Install a Movie Theater.

Now before you freak out and think that you will have to put a lot of money into this project, the truth of the matter is that you can do this for a lot less than you think it might be. The use of a white sheet to act as the screen, along with a projector that is attached to a laptop, will work just fine in helping you to set up your theater. You can use lawn chairs to give people a place to sit while watching movies. This can be done for an affordable price, and makes your yard the place to be among your neighbors.

Place Marbles in Your Fence.

This sounds a lot harder than it really is. The way that this can be accomplished is simple. Take and drill some holes in your fence, and take marbles of all types of shapes and colors to make a display that will leave a lot of people speechless, and give people a thing that they will want to sit and talk about for a long time. It is easy to accomplish, as well as one of the more affordable ideas that you can really take advantage of.

Build Your Own Oversized Scrabble Board.

This is a fun idea that many people are doing on a regular basis, and making a conversation piece that people will be left talking about for a very long time. The materials that you need for this can easily be purchased from a craft store, or even your local Home Depot, or another hardware store. This will be a fun activity that you can do with friends and neighbors, while you are having a yard party on a movie night. There are tons of places that you can go to get the idea for this project.

Build Your Own Fire Pit.

The materials that you will need can be purchased for a small fee and the actual building is something that you can use for your own imagination. Going online, you can find plans that will give you all types of ideas to choose from. Once you have built your fire pit, then you can have a smores night while playing Scrabble or watching a movie.

Making a Space for your Pet

Anyone with a pet knows the embarrassment when your dog has been sick and leaves green dog poop in the yard and you miss picking it up. If you have a furry friend that has started to take over your yard, try making a space just for them. Giving them a section of the yard that is just theirs will not only help keep your yard clean and looking better, but it will also keep your pet happier.

Ditch the Diving Board in Place of a Trampoline.

This is an idea that more and more people are doing on a regular basis. This is far more fun for you and your guests, as they will love the fact that they can dive into the pool with a lot more creativity. This can be easily done as it is one of the easiest DIY projects as all you need is a trampoline from a store, or even a used one that you find online for a bargain price.

All of these ideas are perfect for a summer night, and can make your yard the place to go for a lot of interesting times. These ideas can easily be done all at the same time on a movie night, and can make your yard a lot more interesting than it used to be. Go ahead and try any one of these ideas, and see for yourself how this can take your yard from blah to wow.
