11 Best Costco Outdoor Finds Hitting Shelves This Week

Now that it’s sunny and (almost) 75, all I can think about are backyard BBQs and pool parties. But if your yard isn’t quite ready for guests, don’t worry. I scoured through thousands of outdoor items at Costco and found the 11 most-worth buying—including, U.V.-resistant tents, planters, grilling essentials, mosquito repellent, and more. Shop my top picks below.

Grow marigolds, dahlias, pansies, snapdragons and other spring annuals in this Multy 5-Tier Stackable Planter ($36). Crafted from U.V.-resistant, recycled materials, the modular planters are equipped with drainage holes to prevent saturation and boost airflow. The planter can also serve as a herb garden for cilantro, rosemary, mint, thyme, sage, and so on.

This SunVilla Helio 4-Piece Patio Set ($700) will serve as the perfect centerpiece for your outdoor gatherings. Both the love seat and lounge chairs are made from breathable, fast-drying mesh sling fabric, while the coffee table is made from sleek faux teakwood. A polyester furniture cover is also included to protect the set from Mother Nature when not in use.

There’s a lot to love about the Coolaroo 13′ x 7′ Rectangle Shade Sail ($43). For starters, the lightweight fabric blocks up to 85 percent of harmful U.V. rays, per the brand, and it comes with pre-attached ropes for easy installation—no tools needed! Plus, the portable design allows you to easily reposition the sail to fit your space.

Safeguard your pool essentials, lawn equipment, and yard games in Suncast’s all-weather construction 6′ x 4′ Vertical Shed ($500). It offers 106 cubic feet of storage space, alongside pad-lockable doors and wall hooks.

Dress up your backyard or garden with this 3-Piece Stone Stepping Stones Set ($47).

“I wanted some stepping stones to put under a tree as a shortcut from [my] driveway to the front door. These are lighter than stone but substantial,” says one shopper.

It’s time to fire up the barbie! Enjoy sirloin steaks, chicken kebabas, juicy burgers, corn on the cob, and more with your new Weber Spirit EP-325 Gas Grill (on sale for $470). The three-burner grill is designed with a digital thermometer for added convenience and high-quality tiered cast-iron grates.

Too many cooks in the kitchen? We found the solution: The Suncast Outdoor Prep Station with Storage ($400). It complements your new Weber grill and gives helpers a designated prep space without getting in the chef’s corners.

Of course, you’re going to need an arsenal of cooking sprays and delicious dressings for your BBQ feast. Stock up on Chosen Foods 100% Avocado Oil Spray ($25 per two-pack), which has a 500 degrees Fahrenheit smoke point. (Just be sure you spray your meats and veggies prior to grilling.)

Additionally, Costco members in the Southwest can also pick up Chosen Foods Zesty Italian Dressing & Marinade and Steakhouse Caesar Dressing & Marinade for $14 per two-pack.

Shoppers love the Flexon 100-Foot Contractor Grade Hose ($35) because it’s “lightweight and manageable” and it “has specific instructions to avoid kinking.”

“They offer a better tough-duty hose [and] longer length hose than we can get anywhere else,” raved another customer.

Stay bug-bite free this summer with Thermacell’s Mosquito Repellent + FAST-Charging Dock for $59. It provides a 20-foot zone protection, offering a safer alternative to traditional bug sprays.

Splish-splash in the sun with the Bestway Power Steel Oval Pool ($720). It only takes an hour to set up and comes with a built-in solar heater. The above ground pool can accommodate eight to 10 people.
