Stress Busters: 10 Ways to Add Some Chill to Your Backyard

Wound tight and yearning for a place to relax and unwind? There’s nothing like the great outdoors to lift your spirits and loosen your muscles. It’s time to grab a cold, frosty beverage, and dip your toes into one of these 10 outdoor spaces perfectly designed to melt the stress away….

1. Take a Snooze.
   Lie back and indulge in the outdoors atop a cushy outdoor daybed or sofa, quickly engaging the motorized screens or curtains of your adjustable pergola to block out the glare of the sun or provide a bit of privacy.
2. Enjoy a Glass of Wine on Your Private Bistro.
   Put your feet up, sitting side-by-side with your favorite red, enjoying a quiet dinner al fresco no matter the weather, quickly adjusting your Arcadia aluminum pergola to block the rain or sun on-demand via convenient remote control or iLouver app adjustment.
3. Let it All Hang Out.
   Take a 3-hour tour of the back of your eyelids in a classic hammock, opening the louvers of your adjustable pergola to bask in the warmth of the sun on a cool winter’s day, or closing them and engaging the fan on a warm summer’s day.
4. Rock-a-Bye.
   Let loose your inner child, rocking the stress away on an outdoor hanging chair with a stand.
5. Sink into a Good Book.
   Create a private reading nook in a corner of your patio or garden space, whiling your worries away with a good book.
6. Escape to a Tropical Paradise.
   Create a tropical hideaway in the comfort of your own backyard, encircling your oasis with lush tropical foliage and a soothing water feature perfect for drowning out city noise and relaxing. Kick back in your favorite hammock, chaise, or swing, surrounding yourself with the bright, bold patterns and prints of the tropics.
7. Lift Your Spirits.
   Even the tiniest urban space can be transformed into a lush, green respite with right combination of container planters for privacy and noise control, living wall system, and small, comfortable furnishings.
8. Slip Away to Your Secret Garden.
   Create a secret garden in a private corner of your yard, screening it off with native grasses and lush, flowering bushes for ambiance. Tiptoe away for a solo retreat, closing yourself away behind the privacy curtains of your pergola whenever you need to get away.  
9. Immerse Yourself in the Relaxation of an Outdoor Bath.
   Grab your favorite beverage and let the bubbles take you away…. or indulge in the cool summer breeze, taking in the warmth of the sun beneath the privacy of your pergola.
10. Kick-Back Poolside.
    Dos cervezas por favor. Lounge poolside, soaking up the sun or kicking back in the shade beneath the fan of your Arcadia adjustable aluminum pergola, adjusting settings with the push of a button.
