Outdoor Heating

Getting the most out of your garden furniture in the summer months may depend on the unpredictable climate to a certain extent but you can tip the scales in your favour by investing in some form of outdoor heating.

At the very basic level this may be simply achieved by setting aside a corner of your garden for a small bonfire. If this isn’t practical though a fire pit might be the next best option. Essentially, a firepit is a portable fireplace that can be cleaned out after use.

Fire Pits

Since a fire pit is something you’ll want to use every year, it’s worth paying a bit extra for durable materials and build quality but you don’t have to go over the top. Reasonably priced pits start at around £50 and can be good value for money…
