However, for many homeowners, making sure gardens feel secluded and private is extremely important.
Although building a large fence to keep neighbours from prying can be pricey - and lead to disagreements - there are cheaper methods of keeping your garden private.
Home Bargains ' Jardin Expanding Willow Trellis is priced at just £5.99, making it perfect for penny pinchers.
The stylish trellis can be used to grow stunning climbing plants such as roses, which will cover up the gaps in your fence, making it impossible for neighbours to see through.
It can be easily fixed to an existing fence, making it a simple way to enhance your garden.
B&M said: "Transform your garden with the Jardin Expanding Willow Trellis!
"Crafted from 100% natural, weather-resistant wood, this versatile trellis can be used vertically or horizontally to support climbing plants or enhance your garden."
The trellis measures 90 x 180cm, giving you ample coverage and is built to last in all seasons.
If the Home Bargains buy doesn't tickle your fancy B&Q's Lifelike Grape Leaf Foldable Artificial Green Wall is another purse-friendly product.
The stylish £8 screen comes in a realistic leaf design, perfect for blending in to your greenery.
Gardeners are rushing to Home Bargains to snap up £X bargain that instantly turns your home into a Mediterranean paradise
Like the Home Bargains buy, this product can also be fixed to your existing fence or balcony, helping to keep your garden safe from prying eyes.
Plus, the fence has been made with premium wood and weather resistant plastic, making it extra durable - so you don't have to worry about it coming down in windy or rainy conditions.
A product description reads: "Bring refreshing greenery to your outdoor décor with this artificial hedge panel.
"Designed for versatility, it works as a fence screen, wall décor, or garden hedge.
Lidl is also selling a stylish privacy fence, at the slightly pricier cost of £22.99.
The Livarno Home Garden Screening is another product perfect for creating privacy and serenity in your garden, balcony or patio.
It features a tasteful hedge design made with durable plastic, allowing the screen to blend in with your greenery.
To attach the screen, simply use the 20 cable ties included in the purchase.

Millionaire family who blow £40k per holiday muck out sheep on Lancashire camping trip, in Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday
A MILLIONAIRE couple, who have £2500 a week in disposable income were left horrified when they had to muck out alpacas as a "fun" activity on Channel 5's Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday. After giving the Leaf family a glimpse into their lives by taking them to a hotel in Malta that cost more per night than their monthly rent, the Dissont family were whisked off to rural Lancashire for a budget break. 3 3 Health and Aesthetics clinic owners Sam and Andre, who earn up to £80,000 a month, blow up to £40,000 on a single break, so they were less than impressed by the Leaf's glamping holiday, with Andre describing the glamping pods as akin to a "sewage silo." "It's smaller than some of the bathrooms in the hotel's we've stayed in", said Sam, who is used to five star luxury. "I've never been on a holiday where I could touch all four walls at the same time", Andre admitted. The couple and their 14-year-old daughter were immediately unsure whether they would be able to hack the trip. "There's no holiday feel to it, it's just endurance", said Andre, after having to lug his suitcase across a muddy field. The posh family, from Cheshire, who blew £155 on a guided tour in Malta, were shocked to find that the same cost was their entire spending budget for the four-day Lancashire trip. "That is so tight", Andre fumed. "We spend that much money just on getting to the airport." The holiday doesn't get off to a great start, with Sam moaning about the cold temperatures and the fact they're "stuck in a field", with nowhere to go. The couple were horrified by the communal bathroom, and couldn't believe that they had to cook food for themselves. Inside 'real-life Love Island' where super-rich 'drop £3k a day' and kinky clubs sweep up boozy Brits booted out from Ibiza "When it comes to a holiday, I want to be catered for", Andre said. Sam completely refused to use the shared shower and decided to fast rather than eat a breakfast of eggs on toast. Activities on the trip included volunteering with alpacas and paddle boarding, which Andre described as "holiday hell." And although the family did enjoy cuddling the animals, they were less than impressed when it came to mucking them out. Top Hacks for Holidaying with Kids IF you've got plans to go on holiday with your little ones this summer, here's some advice to take on board. Plan Ahead: Book accommodations with family-friendly amenities. Research kid-friendly attractions and activities. Make travel arrangements that accommodate your children's schedules. Pack Smart: Create a packing checklist to ensure you don't forget essentials. Pack a mix of familiar and new toys to keep kids entertained. Bring snacks, extra clothes, and emergency supplies in your carry-on. Travel Comfort: Use neck pillows and blankets for a more comfortable journey. Download movies, games, and music on tablets or phones. Schedule travel during nap times or overnight to maximise sleep. Stay Organized: Use packing cubes to keep clothes and items sorted. Keep important documents, like passports and tickets, in a dedicated folder. Utilise apps for itinerary management and navigation. Engage and Entertain: Plan interactive activities like scavenger hunts or travel journals. Explore local parks, playgrounds, and kid-friendly museums. Involve kids in trip planning to get them excited and engaged. Maintain Routine: Stick to regular meal and sleep times as much as possible. Bring along comfort items, like favorite blankets or stuffed animals. Allow for downtime to avoid overstimulation. Stay Flexible: Be prepared to adjust plans based on your children's needs and moods. Embrace the unexpected and make the most of impromptu moments. Keep a positive attitude to set the tone for a fun and memorable trip. These hacks can help make your holiday with kids smoother, more enjoyable, and will ensure that you return home with wonderful memories! "I work hard anyway, I don't need to do that when I'm on holiday", Andre fumed. The Dissont's couldn't wait to get home to their huge mansion, after admitting that their perspective on budget holidays hadn't changed. However, daughter Kasia said she enjoyed the £900 Lancashire break just as much as the £16,000 Malta getaway. The rich family showed their generous side though, by offering to pay for the Bolton-based Leafs to go on holiday to Greece. "You totally deserve it", they told the "selfless" family. In floods of tears, the grateful family said the gift was "incredible".

