What this site is
Patio Buyer Guide covers louvered pergolas, patio furniture, outdoor pizza ovens and outdoor rugs. Every number on this site is the maker's own published figure. We print the source and the date we read it next to each one.
We do not run a test lab. When a page gives an opinion, it says so. When a maker does not publish a figure, the table says "not published" instead of a guess.
Who writes it
A small editorial desk. Our editor publishes under a house byline.
Laura writes the buyer's guides. She reads the makers' pages, the warranty terms and the owner reviews, and keeps the dates.
How we are paid
We earn a commission when you buy through links on this site, from Hansø Home on the pergola pages and from Amazon on the furniture, outdoor cooking and rugs pages. A commission never moves a product up or down a ranking, and it never changes the price you pay. The full note is on the affiliate disclosure page.
Corrections
If a figure on this site is wrong, write to [email protected] with the page and the source. We correct the page and add the date of the correction to it.
