Are you sitt ing com for tably? BBQ like a Boss
Sit down Now you have a beautifully landscaped
garden with an amazing deck you need somewhere to sit to fully enjoy your garden – get this right and you are ready to kick back and relax. It's worth thinking about whether you are going to be entraining and how many you want to seat on a regular basis. It's no good putting in all this effort to make your garden look fab just to have to rummage around in the garage to fi nd the old camping chairs you occasionally use when hubby drags you off to a wet and windy Sunday league match – by the way it's worth noting at this stage that there is a big football tournament happening between the 11 June-11 July this summer so you may need a quiet sanctuary in the garden to retreat to. It is always worth spending a little
more on the garden furniture, many of the lower end price range can feel a little fl imsy and may not last as long as you might have hoped, so it works out cheaper in the long run to invest in something a little more substantial. The full luxury look will come when
you start to add in your personal touches like cushions. Big splashes of colour will help to tie in with the colours of your garden. If you really want to look like the queen of coordination think about the colours of the fl owers and plants you planted earlier in the year.

Under my umbrella We all need to be aware of the
damage the sun can cause to our skin if we are not careful, so we need to create shaded areas. You can build in summer houses or add a pagoda to bring a shaded area to your garden but for a more versatile and cost effective
option there are some great umbrella options on the market these days which are a long way from the old Fosters branded brollies from beer gardens of old.

Fire-starter Fire pit or chimenea? Both options are
great for the garden, but the fi re pit is the current front runner if you want to be on-trend. You can always build your own if you are feeling creative, just remember whatever you do be careful and be respectful with fi re.

The big debate is... charcoal or gas? Arguments about this normally trundle on into the wee hours, but let's be honest, there's no right or wrong answer here and it is just down to personal choice. Each has their own advantages. Gas has that control-ability and is less of a faff to clean. Charcoal arguably gives a smokier fl avour and has more of a sense of occasion; who doesn't love building a fi re? Here are a few options to get you bbq'ing like a pro.
