For city dwellers, a patio of any size is a luxury. Jesse Hayes and Kate Davidson of San Francisco take advantage of their narrow side-yard patio with a grill and an outdoor dining table. String lights mean this narrow patio can be transformed into an evening space for entertaining. The nearby window makes it easy to pass food and drinks from the kitchen outside.
