came with a cover for when it’s not used (I bought 20-inch tire storage covers to do the job), and 2) the fan is only adjustable up and down, not side to side — if they could make it oscillate, that would be great. Having said that, I would recommend this fan for sure and would not hesitate to buy it again." —Bigdad

You get about 18 hours of playtime on a full charge, and if you're just using the torchlight, it’ll last a whole week! You can recharge them with a USB cable in 4-5 hours. Plus, they can connect to your device in just three seconds, even from 100 feet away.

Promising review: "I needed waterproof speakers that could sit outside, and I’m so glad I found these. They give off a nice ambiance when sitting out back, and the sound is loud but not too loud to disturb neighbors. Bluetooth connection is easy. So far so good, and I’m satisfied with the purchase." —applefir

This net measures 10 x 10 feet. But if you need to cover a larger space, you can link up to three nets together!

With the timer function, the lights stay on for six hours and automatically turn off for 18 hours. 

Promising reviews: "These lights look beautiful in our gazebo. It feels like you are looking up at the stars. I definitely recommend these!!!" —Martha Guerra

"Perfect upgrade for your deck. Transforms the atmosphere into something enjoyable. The result is a constellation of warm stars, evenly spaced, that do not distract. Instead, they direct your attention to your beautiful deck and your guests and so on." —sharpShopper654

You can use this fast-drying paint on almost any surface, including wood, metal, plastic, and masonry.

Promising review: "I recently tried this spray paint, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. Not only did the paint cover flawlessly on a variety of surfaces, but the color options were absolutely stunning. The dry time was quick, and the finish was smooth and professional-looking. I especially appreciated the paint's durability — it held up well against everyday wear and tear. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile paint option. You won't be disappointed!" —BestBuys

Promising review: "I bought this screen to watch movies outside on my deck. It was easy to assemble, so easy I didn’t even need to look at the directions. I assembled it by myself. It came with bags to fill with sand to place on the base of each leg, but I ended up using large bags of rice I had instead and it worked fine. It also came with strings to secure each end in case of wind, which I did and it was a breezy day and it held up great." —Sfat

Plus, when you flip back over, there's a pillow that covers the hole to keep your head comfortable. 

Promising review: "This is typically more than I would have spent on a lounge chair, but after seeing it on TikTok, I had to buy one!! The arm and face hole make tanning the backside so easy and comfortable!" —Keely Shay

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in 12 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "We moved from New Hampshire to Florida a year and a half ago. I knew Florida was hot, but…I bought this so I could sit out on the lanai on the hottest of days (95+), and it did the trick! It provides a nice light mist that you can move in any direction. It’s a nice weight, so it doesn’t move. It obviously cannot replace a swimming pool, but it will keep you cool. My dog likes the light mist and has even fallen asleep while being sprayed! An easy alternative until we get a pool! Buy it, you won’t regret it!" —Patricia Harty

Promising review: "Definitely a good buy! I love the portability and the storage shelf! The easy-on/off covering provides an air of privacy. It sets up easily and holds its own! A very versatile year-round serving & entertaining tool! I love the carry case that comes with it!" —PJ

Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "This machine is fantastic. Took me a bit to figure out, but now it’s simple and so much fun. Definitely get extra pints and have some ready! The first use we had an ice cream party with the great grandparents and everyone loved it, got to customize their ice creams, and now when my son sees me start up the machine, he calls up his grandparents and they come running. Definitely a really great tool to bring family and friends together. It can be loud, but only for a few minutes, and you know what? It WORKS, unlike certain machines at the French fry place 😂" —Brittany

It can be powered with the included AC adaptor, D batteries (not included), or a power bank (not included).

Promising review: "Fantastic product at so many levels. It is compact and fully functional out of the box. Great for beginners or advanced players, children, or adults. If it only chased the hit balls and reloaded them, it would be perfect. Kids play for hours, and it challenges adult skills and mobility when in the rotate mode." —BobW

Promising review: "I must say, I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased this, but after setting it up, I was absolutely amazed. I hooked it up just outside the back door at our main house, and I have incredible service in the garage apartment. Can run all computers and TV. It really is a wonderful device and definitely worth the money!" —Texas 

Promising review: "Perfect floating table. We have an above-ground pool without a deck and nowhere really to put our stuff. This is a perfect solution. I put my phone in a dry box and set it on this float. I keep my sunscreen, my waterproof speaker, lip balm, and snacks all in the middle, and then, of course, drinks in the DEEP cup holders, no tipping or spilling! I bought this one because I can put a small umbrella in it and just lean it against the rainbow — it shades my phone and speaker from the sun and keeps my drink in the shade. I love this float! Highly recommend!" —Marshall

Promising review: "My whole family and I recently went to Miami for a quick vacation, and we had a barbecue, so I decided to order this grill for my house to cook on my back porch. One of the best things about this grill is that it’s so easy to move — anyone can move it from one place to another. I cannot wait to use this grill with my family and friends." —NP

Promising review: "These grill lights are exactly what I needed! They light up the area so well. The magnets are strong, and the ability to direct the light where needed is great. The package they came in is perfect to store them in when not in use! I have recommended these to several people who also think they are great. I was worried they would be cheap and maybe not have a lot of magnetic hold to them, but they do!!" —LC

It's also designed with a convenient drain plug for easy cleanup!

Promising review: "I recently purchased this inflatable pool for our backyard, and it’s been a fantastic addition! Setup was quick and easy, and the pool is spacious enough for two kids, and it’s perfect for hot summer days. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create a fun and refreshing outdoor experience!" —Jinyu Guo

By the way, some reviewers say this elevated bed is great for cats, too!

