Easy Ways to Upgrade Outdoor Space and Add Value to a Home, According to...
BRISBANE, Australia - September 8, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
A well-designed and maintained outdoor area has the potential to increase the overall value of a home, according to Online Patios. Making it easy to upgrade outdoor spaces with DIY carport and patio kits, Online Patios delivers products that offer a cost-effective solution for homeowners and builders to create high-quality outdoor settings.
According to Online Patios, as Australians have a love affair with outdoor living, an appealing outdoor area will become a huge selling point when it comes time to sell. Freshening up the garden with a prune of overgrown plants, new lawns or plants will instantly improve the street appeal of a home. Speaking with a local nursery expert will help to stretch the budget while also ensuring the right vegetation is being selected for the area.
Online Patios recommends creating a space for entertaining outdoors. During the warmer months, outdoor entertaining areas become one of the most used and loved parts of a home. A DIY patio or carport kit like those offered by Online Patios allows homeowners to create a unique look, with the ability to choose the size or the roof and the colour of the particular components, including beams, gutters and posts. The made-to-order products are available in a range of styles, such as freestanding, fixed to fascia and flyovers for a stylish and sleek look.
To create the ultimate outdoor entertaining area, Online Patios suggests decorating with outdoor furniture, pot plants and a built-in barbecue. These simple additions will transform the space and make it more appealing for lounging, socialising and dining. The space should incorporate both hard surfaces, such as paving or decking, with greenery.
For those with a higher budget, incorporating a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen with lighting and stylish shutters underneath the patio will create a lavish and inviting outdoor space, says Online Patios. Adding an outdoor fire pit and heaters will create ambience for the colder months, making the space useable all year round.
Offering the best DIY patio and carport kit Brisbane-wide, ordering online is easy with Online Patios.

The Appalachian Mountain Club Launches ‘See the Dark’ Program to Highlight the Importance of...

The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) launched See the Dark, a public awareness program to highlight the importance of the night sky and elevate understanding of the impact of light pollution.
The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) today launched See the Dark, a public awareness program to highlight the importance of the night sky and elevate understanding of the impact of light pollution. The program includes an online information campaign and a free educational unit designed for middle school teachers.
"At AMC, we envision a world where our natural resources are healthy, loved, and always protected—and that includes the night sky," said Susan Arnold, Interim President and CEO of AMC. "In 2021, our Maine Woods Property was designated as an International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association, becoming the first such park in New England. See the Dark brings the lessons and insights from that work to a much broader audience."
Arnold pointed to a growing disconnect between people and the night sky. Ninety-nine percent of the population of the United States lives someplace where the night sky is obscured by light pollution. Without light pollution, about 2,500 stars are visible to the human eye. That number drops to 200 stars in suburbs and less than a dozen in cities. That means urban dwellers are disproportionately denied access to one of nature's most beautiful treasures.
AMC created a Dark Sky Classroom Program to raise awareness of this issue. The free, easy-to-implement, three-day mini-unit is designed to help students learn about light pollution and the benefit of dark skies. The program was created by educators and is aligned with NGSS standards.
As an added incentive, AMC is also announcing a companion digital photo essay contest in which students can submit their work and be entered to win prizes. One lucky teacher and their class will win a two-night stargazing experience at the Appalachian Mountain Club's Little Lyford Lodge in Maine's Moosehead Lake region. Contest details may be found here.
"It's incredible that so many people cannot see the beauty that exists right above their heads," said Arnold. "Our hope is to start a conversation that leads to a greater appreciation of the dark."
In addition to the school-based program, AMC created a website - www.SeeTheDark.org - dedicated to providing a one-stop-shop for videos and stories highlighting the benefit of the dark sky.
