Enter the Backyard Contest for a chance to win a Big Blue Party bluetooth speaker, Lumenplay app-controlled lights, 9’ umbrella, a Slackers Night Riderz Zipline kit, and more! The weather is finally warming up and that means it’s time to go outside again. Maybe you’re planting a vegetable garden, playing games with your family, pulling weeds, or building that brick oven you’ve been thinking about all winter. Whatever your backyard project may be, we want to see it.
Entries will be judged based on clarity, ingenuity, creativity, quality of presentation, and execution of the Instructable. Your backyard should be a place where you unwind and get away from it all. Show us how you make yours feel like home.
