Whether it's a deck, a patio, or a shady spot in the yard, we all have a favorite summer outdoor space that becomes an extension to our living quarters during the warmer months. My family's outdoor spaces (a porch AND a patio), are both in drastic need of makeovers before summer is in full swing.I have been on the hunt for the perfect American made items to make these spaces great for both entertaining our friends and for hanging with each other. Here are five made in the USA items that I found in my search that would be a perfect addition to anyone's outdoor space.
Don't miss our list of made in USA patio furniture.
Get Your Outdoor Space Ready for Summer in American Made Style
1.The Montauk Collection of indoor/outdoor furniture by Manchester Wood Update 3/15/22: Sadly, since this article was written in 2015 Manchester Wood has gone out of business.
All of the pieces in this collection- chair (single or double), coffee table, side table, and child's chair- are crafted from solid American ash and contain rust free hardware. What I LOVE most about the Montauk Collection (okay, besides it's cool retro 1920s vibe!) is the fact that each piece folds up for easy transport- perfect for moving chairs and tables from my porch to the patio when entertaining.
2. A patio umbrella by laurie bell
Stay out of the sun in style with one of these patio umbrellas that come in a great selection of patterns and colors. The high performance fabrics used to make them are stain, mildew and fade resistant.
3. An Outdoor rug by Capel Rugs
Not all of the rugs they make are American made, but there is a great selection of outdoor rugs to choose from that are, with many different styles and colors to choose from.
4. A Fire bowl and accessories by Ohio Flame
These fire pits and fire bowls are stunning pieces of art! Crafted from thick carbon American steel sourced from a local steel mill, they are weather resistant and guaranteed to last a lifetime.
5. Window or planter boxes by DMC Products
Live in an area with lots of mosquitoes? Place some planter or window boxes, like these by DMC Products, in your outdoor space that are planted with natural mosquito repelling plants.

The link for Manchester Wood is broken. I would love to buy American made but several times I use your lists and they are not helpful!
Hi Lisa, Sorry! This is an old article from 2015. Manchester Wood is no longer in business. Please check the dates at the top of the posts. If they are older than 3 years, the post has not been updated. Sorry again!
Tracey, I like the list but I think you need to add chair cushions to your list. It would make those wooden chairs more comfortable. I found some great outdoor cushions from Pillow Perfect. I love the name. Not sure if it is okay to mention the website but I will. If that it a problem I understand it you remove it. Their site is http://www.pillowperfect.com
Hi Becca, Thanks for the tip! I will check Pillow Perfect out 🙂
Great American made products. It’s to bad we don’t have more items made on American soil.
I would love an outdoor rug — great finishing touch!
These are some gorgeous products!! My favorite is the Fire Bowl!! I have never seen anything like it. Way cool!!
The adjustable umbrella is a great idea for a table or even over the corner of the pool!
All of these make me wish I had a yard! I just have a dinky little balcony in the city…sigh….
