Outdoor Dining Tips

Hosting Thanksgiving this year and in search of some outdoor dining tips? If you live where it's warm enough to entertain on your patio (or you're braving the cooler temps), a couple quick tips to consider: Keep it simple and make a buffet table inside to keep the food warm; Use small side tables for appetizers and desserts; Prep sides and bake desserts a day early; Assign the jobs of greeter and turkey carver to a family member to lessen the pressure in the moments before dinner is served.

Add Magic to Your Patio

Eloquently coined "A Masterpiece" by a Big Kahuna pergola kit customer from Vermont, the freestanding pine pergola shown in their summer build photos reveals the magic they've added to a simple stamped concrete patio. Snippet from their pergola story: "The most surprising thing is that the brand new pergola instantly looked as if it had always been there: a missing piece that now completes the whole.
