“One woman bought a dozen copper planters in different sizes for her outdoor wedding,” said Rajan Shah, BackyardBargain.com’s V.P.Operations. “She used them to hold live gardenias, disposable cameras, even cards on the gift table. And she’s just as excited about using them in her own garden after the wedding because she likes them so much!”

A dozen copper planters may be a few too many for your yard, so BackyardBargain.com recommends starting with one or two planters. If you’re not confident in your decorating skills start by using them as planters. Then, as you enjoy them in your outdoor space, let your imagination go.

BackyardBargain.com’s copper planters are available in three styles: fluted square, round and flared square. The unfinished copper will develop a beautiful patina over time, or can be polished to retain its natural color.

The best part of using copper planters in your landscaping scheme? When the weather turns cold they can huddle beside you inside, still holding your favorite plants, magazines, beverages . . . .

 

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?

 

New Green Bio Fuel for Your Tiki Torches

Eco Friendly Partying? Yes! New Green Bio fuel for Your Tiki Torches!

Have you ever heard of The Purple Skeeter Beater? Well, now that you have heard of it you can consider your world turned upside-down and greener than ever!

BackyardBargains.com and Patriot Bio Products, Inc. have partnered up to give you the best of both worlds: the greatest selection of tiki torches on the planet and a green bio fuel!

Look at these specs:

• 100% recycled material (vegetable oil)
• 100% renewable
• Burns clean, environmentally friendly – no pollution at all
• Contains citronella – lighting and mosquito protection
• Burns twice as long as standard torch fuel
• Won’t harm your grass, flowers or any of your landscaping

Your backyard parties will never be the same, and you can brag to your guests that you’re saving the planet while pouring their lemonade! That’s thanks to The Purple Skeeter Beater, one mean and green product that will change your outdoor enjoyment forever.

Let’s talk about this new and interesting fuel. You may have heard about burning vegetable oil in your car’s diesel engine in place of gas. This is the same thing. That same bio fuel can now be used to fuel your tiki torches thanks to a company called Patriot Bio Products, the company that produces The Purple Skeeter Beater.

The Purple Skeeter Beater burns clean – that means no pollution. Period. Patriot Bio Products manufactures The Purple Skeeter Beater to meet the highest quality standards for recycled bio fuel. No more nasty smell from that wicked black smoke swirling around your tiki torches, and no more wondering where it all ends up.

You know, the US has historically been a leader in energy consumption . . . and, unfortunately, pollution. That’s what we get for being a global manufacturing leader. But we’re changing our tune, and especially our way of making stuff, so our energy footprint is slowly decreasing. If each one of us starts small – like using The Purple Skeeter Beater – we’ll make a difference over time.

It may sound like a small thing, using The Purple Skeeter Beater instead of a non-renewable fuel, but when you add up your small thing to your neighbor’s small thing, and add that sum to your community’s, and then to our global efforts – well, it adds up to a lot. And that’s how we’re going to make a difference, one little thing at a time. But back to The Purple Skeeter Beater –

One of the sweet advantages of using The Purple Skeeter Beater is that it’s totally renewable. That’s 100%, in fact. Because where does vegetable oil come from? You guessed it: vegetables! And every year we grow more and more of them. So it’s not at all like drilling, excavating or mining for non-renewable resources like coal, oil and gas. As long as we’ve got ground to plant in and sunshine and rain to nourish, we’ll always have vegetable oil.

And to add more green to an already-green product: The Purple Skeeter Beater burns twice as long as other fuels – and you know what kind of savings that means! Yessiree, we’re all about g-r-e-e-n energy savings . . . Washington, Lincoln, Jackson….

Another advantage of using The Purple Skeeter Beater is you don’t need any other mosquito repellant techniques and tools hanging around your yard to stumble over. You can throw away those candles, sell the zapper in a yard sale and roll up the netting for good. The Purple Skeeter Beater contains citronella, a widely recognized mosquito repellant, so while you enjoy the warm, islander flames you’ll also be enjoying a mosquito-free environment!

And one more advantage for those who are, uh, “balance” challenged: no more dead spots in your lawn from spilled fuel. The Purple Skeeter Beater is totally safe for all your outdoor greenery. That also means you don’t have to worry if you find a fuel spill in the spring from stored torches – and you don’t have to call the Hazmat team to clean up: The Purple Skeeter Beater cleans up with soap and water. And that’s that. You can’t get a better product from a better company.

