Front porch hacks that make life easier

I recently figured out a pretty neat trick for keeping bugs away from my front porch area. I hung up a couple dryer sheets near the seating area—sounds weird, I know, but it actually seems to help keep mosquitoes and gnats at bay. Plus, it smells kinda nice too, haha. Curious if anyone else has some clever tricks or hacks for making their porch space more comfy or practical...
