Outdoor kitchens

Having an outdoor kitchen means you don’t have to traipse in and out of the house to prepare the barbecue food. You don’t have to buy a costly ready-made version though, simply use an old table or potting bench as your workstation and add hooks and shelves to your fence or wall to keep your utensils close to hand. Cuprinol Garden Shades in Old English Green, £21 for 2.5ltr, B&Q

Pergolas

Pergolas are an affordable and easy way to create an outdoor entertaining zone. Decorate it with hanging baskets and climbing plants to help it blend in, or add a colourful canvas canopy, some lights or bunting. 10 clear, micro battery festoon lights, £29.99, Lights4fun
