The last few years has brought home the importance of outdoor living space for many people. Staycations can mean having a holiday at a local resort or renting a cottage - but families are also opting to have a vacation at home, and this means fixing up the backyard to create a resort like environment.

Expanding the patio, installing a fire pit, putting in a pool or spa, building an outdoor kitchen or fireplace, are some of the popular upgrades.

When you start thinking about improvements remember that the benefits of propane don't end at the front door. With propane, you can transform any outdoor space into a welcoming environment used throughout the seasons.

As a local business operating in central Ontario for decades, Budget Propane is proud to contribute to local organizations and help out in the community where we work and live.

In June, we made a donation to Camp Winston, Kilworthy Sparrow Lake, to support their matching fund campaign goal. Camp Winston has been offering vital recreational activities and summer programs for children with complex neurobiological disorders for over 30 years. This year is particularly of importance as as the camp is reopening for the first time since 2019.

We'd like to share more information about this remarkable place and what they do.

It's one of those big trends you see every once in awhile in home outdoor living & patio design - the fire pit. You just need to look through your local real estate listings to see how many people are installing fire pits and showcasing them as a backyard feature.

A fire pit looks inviting and reminds us that our outdoor space can be an area for family and friends to get together and enjoy time outside. No wonder they are so popular! And the heat they generate means you can enjoy your patio at the start of the spring and well into the fall.

Fire pits can be wood, natural gas or propane. Of course the advantage of propane is that the unit can be run from a portable propane cylinder and propane provides strong BTU heat and burns clean.

Believe it or not, summer in Ontario, Canada, is almost here and that means you have probably already started thinking about the ways you can make the most of your summer before the snow hits again.

Taking advantage of your backyard will be high on the list. Did you know that propane can help you achieve that whilst also helping you save money?
