Elevate Your Outdoor Space With These Backyard Upgrades

Enjoying your outdoor space has become more important than ever, whether it’s an urban balcony, suburban deck, or rural backyard. Those lucky enough to have a private outdoor sanctuary often utilized them to responsibly gather with family and friends during the pandemic, and even with travel surging and vaccinations rising, outdoor spaces will continue to be our personal Edens as we head into summer and beyond. 

While HGTV-obsessed homeowners and renters alike have spearheaded the recent exterior design trend of turning backyards into what are essentially fancy living rooms, it’s not all about expensive upgrades like massive weatherproof TVs, designer furniture sets and resort-style climate control systems. Read on for a patio’s worth of quality products that are sure to enhance your everyday outdoor experience.

FINEX CAST IRON SKILLET

Heat up your grilling game with this gorgeous skillet from the cast iron obsessives at Portland, Oregon’s Finex. The heavy-gauge, pre-seasoned skillet features Finex’s signature octagonal shape, coiled stainless steel “Speed Cool” handle and looks just as good on the grill as it does as a serving platter. The skillet is an absolute workhorse for searing steaks, chops, and vegetables, and is smoothly polished enough to cook perfect eggs. (It’s also great for baking mac and cheese, cornbread, pies and cakes.)

The optional lid transforms the skillet into a steaming, simmering and braising machine. Finex’s signature skillet may be their most essential cast iron product, but they also offer grill pans, griddles, Dutch ovens, burger presses and accessories like a chain link scrubber and oak wood scraper cleaning kit to keep cast iron cookware preserved and performing well for decades to come. 12-inch Skillet with lid, $275.
