Get a Party-Ready Backyard

Pinterest Pit

BBQ Pro 30" Square Tile Top Fire Pit for $82.61 via coupon code "10SEARS" (a low by $52)

Most of the perfect backyards you've pinned probably feature a fire pit. They create a nice ambiance, provide a focal point on the patio, and allow you to spend evenings outdoors even as the chill of autumn sets in. You can make those Pinterest ideas a reality with this one for under $100!

Sun Screen

Garden Oasis Long Beach 13-Foot Hex Gazebo with Net for $598.49 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($102 off)

No matter how outdoorsy you are, baking in the sun all day will not optimize your enjoyment of summer. Invest in this instant shade and you'll also get the added bonus of netting to protect you from bugs.

Sit and Snack

Atlantic Santorini Deluxe 7-Piece Patio Seating Set with Cushions for $1,115.09 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($274 off)

Entertaining will be awkward if your guests have nowhere to sit. Not only does this set solve that problem, but it also features enough table space for everybody's snacks and drinks.

Mealtime Managed

Kenmore Deluxe Charcoal Grill for $183.59 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($96 off)

Food is a crucial component of successful backyard gatherings. With its folding side shelves and 28-burger cooking capacity, this grill will make it easy to prepare lunch, dinner, or even elevenses. (You have the internet; you can figure out how to make scones over charcoal.)

Stay Chill

Garden Oasis 80-Quart Stainless Steel Patio Cooler for $155.32 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($75 off)

Perhaps even more important than food is a sufficient supply of frosty beverages. This cooler features a convenient built-in bottle opener, so nobody has to miss a minute of fun by going inside.

Own the Night

Grand Resort Domed Chandelier for $128.51 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($71 off)

Nightfall won't even phase you when you've got this remote-controlled outdoor chandelier. Suddenly, the darkness will be less of an annoying visibility issue and more of a pleasant atmospheric condition.

Trickling Treat

Garden Oasis Lit Rock Fountain for $91.71 via coupon code "10SEARS" ($78 off)

Anybody who's watched five seconds of HGTV knows the value of a water feature. The sound of this fountain's flow is calming, and it's an artful bit of decor that probably fits in with your natural landscape.

Go Bigger

Intex 16-Foot Round 48" Ultra Frame Pool Set with Filter Pump and Ladder for $369.99 (a low by $12)

For an entirely different sort of water feature, a pool is always an option. It's a much more active form of entertainment, and you can stay cool no matter how high the temperature climbs.

Aqua Disco

Blue Wave 5-Color Underwater Light Show Pool Light for $18.99 (a low by $3)

And if you want to take that pool to the next level, here's your finishing touch. Nothing says "party" like a rainbow light show (except maybe a flawless playlist, but Sears doesn't have those).
