TAKE ADVANTAGE
We have so few truly glorious summer days that when the sun does shine it’s a shame to hide away when the heat is at its maximum, or disappear indoors when the cool of evening draws in. A gazebo that won’t tip over at the slightest breath and looks really rather summer-smart is just the answer. This one is made from aluminum and designed to fit your patio space to perfection.
Maranza vented gazebo, from £3,999.99, sunslifestyle.com
NIGHT LIGHT
Cast a soft glow of contentment across your perfectly manicured lawns and bee-friendly flower beds. Outdoor lighting should set the ambiance and be as convenient and as mobile as you need it to be. With no need for a power source other than Mr. Sunshine himself, these rather beautiful lamps will light the way to many an alfresco evening.
