[@kenziemac]

we screwed up so you don’t have to 😉 lollll if you try this whole canopy situation, let me know how it works for you!! 🫶🏼

[@jenyank3181]

Kenzie: Can you share how the canopy and wood held up since then?

[@user-ml4mn2im5l]

Yeah Pinterest will have you looking so crazy! I tired that last year and mine blew to the ground and cracked the concrete inside LOL so we had to rethink some things

[@jenyank3181]

@@user-ml4mn2im5l What worked for you??

[@daninic9355]

I’m not sure if anyone else has mention this, but the concrete in pots work if you pick the right pots. The pots needs to have an equal or wider base to the top, it also needs to be complete filled. You may also have run into issues because you need tension on the shade sail and the pot is not secured to the ground. The method you are using is to string lights and light wait items without tension. Sorry that happened but great solution!

[@dalemichals2336]

Your patio turned out great! It was nice to see the bloops as my husband and I have had many during our diy projects. You achieved your goal of homey and pretty.

[@meishawelcome8584]

The best idea ever was chugging the hole in the bottom of the planter and sliding down the pole to then really use as a planter. Love it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@kenziemac]

yes!! these two planters were $18 from walmart and work GREAT for this 👍🏻 thanks for watching 🥰

[@NiffaK]

Fantastic idea re the pots sliding into the poles but I’d have filled them with fake plants because surrounding your poles with moist earth will rot them.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

What a *great* project! Love the idea of cutting the base out of the planters & hiding that cable under the rug. Much more restful on the eye. Enjoy! ❤

[@kenziemac]

thank you so much, lorna! i love hiding little details like that. thanks for watching! 🤍

[@h3arty]

absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! WELL DONE!!

[@judyshallstrom415]

Looks very nice. Especially at night The lights are great

we loveee it at night, it’s so cozy 🥹 thank you, judy! 🫶🏼🥰

[@karmiller4540]

Cant begin to tell you how grateful I am for this and every video. in my comments before I was asking when the weather breaks that I would love to see you do some outdoor videos and this was more than I could have imagined. Thank you and have an amazing weekend.

[@kenziemac]

aw, kar! thank you 🥰 i always look forward to your encouraging comments, it truly does lift me up in the best way! 🫶🏼 so glad you liked today’s video! 🤭

You guys did such a wonderful job I like how the whole family is out there being involved you truly are blessed , what a beautiful family you have enjoy your new patio😎

[@aquinopm]

Hi Kenzie, love everything you did. It looks amazing! Just one small advice, put something under the plants you put on the rug. This way the dirty water doesn’t drain all over your beautiful rug. Please keep the videos coming, I enjoy them all.

[@kenziemac]

great advice! i actually just move the plants to the concrete every time i water them so they don’t make a big mess 😜 i should invest in some plant saucers though, that would be much easier! 🤭🤍

[@grisespino5342]

I'm inspired looks so cozy at night. Few things learned in my windy area; small planters need watering almost daily Plant wind break/ shade trees sooner than later. Drip irrigation on a timer priceless

[@kenziemac]

wow thank you so much! these tips are so helpful to me 🥹🫶🏼

[@deborahthompson5041]

Simply beautiful. Good job

[@nickmacdonald6517]

Even though we had to unexpectedly switch up plans 😂😅 can’t believe how it turned out so excited to be out there all summer ☀️🔥

honestly i couldn’t have done it without you babe, you are the star of the show in this video 😜🤍

[@donnawolfe8682]

[@irmadiaz5928]

Hi McKenzie You did a great job your outside porch decor turns out awesome a sad beginning turn out with a good ending adding some flowers in the flower pots around the Post added some beauty along with the new chairs and fireplace it's amazing 👍🏾👍🏾💖

[@kenziemac]

thanks for watching and this sweet comment, irma! i appreciate it so much 🤭🫶🏼

[@jannibal9273]

You need to use heavier containers with wider bases on the bottom than on the top, especially in a windy open area. But Plan B is the best, digging the posts in at least a couple of feet below surface and using Quikcrete to cement them in sturdy. Very nice touch adding the "over the posts" planters, they won't be blowing over. It looks beautiful, and very practical too. I'm sure you know this, but if you experience a winter season when you won't be using the patio, you should take down the sun shade and store it, it will add to its useful life not to be up 24/7/365.

