Two decks extra challenge

We aren't sending out party invites because we have nowhere to invite our guests to sit!

We moved in eight months ago right before winter. We have an upper and lower deck, but unfortunately no furniture with the exception of two chairs and a small table.

For landscaping, we have very little privacy, so we are not sure what to put on the upper part of the deck versus the lower part.

We LOVE to be in our yard, playing corn hole, ladder golf, grilling and attempting to learn how to take care of the outdoor space. It's been a work in progress, but we would feel so lucky to be able to have our space accommodate guests because as new and very proud homeowners, we would love to host friends and family and can't wait to do so for the first summer in our new home.

Thank you for considering us!

Design suggestions by Viking Ski and Patio

Since you love your backyard, a sectional unit on your lower level would be perfect.

We envision a curved unit by your deck with a cocktail table. Two swivel lounge chairs and an end table could be placed farther off the staircase.

An aluminum dining set that seats six would fit nicely on your upper deck. We would suggest a 9-foot collar tilt umbrella to help with privacy.
