We've rounded up five fun, satisfying outdoor projects to kick start your weekend.

1. Add some shade to a sunny patio with a planter umbrella stand; a concrete center makes the stand super-sturdy, and plants fill the top to hide the umbrella sleeve when it's not in use.

This is a wonderful idea when a person has enough space in his backyard. Even if there is not enough space for an umbrella one should at least take care of a flower garden. Planting flowers in the weekend can be a very relaxing activity.