I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S
My winners are impossible not to wolf down in one go THE BUN WOT WON IT I tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls – the tasty winner was £1.20 cheaper than M&S CINNAMON buns are rolling in the sweet taste of more success. Waitrose recently reported a surge of 381 per cent in online searches for them. Advertisement 9 Laura Stott has tested all the supermarket cinnamon swirls Credit: Damien McFadden But if you don't want to pay over the odds for costly versions to go with your coffee in a shop, which supermarket's version is best to enjoy at home? Laura Stott tucked into a selection and gives her verdict. Danish Cinnamon Whirl x 2 , Sainsbury's bakery, £1.75 9 Sainsbury's offering seemed small compared to the others Credit: Damien McFadden SMELLING exactly as sweet and spiced as you want, sadly they are more like the Danish pastry part of their title than a traditional big bouncy bun. What you get is thinner and flatter puff pastry spirals with a brown sugar filling woven through. Advertisement read more on taste test THE LOW DOWN I tested best supermarket low alcohol booze - winning wine was like a pudding More cinnamon flavour would be welcome but what's there is evenly dispersed and the pastry is rich and buttery. Despite these positives, they seemed small compared to the others I tried and it is noticeable that they have no icing on top. Also very messy to eat as when you bite into it, the wheel shape quickly starts to unravel meaning your cake falls apart. Not very satisfying. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 'You can spend just 1p in Lidl & get free food' savvy shopper says as she nabs a bakery treat without paying every time' The Cake Shop Cinnamon Buns x2, Morrisons, £2.39 9 Morrisons' bun has way too much icing Credit: Damien McFadden VERY sweet and smothered with soft cheese icing. In fact, they are drizzled with so much topping, you can barely identify anything else. Advertisement I like icing on top but this was too much for me. It was so abundant it had dripped all over the whole pastry as well as all over the packet. Not only did it make these exceedingly messy to eat but you could barely taste the cinnamon spice that should have been the star of the show. The bits of the cake I could taste were nice enough and they are a good size, raised in the middle with a very generous serving. Advertisement But it was hard to get beyond the thick and gunky topping. Not cheap either, for supermarket own buns, these were noticeably pricey compared to others. Rating: 2/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2, Tesco, £1.80 9 The Tesco buns are generous in size with lots of height and volume Credit: Damien McFadden Advertisement VERY tasty buns from Tesco that are full of flavour. I thought they were just as enjoyable as anything you could buy from a fancy bakery. They are generous in size with lots of height and volume and covered in cream cheese icing. When you bite in they are soft, tasty and plump. Advertisement There is also a visible amount of brown sugary cinnamon running throughout and plenty of topping – but it is not so much that the treats become sickly. They are very sweet but they look lovely and smell delicious. They are a great price, too. Impossible not to wolf down in one go. Perfect with a cup of coffee in the sunshine for the cafe experience without the inflated cost. Advertisement Rating: 5/5 Cinnamon Buns x 2 Asda, £1.74 9 These are well balanced with a nice amount of icing Credit: Damien McFadden A LOVELY dark golden hue gives them that fresh bakery appeal that should start to make your mouth water. And when you tuck in, these are tasty, rich and generous with a generous portion of warming cinnamon filling, giving you a nice sugary hug for the ultimate comforting pick-me-up. Advertisement Well balanced with a nice amount of icing which is plentiful enough to ensure the buns are sticky and gooey – and there was quite a lot of the icing still stuck to the packaging! I'd happily buy these again if I fancied something sweet. Very well priced too, these won't blow the budget. Rating: 4/5 Advertisement Cinn-a-yum Buns x 6 M&S/ £3 9 These are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized Credit: Damien McFadden I LIKED the tear-and-share style of these iced buns. They are smaller individually than others but they are designed to be bite-sized, it's not that you've been offered a stingy treat. The petite size makes them ideal for parties, or if you just want something sweet without indulging in a huge cake. Advertisement The cinnamon gives a good hit of flavour and sweetness with the demerara