BackyardBargains.com has a goal of making your life better by providing quality home and garden accessories at the best prices around. In their search to continually improve their offerings to you, they began a partnership with Patriot Bio Company to provide their customers with the best, safest and most eco-friendly fuel for their tiki torches. Backyard Bargains.com is a perfect fit with Patriot Bio Company.

When it comes to providing a safe, friendly renewable fuel source, Patriot Bio Company is leading the pack. Their goal is to help the US wean itself off foreign oil – and their product The Purple Skeeter Beater is only the beginning. Patriot Bio Company also uses recycled plastic bottles because they believe in saving and protecting what we already have.

The Purple Skeeter Beater and the largest selection of tiki torches anywhere . . . what could be a more perfect match than a partnership between Backyard Bargains.com and Patriot Bio Company? Sort of like when syrup and pancakes first met, don’t you think?

 

Tiki Torches and Whole Outdoor Decor Ideas

Summer will be here before we know it, and we’ll be spending a large amount of time in our outdoor living area or patio. There are many outdoor decor ideas just like outdoor torches, planters, containers, lanterns, aluminum animals and many others.

Copper Planters: Copper planters can transform an uninspiring exterior into a superb wonderland. Turning a patio, terrace or even a deck into a peaceful paradise is made simple. It’s a matter of pooling the appropriate components. When will you think to décor your outdoor area with copper planters so, concentrate on these points. First colors, second plants and foliage, third handcrafted or not last but not in list antique copper planters.

Lanterns: In outdoor decoration and lightning, lanterns are really good way to make your outdoor area impressive. It can really bring exotic feel in combination with the stars in the sky, with everyone looking lovely in moonlight. If you want to enjoy your time outdoors that is even better. Outdoor lanterns can light up your garden, your patio, and your porch with their cozy glow.

Aluminum Animals and Furniture: Aluminum outdoor furniture is beautiful but also long-lasting. Aluminum can stand up to summer and winter conditions. It is even heavy enough to hold up winds that blow and collapse over other patio furniture. Because the furniture is made of aluminum, it will not rust. Most quality aluminum outdoor furniture is powder coated. Powder coating is the technique of applying dry paint to a part that is then placed in an oven. The powder particles melt and coalesce to form a continuous film. These all are related to production of aluminum animals and furniture. Aluminum animals and furniture will put extra glow in your backyard area.

Tiki Torches and Lights: Tiki torches and lights come in a wide variety of types and styles. Simply plug a few of them in around your backyard for the night time look and feel of the tropics. If you really want to bring the tropics to your home then there is nothing better to do this with then a tiki style bar or snack station.

Tiki torches and lights cover a larger area, and can be used especially when you are having guests over for a garden party. Garden tiki torches can be used as accent lights to highlight certain areas of your landscape. These are also available in different shapes, sizes and materials and can add to your property looks.

 

How do I Add Fuel to My Tiki Torch and Safety Instructions

To fill your tiki torch with tiki torch fuel, first unbolt the metal flame guard and wick from the fuel container. Fill fuel container with tiki torches citronella torch fuel only.

Follow the steps that come with your particular tiki torch, or if you don’t have them follow these regular suggestions. Of course, be sure to follow the directions that come with your particular tiki lamp – different tiki torches may have different suggestions as to how to fill them.

1. Do not fill past line marked on bottle.

2. Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other inflammable fuel.

3. Screw flame guard and wick assembly back onto fuel container.

4. Do not over tighten.

5. Place bottle into torch.

Fill up your torch to the fill line (if there is no fill line, be sure to leave at least half an inch between the top of your tiki torch fuel and the top of the lamp). Screw the flame guard and wick back on. The above is just a general suggestion. However, one thing that is important to remember is to only use approved tiki torch fuel in your torches – never use kerosene, gasoline, or any other flammable material (unless recommended by the tiki torch manufacturer).

Tiki Torches Safety instructions:

Keep your fuel supply securely stored. When you’re actively using your tiki torches, fuel and flame will naturally be in close nearness. Absent that, keep flame safely away. Your jug of tiki torch oil should be stored in a cold, dry, well circulate air location. Don’t keep it in your house. Similarly, if you own propane tiki torches keep your extra propane tanks outside, well away from your home and in a fresh or sheltered location.

Always put out your tiki torches when you expect them to be unattended for extended periods. Running inside to take another 6 pack for the cooler is all right. But if you’ve said your farewells to your last guests and are planning to turn in, don’t just leave your torches unattended to flame out. Not only is it a waste of tiki torch oil or propane, but an open and unattended flame is just an open and unattended invitation for tragedy.