[@joycethreattto2115]

Turned out really pretty,great job

[@reeda6376]

The outcome looks beautiful

[@kenziemac]

[@Life.W.Walkinshaw]

idk if this was already said but this happened to us as well and then we mixed the cement mixed it really well and then put in the post and it worked great, Also wait 24 hrs before using them at all for anything, obviously this is way done by the time I'm commenting but... for future people :)

[@lisabradford2571]

One of the most beautiful patio transformations I've seen, and such a fun one to watch!! I really like the window boxes, and the character you added with the trim and paint. Using the planters with the beam was awesome, lol. I really love the fire pit as well. Enjoy your new patio!!

[@sitterfo]

Beautiful!! I thought it was brilliant that you cut out a square at the bottom of the planter and then raises them over the beans. So smart!!!

[@kenziemac]

thank you so much! ☺️ i appreciate you taking the time to comment! 🤍

I am crazy about the clean lines. Y’all did a great job!

[@kenziemac]

i know i was worried about that too! thank you so much 🥰

[@annparsons2112]

You should stain your planter boxes to match the wood on your chairs. The patio turned out great.

[@angelamiller6788]

I love how you guys came up with the idea to still use the flower pots, everything looks great

[@kenziemac]

thank you, angela! i think it was a blessing in the end for sure 🥰

[@kenziemac]

ahhh thanks jen! i appreciate you girl. about to go watch your new makeover video 😍

[@cupcakesandharley]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! My only suggestion is that you should have treated or put tar on the wood portion that is in the pots because when you water the flowers, eventually the wood will rot.

[@janebentrott5984]

Everything looks great!! Hoping you have many hours of relaxation and family fun on your new patio!!🌸😎🌸

ohh you know we will girl 😍😏

[@bre4634]

ahhh thanks ev!! it took way longer than expected but hey we got it done 😅

[@carolinapincheira]

wow your patio looks so pretty! and the wood poles are a such a great idea! a little suggestion...maybe you could use a protective stain so the water of the plants doesn't ruin the wood

[@kenziemac]

yes!! that’s a great idea. i’ll put that on my list, thank you, carolina! 🥰🫶🏼

[@jenmv3483]

Project turned out real nice, but wow that rug is expensive! Any cheaper alternatives? You might even consider spray scotch guard for your cushions, color last longer. 😎

[@kenziemac]

that’s a great idea! 😊 we got the rug a few years ago so i didn’t realize the price, i will look for some cheaper outdoor options for ya 🤍

[@sylviaskinner6849]

Thanks for that tip. I’m going to Scotchgard my cushions now. ❤

[@andreacastillogil2826]

Wonderful

[@dwynn57]

I think that the patio turned out beautifully! I know it was alot of hard work! We put up a sail last year on our front patio and it was not as seamless as yours was! But the good news is that you can take them down and put them back up without much fuss! loved the furniture too! thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@lindaglover7088]

The base of the flower pot has to be wide and the weight of the concrete has to be enough to keep the very heavy 4x4x10 standing up right.

[@kenziemac]

yes! the post stood up great in the planter on its own with the concrete, just not when the canopy was attached 😊

[@leiasayers127]

The planters method works well. However, you need heavy planters. Ones made of cement or pottery, not thin plastic. And you shouldn't use planters with a pedestal or "feet". They are easier to knock or blow over. You might consider sealing those posts and window boxes too, so they don't rot from weather exposure.

[@kenziemac]

yesss we learned this the hard way 😅 great advice, thank you leia! 🫶🏼

[@lulimatos7537]

Everything turned out so pretty. I was thinking some bougainvillea would look amazing on the pots to trail up the wood 😍