sugar. But they were rather dry and not as sticky and gooey as I like. The icing wasn't great either, it felt like a bit of an afterthought that had been quickly added on top. Nice as a little treat, though, or for a change in place of a biscuit or pud. Advertisement Rating: 2/5 The Daily Bakery Cinnamon Buns x2, Iceland, £1.50 9 These are well-shaped buns that look very appetising and don't disappoint Credit: Damien McFadden REALLY well priced and they taste very good, too. If sweet and sticky is your idea of heaven, you will love these. Each one has loads of cinnamon powder sprinkled on top so you can really smell and taste the spice when you open the packet. Advertisement Well-shaped buns that look very appetising and they don't disappoint. The pastry is rather dense but it is not to their detriment, it just makes them a bit more filling. Absolutely packed with cinnamon sugar filling too so you get your money's worth on the flavour and there was just enough icing to give the stickiness you want without being overwhelming and gunky. Very nice and extremely affordable. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Cinnamon Bun x 1, Lidl bakery, 79p 9 Lidl's are extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing Credit: Damien McFadden DENSE and yeasty with plenty of appeal when you look at it too. Very sticky and a dark golden brown colour from a thick layer of cinnamon sugar which also gives a lovely fresh aroma. Advertisement It tasted lovely and fresh, very treacly and rich with soft pastry and a crispy outer, alongside a plump bouncy feel in the mouth. Extremely generous in size with plenty of height and a very gooey and generous icing. This was probably the biggest bun of all the ones I tried so everything is amplified, from the amount of pastry on your plate to the cinnamon flavour in each bite. Perfect with a cuppa as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Advertisement Rating: 4/5 Village Bakery Cinnamon Buns x 2, Aldi, £1.49 9 These from Aldi are very different to all the other buns Credit: Damien McFadden VERY bizarre buns. A bit different in style to most and I wasn't a huge fan of the change. They don't seem anything like traditional cinnamon buns – instead they resemble the soft wholemeal rolls you might make a cheese sarnie with. Advertisement When you bite in, they are extremely sweet, heavily flavoured with cinnamon and a cream cheese American-style frosted filling. More like an iced bun, they are very sticky and sickly and I found the similarity to a brown bap a bit disconcerting. There's no textural notes either, everything is very mushy. Although they don't have the plate appeal, if it's just an affordable sticky sweet cinnamon treat you want, they'll do the job. Advertisement Very filling, too.

Burying a £1 Tesco buy in your soil will save your plants from being suffocated by July's heavy rain showers
BETWEEN bouts of heatwaves the unpredictable weather has brought us heavy rain showers. If you're worried about the impact on your flowerbeds, a simple trick can help. Rain showers can cause the soil in your garden to become drenched, potentially drowning your plants. If you want to prevent your plant's roots from becoming suffocated in the water, burying a household item in your soil can help protect them. According to the gardening experts at you should place used matchsticks in your garden soil this summer. With heavy rain showers interrupting the otherwise sweltering summer, gardeners are being advised on the best ways to look after their plants. Handy hack 'Everybody loves a hack, especially one that saves money," said a spokesperson for "Putting these common household items to use in your garden could help to solve any issues you're having whilst saving you money as well.' One of their top recommendations involves the benefits of matchsticks for your soil. By burying used matchsticks head-down in your soil, you can help to promote plant growth due to the small amounts of phosphorus. A small level of oxidised phosphorus can help to boost root development. And the charred wood from the burned matchsticks is also somewhat porous and can help to aerate your soil. When mixed into soil, matchsticks can reduce compaction and help water drain more easily. This in turn helps to prevent waterlogging and root suffocation. And you can pick up a box of matches for just £1 from Tesco. Other issues Constant rain can also cause root rot, decaying them and turning them black, mushy, or smelly. Nutrient leaching, soil compaction, root exposure, and displacement can also result from too much water. And if you use planters and pots in your garden, make sure to opt for ones with drainage holes.
