Five excellent cheap buys to make the most of your garden in Autumn
THE sun may have set on summer but there’s still time to enjoy your garden.
With a few cheap buys, you can get outdoors well into autumn.
And by purchasing now, instead of the warmer months, there are bargains to be had
WATCH THE BIRDIE: It is a great time to watch wildlife. Splash out on a bird bath or feeder to encourage feathered friends into your garden.
Head to Robert Dyas for a good range of feeding stations and bird baths, some with money off, as well as bird seeds and balls.
You could set up a garden haven for wildlife from as little as £5.
LET THERE BE LIGHT: Decorate your fences, bushes or shrubs with outdoor fairy lights or larger strings of bulbs.
Shop around for deals. Habitat has some good reductions on outdoor lights.
PLAY DAYS: Little ones love to play out, whatever the weather
Toddler slides, tunnels and mini trampolines can be enjoyed throughout the autumn months, and be wiped down and brought inside when the weather really turns.
Have a look at Argos for offers including a Chad Valley indoor and outdoor trampoline, down from £60 to £45.
PICK OF THE PITS: A fire pit or chiminea will keep you toasty as the weather cools, giving you the chance to enjoy more autumnal evenings out in the fresh air.
Shop around and not always at the most obvious places. JD Williams and George at Asda have some good deals on fire pits.
For extra outdoor heat, consider a patio heater. Head to The Range for options to suit different budgets, starting from £29.99 for a free-standing heater.
SPLASH OUT: A hot tub will tempt you into the garden no matter how chilly it is. You can shop around for deals, with reductions at B&Q, Robert Dyas and Homebase.
Check their price history on a site such as Kelkoo or PriceRunner to be sure you are getting a good deal.
