There is nothing better than enjoying exquisite food in the beauty of the sunshine. If you want to create the ultimate al fresco dining setup, keep reading this guide to discover how to pull it off. We cover everything from luxe garden furniture to an outdoor pizza oven.<\/p>\n<h2>Create Shade<\/h2>\n<p>Although it can be nice to bask in the sunshine, it is often better to dine in the shade. This allows you and your guests to stay cool while savouring a great meal. If your outdoor space is a sun trap, use a parasol to create shade. A sail shade is also a popular piece of garden d\u00e9cor. This flexible membrane is tensioned at different anchor points around your outdoor space. They provide ample cover so you can enjoy al fresco dining all year round. You can learn how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/how-to-make-your-own-shade-sai-139258\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make a sail shade<\/a> by following an online tutorial.<\/p>\n<h2>Outdoor Pizza Oven<\/h2>\n<p>When we think of al fresco dining in summer, our minds often turn to barbecues. However, to elevate your experience and impress your guests, consider investing in an outdoor pizza oven. This <a href=\"https:\/\/ooni.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gas-powered pizza oven from Ooni<\/a> has it all. Not only can it cook pizzas in just 60 seconds, but it also roasts meats, sears vegetables, and is portable. You can move it around easily, ensuring it becomes a conversation starter.<\/p>\n<h2>Garden Storage<\/h2>\n<p>To create the perfect outdoor kitchen for regular al fresco dining, invest in smart storage solutions. You do not want to keep running back and forth into the house for utensils. Crates and boxes are a good start. Add shelving to your cooking area for easy access to supplies. A kitchen trolley is also invaluable. As most lack an outdoor sink, load your trolley with cleaning items and wheel it indoors. It saves multiple trips.<\/p>\n<h2>Comfortable Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>No al fresco dining setup is complete without comfortable furniture. Ensure enough seats for household members and guests. Plenty of durable, luxurious garden furniture is available. For smaller spaces, opt for stackable options that can be neatly stored. Research some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardeningetc.com\/us\/buying-guides\/best-garden-furniture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best garden furniture<\/a> on the market and elevate your al fresco dining space today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the summer months creep in, we immediately turn our minds to al fresco dining.
