I'm not real sure why everyone always says 'outdoor patios' instead of just patios. When is a patio not outdoors? Isn't by definition a patio:
1. An outdoor space for dining or recreation that adjoins a residence and is often paved.
2. A roofless inner courtyard, typically found in Spanish and Spanish-style dwellings.
Either way, I'm going to include many pictures of 'outdoor patios' for you to enjoy and to inspire your patio project.
