If you and your family could not stand the heat, you may enclose the patio and put an air conditioner but make sure to put a huge window on it so that you can still see the scenery outside.

  1. Play area and movie theatre

On one of the corners of the patio, set up a space for kids to put their toys there. This play area will make kids comfortable to join the outdoor activities with the elderly. You can also put some toys that can be played together with such as monopoly, stacks, chess, balls, and others. To make it more fun, you can also set up a movie theatre on your summer patio so that you can watch your favorite movies together with your family and friends.
