As you work on the look of your patio or deck area, what are you missing? You may have forgotten to bring some of the yard a little closer to you. Often when we build patios and decks, all the green goes away to create a new ground of concrete, tile or wood. But isn’t the green in the yard the reason you were coming out here in the first place? While we are not advising letting vines and plants take over your patio or deck, it wouldn’t hurt to let them accent the outdoor area.

It’s simple to keep plants on your deck or patio, and under control, using teak planters. And even though you hadn’t thought of this before, you can look like it was your plan all along, by getting planters that match the rest of your outdoor furniture.

Everything was great until probably the first week of June when we suddenly were hit with a heat wave. No problem, I thought. I just brewed up a fresh batch of iced tea and brought it outside to settle in for a lazy afternoon on the patio.

Well, that lasted about five minutes. Because if I would have stayed out there any longer, I would’ve gone blind from the sun in my eyes, turned red as a lobster, or lost about 10 pounds from all the sweating I was going to be doing.

And it’s not that we live in a hot climate. We’re in a very temperate region that really only gets extremely hot for maybe a couple weeks out of the year. But there’s something about being out on an exposed patio or deck that really just makes it impossible unless you have a good patio canopy to protect you.

Now, it may seem that the answer is really easy. Just get out there and research patio canopies, find the one that’s the best, hold out for a good deal, and then pull the trigger and get the darn thing installed.

Problem is, it’s a little bit harder than that to choose among the offerings. And that’s what this article is all about.

I did a lot of research into this, and believe me, researching patio canopies is not as easy as it sounds (or as fun). I’m going to get to the very best resource for choosing patio canopies in just one minute, but first let me just give you a little tip.

When you’re considering patio canopies for your home, you should know that they’re not all created equal, and that one of the things you really have to consider is what the canopy is made out of.

For container gardening to add to the value of your home and contribute to overall home improvement, it’s important to keep plants watered. If your deck or patio gets lots of sunlight, you’ll need to water more often. If the weather is humid, plants will need even more water. You can position them around the edge of your patio or deck so a sprinkler system contributes to the water they receive.

Closed Sides – Take those same wood pieces and move them snugly together. Now you have closed sides teak planters. These can still offer a more rustic look, or match a paneled table set, but also give you the security that they will hold the dirt and plant in.

Solid Sides – For a classier set of teak planters you may want to look at the completely solid pieces. These have full solid sides that can range from simple with a small amount of accent, to carved and etched pieces that, in themselves, are a work of art.
