The summer months bring a barrage of sunlight and fresh air. We love being able to soak up as much warmth as possible so our backyards become a valuable piece of our home during this time of year. You're able to garden, eat and entertain outside, which makes up for all of the cabin fever you experienced during the winter. You may even get the itch to spruce up your backyard thanks to the inspiration from the warm weather.

There are several things you can do to add something extra to your property during the summer: plant more flowers and produce, buy new patio furniture, put in a pool, etc. While all of those would give your backyard the facelift it needs, it'll take a toll on your bank account. Instead, use DIY projects as inspiration for summer yard renewal. This DIY fire pit seating, for example, is an ideal way to make your yard more inviting for guests. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to have a cozy bonfire on those cooler summer nights.

Let's take a look at this DIY fire pit seating as inspiration for a backyard summer makeover!
