2018 Outdoor Living Product Roundup

Oou 318 Aq Tile

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Outdoor living should be a important part of your business. According to the 2017 Houzz Landscape Study, only 6 percent of homeowners (specifically, homeowners who had an outdoor project either planned, in progress or completed) were planning on a pool for the backyard. Compare that to a patio/terrace, which was the most popular outdoor project at 39 percent.

Pool and spa retailers and builders should see a lot of promise in those figures, as they show there’s clearly a large market of homeowners interested in making outdoor living purchases beyond the water.

The other upside: Outdoor living encompasses a vast range of products for budgets of all sizes. While high-end builders may have customers flocking to posh patio furniture and impressive grills, mid-range retailers and builders can turn to pre-finished outdoor kitchens and items like hammocks, which are great for adding revenue while consuming little square footage.

Here, we take a look at just some of the outdoor living products on the market. Take a look β€” you’re sure to find something that will appeal to your customers.
