Backyard Inspiration! This Family is Living the Dream with this Ultimate Backyard

Looking for a little backyard inspiration? Look no further – we’ve found the ultimate summer setup. Pool, ping pong, and a playground that takes up half the backyard! These are only a few of the fantastic features in this epic backyard.

This insane set-up comes with a summer camp full of activities for kids (and adults). According to Home Junkie, the whole set-up was designed by a very handy father for his very lucky kids. Backyard inspiration goals for sure!

We’re unsure of the exact location but if we were to guess, we’d go with Texas. The patio painted as a massive Texas flag kind of gives it away…

Living the backyard dream

Let’s take a look at all the toys on offer in this stunning space. First off, we’ve got an above-ground sparkling pool complete with a basketball hoop and a waterslide.

Head down the stairs and you reach the Texas deck with a massive hammock and ping pong table.

Or, head up the stairs to reach a playground that doubles as a wooden fortress. Not only are there two covered slides, but also a big swing, plus another double slide, a rock climbing wall and plenty of pathways to explore.

Look underneath the double slide and there’s also a pretty cool sand pit.

And check out how awesome it looks all lit up at night. You’ve undone yourself, dad!

But this is only part of the summer fun. There’s also a shed full of toys undercover in case it gets too hot out in the sun. Inside we’ve got a full bar, two televisions, a pool table and a hot tub.

From another angle we also see there’s a baby swing and some dart boards plus plenty of funky and colourful decor to inspire conversation starters.

Hey, I like your big blue wall of turtles.

Thanks, mate. Me too.

Now, I don’t know about you, but this set-up is basically my summer dream. A pool, a bar, plenty of games – sign me up! Heck, I’ll even bring the kids with me.
