Initially, summer cottages were planned as places for country recreation, accessible to all citizens. At some point, the settings got lost and summer cottages turned into vegetable gardens.
Modern summer residents, from time to time, think about rest and even strive to create recreation areas on the site. Here are some budget options.
Furniture on the lawn
A good option, but only for garden furniture. Saving on materials is obvious: no need to build gazebos, fence decks, etc. And garden furniture is quite mobile and can be in another place at any time.
Remains of building materials
The entire Internet community knows what masterpieces summer residents create from wooden pallets. You can use seemingly unnecessary leftovers of building materials in the same way.
Natural decor
You can use vegetation as decoration. You can change the theme composition with each season.
Vintage
Very convenient equipment, especially for a summer house. Everything that does not fit into the interior of a city apartment usually goes to the summer house. Bedside tables and chests of drawers, armchairs and so on - all this can be useful in the garden in the future recreation area.
Awning
Heavy and inconvenient gazebos are clearly inferior to a folding canopy, which can be moved anywhere. A dining area, a play area or a kitchen can be placed under the awning.
Lighting
Garlands add a special coziness to such structures. Without proper lighting, any composition will remain a spontaneous construction. You can use battery-powered products if there is no way to connect electricity to the recreation area. In extreme cases, lanterns and candles will do.
