Outdoor Entertaining Series: Where to Watch

As football season kicks off and the weather remains warm, there’s no better way to enjoy the excitement than hosting a football watch party in your own backyard! This blog marks the start of our Outdoor Entertaining series, which will run through the season all the way to the Super Bowl. At Clarkson Pools, we’re dedicated to helping you create the ultimate outdoor space that blends luxury, functionality, and fun!

Screened-In Sanctuary

Keep your guests comfortable and protected from bugs or unpredictable weather with a screened-in patio. Whether you choose a projector for a big-game feel or a large flat-screen TV, this cozy setup provides the perfect viewing zone. Add outdoor heaters and string lights to ensure the party keeps going long after the sun sets, even as temperatures start to drop.

Covered Cabana Comfort

Turn your covered cabana into the ultimate football party hub! Opt for modular furniture that can be easily rearranged to suit your guest list, ensuring everyone has a perfect view of the game. Built-in outdoor speakers will pump up the energy with crowd noise or post-touchdown music. A covered cabana offers a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, keeping your event comfortable in any weather. For extra fun, add a cozy fireplace and mood lighting, creating a warm atmosphere for evening games your guests will love.

Pergola Perfection

A pergola offers the perfect combination of shade and comfort for your game-day crew. Add some plush outdoor seating, a mounted TV, and perhaps a bar cart to keep the drinks flowing. Hanging string lights and installing an overhead fan will create a cozy, inviting atmosphere for both day and night games. To make things even more fun, consider adding hanging chairs for a unique, relaxing spot for guests to enjoy the game in style.

Outdoor Kitchen

No football watch party is complete without delicious food, and an outdoor kitchen takes your entertaining game to the next level. Install a grill, mini-fridge, and prep area to keep the snacks flowing without missing a play. You can even add a pizza oven or smoker for a game-day menu that will wow your guests. An outdoor kitchen not only enhances your space but adds lasting value to your home.

Swim-Up Bar & Poolside Kitchen

For a truly luxurious football viewing experience, consider connecting your outdoor kitchen to the pool with a swim-up bar. Imagine your guests relaxing in the water while enjoying the game and refreshing drinks at the bar without ever leaving the pool. With a strategically placed TV, your backyard can transform into a football paradise where everyone can watch the game from the comfort of the pool.

Whether you’re upgrading your current setup or starting from scratch, these ideas will help you create the ultimate game-day space.
