Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items. And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. And always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback. 2

Moment Jeremy Clarkson's controversial £40,000 pub umbrellas SOAK the decking at The Farmer's Dog pub
This is the moment water collected in Jeremy Clarkson 's controversial £40,000 gazebo soaked the decking at The Farmer's Dog pub. Punters drinking outside his famous watering hole in Asthall, Oxfordshire, watched as staff struggled to drain huge pools of rain water in the umbrella system. The former Top Gear host, 65, clashed with pub experts Sue and Rachel Hawkins over the pricey outdoor addition on the Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm. He was originally against the umbrellas for his decking area over worries they would block the view for guests, but eventually agreed to have them. However, they seem to be creating issues as rain water collects in the material with no system in place to drain it out. Footage shows workers scrambling to drain some of the water as they got splashed in the process. They then attempted to contain and redirect some of the liquid away from the heads of people nearby. Customers can be seen standing awkwardly holding their pints after their visit was interrupted by the fiasco, apart from one man who seemed unphased as he tucked into his meal. They then attempted to contain and redirect some of the liquid away from the heads of people nearby A couple then jumped up out of their seats and ran to the other side of the garden to dodge the splash zone. Wez Marlow, 41, visited The Farmer's Dog in Asthall, Oxfordshire, last Thursday for his birthday. He captured footage of a torrential downpour which created the huge pools of water in the gazebo. 'Once the channels between them are sorted then yes they will be worth the investment. They the make the decking area usable all year round,' Mr Marlow said. 'Fortunately, it didn't ruin our experience there, we found the food was really good.'

Chuffed shopper snaps up ‘huge' £20 gazebo in her local supermarket & it's perfect for staying cool on warm days
WE all want to enjoy our gardens now that the weather is warmer. But sitting outside on sunny days can end up leaving you hot and bothered. 2 2 So one woman was delighted when she came across a gazebo in her local supermarket for just £20. Not only that, but the shelter is big enough for numerous people to sit beneath. Bev took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her epic find. Alongside a snap of the gazebo up in her garden, she wrote: "Got this gazebo for £20 in Morrisons. "Right bargain - it's huge!" The comments section was immediately filled with people saying they needed to nab one of the gazebos. "Oh, I'd love this in my garden!" one wrote. "Is it a pop up one & does it have sides?" another questioned. With someone else replying: "No and no". However, when another asked Bev if it's "easy to put up", she replied with "Yes, very!". "Could be handy for parties," someone else suggested. Another said it would be good to put over a paddling pool to keep kids protected from the sun. And when someone else questioned whether the gazebo was £20 on sale, Bev replied by saying that's its "original price". As anyone who lives in England knows, rain is probably just around the corner. And if you're someone who likes to whip out the barbecue at the first sign of sunshine, the Morrisons gazebo is a good way to ensure the al fresco meal still goes ahead - rain or shine. While Bev didn't give any details about the size of the gazebo she picked up, the pros at home & garden furniture specialists Vonhaus have some helpful pointers about what dimensions you need to have for a rainy day BBQ. How to save at Morrisons Buying a delivery pass can slash the cost of shopping online if you're a Morrisons regular. You also get priorities for Christmas delivery slots. How much it costs depends on which you get anytime or mid-week, and if it's for the year, six-months or monthly. You'll need to work out the cost compared to how much you spend on delivery without one to see if it's worthwhile. Morrisons does a range of wonky veg that can work out cheaper than the main range. Check websites like Quidco and TopCashback BEFORE you place your order. Cashback websites PAY you to shop.

"A 2m x 2m gazebo will be enough to cover your cooking station comfortably, while a more capacious 3m x 3m is a sage choice for larger soirees," they said. "The best canopies are fully waterproof and made from materials like PVC, polyester, or coated fabric. "They can also provide welcome shade on sunnier days and UV protection from sun rays." It's also important to make sure the gazebo is positioned high enough over the barbecue to avoid any unfortunate accidents. And make sure that the area is well ventilated too.
