Look for both comfort and convenience when setting up your outdoor space.

1) If you have a view, maximize it.

2) Establish breathing space between yourself

3) Keep the distance to kitchen and bar in mind.

4) Opt for a large table and portable seating you can move around.

5) Consider proximity to sleeping children if evening noise could wake them.