Keep a chemical fire extinguisher handy. I consider a fire extinguisher a home safety necessary but it is entirely critical item to have on hand if you entertain with tiki torches. Don’t rely on your faithful hose. Water will only spread tiki torch oil without extinguishing the flame and compound an already terrible condition. A chemical fire extinguisher is the only good alternative.

 

Copper Tiki Torches Creates an Effective and Creative Atmosphere in the Backyard

Today tiki torches are made of almost anything like glass, ceramic, copper, brass, steel, and of course, bamboo. Your outdoor gatherings will never be the same after you set up tiki torches and create some beautiful atmosphere.

Tiki torches are pleasing, but copper tiki torches are more than pleasant, they say style. Copper, in any form, is almost like easily spread a setting sun and holding it forever in an unusual metal. When the fire glints off the copper tiki torches, they become more than just mood illumination, they become the showpiece. It creates an effective and creative atmosphere in the backyard, at the patio and at the entrance, the entire year round.

These torches aren’t turn off because of windy conditions, nor do they cause glowing crumble of paper airborne around. With weather conditions and time, copper tiki torches will eventually attain a verdigris look, which is a slightly greenish mellowing of the copper. Some decorators even try to emulate verdigris colors in new decorations, but it is very hard to emulate. So your copper tiki torches will grow more stylish with time. If you want a tiki torch that will last more than one summer and provide years of delight, then try copper tiki torches.

Copper tiki torches are safe to use if situated away from flammable objects and the children are either taught to stay away from them, or there are limited amounts of children in the area. Copper tiki torches are a great way to light up a garden at night and provide fun decorations for a party. Light up your outdoor party area by copper plated Outdoor garden tiki torch with matching table torch or patio torch. Its easy fill container uses standard lamp oil or citronella torch oil to repel insects.

Each outdoor garden torch comes complete with fiberglass wick that will last a lifetime. And if you encounter other issues, the retailer or manufacturer is always at the service by e-mail, phone, letter or fax.

Therefore, a copper tiki torch is a harmless purchase if you are looking for long life. You will have many years of pleasure from your copper tiki torch.

 

Outdoor Tiki Torches Always a Fun and Enjoyable Addition to Any Home or Party

Today tiki torches are made of almost anything: glass, ceramic, copper, brass, steel, and of course, bamboo.  Your preference will depend on your personal taste and your garden or patio decor.  But how do you narrow down the choices?

The flames on the tiki torch dance in the warm, evening breeze while the thick, rich scent of island flowers fills the night air and gentle sounds of quiet waves lap the beach. Ahhhh . . . paradise!

And what would paradise be without tiki torches?  They just go together so well.  A backyard garden or deck wouldn’t be complete without at least one tiki torch!  Maybe because they’ve been around so long….

Not so long ago tiki torches were still the primary source of light on many islands.  They were constructed of bamboo and fueled with oil. Today, though, tiki torches are made of many different types of materials and even the fuels are varied.  Want to know more?  Just keep following along!

First decide what style you want.  For example, if your tastes are more eclectic or art deco, you might appreciate ceramic tiki torches, usually very colorful.  In fact, they can become your focal point instead of just a subtle side light.  Since ceramic is breakable you’ll have to be more careful when cleaning and storing these tiki torches.

Another decision: do you want the traditional in-ground variety, table top, floor standing, deck rail attachments or . . . ?  Yes, tiki torches have come a long way!

What about fuel sources?  Some tiki torches are now battery-operated and have no flame. These torches can be used indoors and outdoors as well. This is an especially intelligent choice when you have a lot of children around, and they look so real it’s hard to tell the difference!  And now another choice just in time for the energy crisis – you can get a solar tiki torch!

Oh, but you’re feeling a little exotic?  Want to run around your own little patch of “jungle” and sing like Tarzan?  Sounds like you’ll want the traditional favorite: the bamboo tiki torch.  They’re the original tiki torch and the most authentic . . . you’ll be beating your chest in no time!

All tiki torches are easy to maintain and store.  To clean a bamboo tiki torch you just need mild soap, water, and a rag.  When storing your tiki torches, stand them upright if you don’t drain the fuel.  You can lay the torches on their sides if you drain and store the fuel separately, but make sure to lay them on tarps or other plastic to prevent scratches to the torches.

Tiki torches are always a fun and entertaining addition to any home or party.  They’re always ready for whatever mood you’re in.  Kind of like a really good friend, someone you can just be yourself with . . . while you’re beating your chest and swinging from trees, of course!
