20 DIY Outdoor Summer Projects You Need to Try

Summer is here, and I couldn’t be any more excited! I love it in all its glory; hot weather, sunshine, cool relaxing evenings, swimming, gardening, and so much more. You name it, I love it (and, I love it even more since we just got an a/c unit! YAY!)! I also love working outside and making fun things, just as any DIYer does. I’ve been eyeing all sorts of awesome DIY outdoor projects around blogland lately, and I thought it was time I put them all into one place for you (and me!).

While we currently have a tiny little yard, I still want to try every single one of these at some point because they are all so cool. I guess we just need to find a bigger house! Poor David. πŸ˜‰
