Hose Bowl: A New Yard Accessory

Would you like to place hose bowl in your garden? Of course they have their place in the world, those hose reels, because they serve a purpose: they keep those unwieldy hoses conveniently wrapper together in one spot. Pretty utilitarian, but they work fairly well. Not very pretty, though, made of durable plastic in colors that could be dubbed Yard Weeds & Blah.

What would you say to a hose holder that is more than utilitarian? One that emphasizes your good taste and complements your attention to detail in your yard – your outdoor living space? Well, we’ve got it. (Drum roll, please.) Introducing the Hose Bowl!

It’s much more than utilitarian, and so much more than just a hose holder. Check this out:

• Hose Bowls look a little like happy donuts: each one is 18” around and 12” deep, with a middle hub to wrap your hose around.

That’s right – they’re not very big. You can almost wrap your arms around one. Now imagine all the convenient places you can set them in your yard.

• Hose Bowls are made of steel and finished with powder coating, a painting process that allows the finish to last nearly forever.

That means no repainting every few years because they can’t take the seasonal changes. Hose Bowls not only keep your hoses but they keep their good looks too!

• You won’t believe this: each beautiful, compact Hose Bowl holds up to 100 feet of your garden hose!

Amazing – almost like they have hidden pockets they tuck all that length into.

• And don’t fret: the drainage holes will get rid of any excess water from the hoses and Mother Nature.

Yes, not just beautiful but smart too! Any excess water from your hose simple drains away. Rain showers aren’t a problem either: after a storm you don’t have to run out to empty the Bowl – you can find something fun to do instead!

BackyardBargain.com carries Hose Bowls in two fashionable finishes, Caramel and Dark Chocolate, so choosing the right one for your yard is easy. Go ahead – use Hose Bowls in your back yard and enjoy the season in style!

Cool Summer Evenings in a Hot Summer – Thanks to Styling Tiki Torches

Want to light up your summer? It’s not too late: you can have the coolest tiki torches for your summer nights!

Yes, really cool, really styling tiki torches. No more bamboo stakes, no more tacky lights  . . . these tiki torches will do more than light up your nights. They’ll transform you yard and summer evenings. Not familiar with today’s tiki torches? Well, let’s introduce you! Here are some questions to get you started.

What colors do you have in your yard?

Let’s re-phrase that: besides green grass and flowers, what colors have you chosen to decorate your yard with? Think about the colors of:

Your house siding

Any fencing, patios and decks

Walkways: concrete, treated wood, bricks, pavers, etc.

Patio and deck furniture

Flower pots, bird feeders, etc.

Do you have a committed color scheme in your yard, or is it anything-goes coloring? Once you know you can begin selecting your new tiki torches. . . yes, they come in great colors now: cobalt blue, bronze, red, black, green, steel, amber, copper, smoked glass, honey brown, ocean blue, clear glass . . . .

What kind of finish do you want?

Great tiki torch colors in a variety of materials: glass, copper, and steel – even a selection of mosaic tiki torches!

Do you have a copper roof or trim? That’s your answer: you’ve got to have matching copper torches!

Lots of stained wood on your deck and porch? No problem – metal tiki torches come in caramel, honey brown, bronze, or an antiqued finish.

For a traditional look you may want black finished tiki torches. For a little different look some black torches have clear glass fuel containers!

Mosaic tiki torches? Yes – and in a variety of colors. Try a mirror mosaic to add sparkle to your night and day!

And of course there are several tiki torches with the cool finishes of pewter, stainless steel and nickel plating.

What size works best in your yard?

Yes, let’s repeat that: what size tiki torch do you want? That means you’re not stuck with just the bamboo stick anymore.

Have you heard about deck torches? At 36 inches tall they attach securely to your deck railing. That means you don’t need grass to set up a tiki torch anymore!

How about a set of garden tiki torches? At 16 and 17 inches high you can light up the garden, all the paths and your yard! This size is perfect around your ponds too.

And a favorite: the table torch. Twelve inches tall and more than big enough to light your gatherings, you can match any table setting with the style and color selections available.

Okay, and yes, the traditional tall staked tiki torch. Because we still love them, and we can pair them with other sizes now. Between 60 and 72 inches tall, they still look fabulous in your yard!

Well, that should give you an idea how far tiki torches have come . . . will they make it to your house this summer?
