Cheapest gazebos and parasols for your garden
WITH the weather warming up, you might be looking for a way to create some shade in your garden.
We've rounded up a great range of cheap parasols available at the moment, and some gazebos to provide some rain cover if needed.
While we’re in the middle of a mini heatwave, everyone is spending a lot more time in their gardens, especially as pubs and restaurants are not expected to open again until July.
Then with the announcement this week from Prime Minister Boris Johnson that from Monday we can have a limited number of people over to our gardens, it’s the perfect time to spruce up your outdoor space.
It may be beautiful weather right now, but given how changeable British weather is, it’s always best to prepare for all conditions and a gazebo for your garden could protect guests against rain showers.
Before you buy anything, it’s always worth checking the price at a few other shops to make sure you’re getting the best price possible.
Tools like Google Shopping and , which logs the history of how much something costs, are a good place to start.
Of course, even if something looks like a bargain, unless you actually need it, and can afford it, it’s not worth buying.
If you are in the market for a new gazebo or parasol, here we’ve listed our pick of the cheapest available.
