Garage or Backyard?

Where do you hang out the most?

Bought a house with a koi pond and lovely waterfall/trickling stream adjacent to our patio. Huge backyard, too. Would never think of hanging out in the garage.

Things like this skew your answer. If I had that I'd live in the backyard. We had a midsize backyard with no deck and a small patio.

We lived on a cul-de-sac and all of us became great friends. So opening that garage door meant game time. It was like an adult dorm floor, but with kids. Plus in the fall we had bonfires in the street like twice a week and almost daily basketball games.

edit: also lots of things like poker and ping pong being played

Garage and it's not close.
Ours is heated, epoxy floor, has a TV and projector, beer fridge, closer to bathroom, and easier for neighbors to stop by.

The inlaws are more driveway with garage door open while we are back deck. What do those have in common? Both face west and the late afternoon/evening sun.

I never really understood why the driveway hang was so popular in Iowa. Where I’m from it’s back deck 9 times out of 10.

Easy, Backyard, I try to avoid the garage as my wife will just complain that it is too messy or unorganized.
 
Backyard and patio. The garage is strictly for cars. If you use it to pile junk while your vehicles waste away in the elements you are doing it all wrong.

I hang out at both My garage is basically my ISU man cave which has Hulu tv, beer fridge and seating for 9 carpeted with Mitsubishi mini split! My backyard is my party place with large patio and pergola with stereo in both! Go CyclonesIMG_4837.jpeg

Backyard, my garage is more of a shop and I just don’t turn wrenches like I used to.
