Many of us are spending more time at home…and outdoors in our backyards. Maybe you’re looking out your window and dreaming of something new.

A backyard project to expand or enhance your patio. A unique DIY yard project to make your space even more yours. A special space to bring nature into your garden.

  • Consider a wooden pergola to define an intimate space for family dining or entertaining.
  • Or a geometric-shaped patio sail to add drama and provide refuge from the midday sun.
  • A grill gazebo offers a convenient and weather-resistant space for grilling steaks or a medley of fresh vegetables.
  • Add a solar yard lamp post to light up your patio.
  • Or line the perimeter of your yard with energy-efficient solar lamps to add ambient light and safety. 

Create an Outdoor Oasis


If you’re trying to create a more private oasis, add a small stylish privacy fence, a new trellis or a decorative yard post. A string of Edison lights draped between yard posts can make your evening dining more festive and inviting. Install a pole mounted birdhouse. Spending your mornings watching cardinals, blue jays and finches before they take flight. And if you have a green thumb, consider a garden arbor, or tiny greenhouse for herbs or starter vegetables—and let your passion grow!

Many Projects Can Be Done in a Weekend

There are designs to match your style, budget and expertise level. And, if the thought of moving and mixing heavy concrete bags is what’s stopping you, consider expanding foam to cut the time and effort to place deck posts and light posts that last.

Fast 2K ™ is an easy-to-use foaming substrate that secures your yard posts fast. Simply pop the clip, mix it and pour. It hardens in 15-30 minutes so you can keep your project moving. It’s light—one 2.5 lb. bag of Fast 2K™ Expanding Backfill Composite for Fence Posts replaces up to two 50 lb. bags of concrete. It’s easy enough for weekend warriors, and sturdy enough for contractors, too. And, if you’re building a light load-bearing structure – believe it or not, our Fast 2K Deck Post Anchor can do that too.

There is almost no end to the unique projects you can build, with help from Fast 2K™—from dramatic to practical, for fun or privacy. So, let’s get this party started! And make your backyard an even more inviting space to spend with family or friends. Or just to relax with a cup of joe admiring your new surroundings.
