Your ultimate guide to outdoor living

There’s something about the sun that makes us want to spend all day, every day outside. While that thought is more a dream than a reality, we can all transform our garden to ensure that any time we do enjoy outdoors is the best that it can be.

So whether your space is little or large, full of garden furniture or flower beds, our guide is here to make your garden gorgeous. It’s time to get stuck into outdoor living!

Small But
Mighty Spaces

It can feel challenging to try new things when you’ve got limited outdoor space. Luckily, you can make even the tiniest courtyard feel roomy by using little tricks like levels and lighting.

To give the impression of lots of luscious greenery without taking up the patio area, try experimenting with hanging baskets.

Easily arranged at different levels around the garden, this tip is a fuss-free way of bringing a touch of freshness to confined areas.

Outdoor lighting is another way to make the most of space. To create a cosy corner for reading and relaxing, hang LED string lights around fences, trees and even drain pipes. Simple!

Bring Out
The BBQ

What could be better than hosting a BBQ on a sunny afternoon? Just the activity to bring friends and family together, a BBQ will make sure you enjoy every aspect of your outdoor area.

Whether you opt for a charcoal or a gas option, spend some time figuring out what size BBQ is right for you and your family.

Dine in style al fresco with our outdoor dining range

If you’re planning on inviting over large groups, ensure you have enough space for sausages, burgers and any veg you might want.

People tend to eat with their eyes, so why not serve your mouth-watering meal on some stylish tableware to impress guests?

A Night Under
The Stars

Just because the sun sets doesn’t mean you have to wait until tomorrow to appreciate your garden. Why not spend a night under the stars with our camping equipment?

From sleeping mats and tents to gazebos and rugs, we have everything you need for a fun-filled family evening.

Designed with a super soft lining for added comfort, this Ozark Trail sleeping bag features a two-way zip to help seal in warmth

Not only will little ones love the excitement of getting snuggly in a sleeping bag, but camping is a fantastic way to spend time outdoors even once the sun has set.

Kick Back And Relax Garden Furniture

For al fresco family dinners, try a patio set. Coming in different sizes and styles to suit all manners of gardens, a patio set is the perfect way to add a stylish touch to your garden.

Or, for casual catch-ups with friends, why not try a sofa set to create a chilled out vibe?

If you’re short on space, you can store any excess furniture in a garden shed to bring out as and when you need it.

Let your little ones enjoy fun in the sun with our fantastic range of outdoor toys, including bikes, scooters and trampolines.