Promising reviews: "I am so happy that I bought this for my pup!! We hang out together outside, and I don't worry about bugs/ants from the ground getting to him. He loves to lie on the hammock, as I call it, and he looks like a king! The other great part was it took NO TOOLS and I had it together under 15 minutes (and I'm not the savviest)." —Mary

"Perfect size and great quality. Use it every day, even on the beach. Highly recommend and easy to put together." —Bruna A.

It's designed for ages 3+. For setup, you'll need two mature trees or pillars that are spaced 39 to 42 feet apart.

Promising review: "I really can't say enough good things about this obstacle course I purchased for my five children. It was so much easier to install than I had originally thought it would be. It came with detailed instructions and pictures that made me feel confident in getting it set up. It's a double-line design course, and it has two 50-foot slacklines and comes with 10 different attachments. So there are really endless possibilities when it comes to all the different variations and ways it can be set up and played with, including taking off all the attachments, leaving just the slackline to walk, and practicing your balance from one side all the way across to the other side, which is one of the activities my kids really enjoy doing. It's actually very good for strengthening your core, so your kids are getting some exercise without even knowing it. Not to mention it's done wonders for getting their heads out of their video games and getting them up and outside using their imaginations and having fun!" —•••BaRBiE•••

Get it from Amazon for $149.98+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Easy to blow up with a simple air pump. I originally purchased it just for me so I could lounge in the pool, but my kiddos and hubby use it often as well, so we have to take turns! It's the perfect size for a teen to adult-sized person....the hole is a bit too large for a younger child. Very comfortable. Relax and float your cares away on a summer afternoon. Also, the ball (avocado pit) is a cute addition to have in the pool and toss around for some extra fun!" —JMDaniels

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two sizes and as a seashell). 

Promising review: "I’ve been meaning to get something like this for years. Our patio has no cover at all, especially in early spring when the leaves aren’t back. The sun is unbearable at times. We bought the install kit and used it to attach the two sides to the house and used a ratchet strap to attach the other end to a tree on the other side of the patio. So far, it’s holding up well. We added lights, which make it super cozy at night and completely change the feel of our patio." —Kaitlyn Tugend

It's weather-resistant and has drainage holes at the bottom.

Promising review: "This thing is great and perfect to start off the spring/summer. We dumped a giant bag of ice in there and kept our drinks cold all afternoon. The swivel top is convenient and fun. Love that it’s a table and an aesthetically pleasing cooler." —Shana

An umbrella that's not only sturdy but easy to carry (comes with a backpack carrier), easy to set up, and provides excellent protection from the sun. It’s perfect for casual sunbathing in your backyard or a full day at the beach. Highly recommend!" —Sheila

Promising reviews: "This swing is so worth it! I recently bought my first house and bought this for my nieces/nephews. Not only do the kiddos love it, but so do us adults!!! I’m about 130 pounds and have sat on it with my nieces and swung with no problem. My fiancé and dad have both sat on it as well. It’s very sturdy. Easy to put together. It will keep your household entertained anytime you go outside." —Angelina

"Fun for grownups, too! We purchased this for our little grandchildren to enjoy and then discovered that with the high load capacity, we could swing with them, too! The product is sturdy, easy to assemble, hang, and adjust the lengths of the ropes. It’s a great addition to our front yard and immediately became a neighborhood kid magnet, too! It’s only been up for a couple of weeks, but has enjoyed hours of playtime." —Richard S

Promising review: "Great for my pool area. Pizzas are better made fresh than bought. Fast, easy, and very, very hot! Love the style, and it's easy to use. Very cool for BBQ people. We love it!" —Deanobambeano

Promising review: "Finally, a throne fit for my little royals! This toddler lounge chair has become an instant hit in our household. Its plush cushions provide the perfect cozy spot for my little one to relax, read, or even take a quick nap. The sturdy construction ensures durability, withstanding all the bouncing and playtime antics. Plus, its adorable design adds a touch of charm to any room. A must-have for any pint-sized monarch in training!" —Brittany

Promising review: "This is an amazing hammock! The bright colors, the sturdiness and the very easy setup. It took my sister-in-law and me about five minutes to set up. I put this hammock in my backyard, had some visitors for a couple of weeks, and they used it very, very regularly, to read, sleep, and just lounge. The only thing that may bother some people is that when lying in it, the sides come over and wrap you like a cocoon. But I love it!!" —Juliet, Florida

You could even color-coordinate the flowers you put inside 🌈. Do note the size before purchasing, as the smaller size (pictured above) is just under 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide. They come in a larger size now, about 6 inches tall and wide!

Promising review: "Lovely colorful flower pots. Perfect size to hold a single flower, and they add such a nice pop of color to my yard. Very easy to hang up, no hardware required! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot of cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project." —Maegan

FYI, if you're making s'mores, don't throw these on until *after* you're done cooking with the fire. To get the show started, just add 1–3 of these packets to your fire, and you'll get up to a full hour of colorful flames before the vibrancy fades. You can add additional packets as needed!

Promising review: "These fire color-changing packets are the backyard secret weapon you never knew you needed! These super colorful wonders turn an ordinary fire into a mesmerizing spectacle that lasts about 45 minutes. Throw in two or three at a time, and you've got a backyard rave that even Mother Nature would RSVP to. A simple yet enchanting way to add a pop of color to your outdoor gatherings!" —Matt Peterson

Promising review: "Claiming back my backyard!!! I'm typically horrible at leaving reviews, but this one deserved it!! I couldn't enjoy the beautiful Arizona evenings due to the number of mosquitoes and bugs that would attack me. This thing is a lifesaver!! I can enjoy my backyard again. Not ONE bite from those suckers. The sound of them crackling is music to my ears!!!" —Graselda Khouri
