The UK is set for a scorcher as temperatures soar to highs of 34C.
That only means it’s destination: garden, for the rest of the weekend.
But all that sunshine has only brought to light how tired and drab your old garden gear is looking.
So with temperatures rising higher than the Sahara desert, it may be high time for a back-yard makeover.
Just don’t let the heat make you rush to splash out on the first bargain you spot. Have a shop around first.
Price-pitting tools like Google Shopping will help you weigh up everything that’s out there, and compare the costs to find the best deal.
And remember that you’ll only make a saving if you were planning on forking-out in the first place.

It’s not much of a steal if you weren’t prepared to spend the 300 odd quid on that new Tiki bar to start with.
With that in mind, here’s all the best heatwave sales from BBQs to pools, and more.
The Range – 6ft paddling pool
- Was: £24.99 Now: £18.74 Save: £6.25 – buy now
9
There’s nothing better than a splash about to cool off in a heatwave, and roasting Brits can do it at a fraction of the price thanks to sale items at The Range.
Its 6ft pool has had over £6 knocked off the price, making it under £20 to buy.
The garden accessory is a “self-forced” swimming pool – which means you only need to inflate the top ring to get it standing up on the grass.
Once you’ve got that bit blown up, simply fill the pool with water to make the walls rise.
Then, with cozzies at the ready, you are all set to take a dip.
Argos – sun lounger
- Was: £38 Now: £25 Save: £13 – buy now

The bravest of pasty Brits will be looking to soak up as many of the sun’s rays this weekend as possible – with SPF of course.
But to complete the tan topping-task, you’ll need a new lounger to kick back on.
Argos has knocked £13 off the price of ones of its cheapest, meaning you can keep a few extra pennies in your pocket.
The lightweight powder-coated frame folds in seconds and the fabric is wipe clean – so need to worry about any little spills of sun cream or drinks.
It’s got three reclining positions and carries weigh up to 110kg.
Robert Dyas – grill BBQ
- Was: £59.99 Now: £49.99 Save: £10 – buy now

Plenty of households will be using this weekend as an excuse to get their grill on.
But it might be time to upgrade the dusty BBQ that’s been siting in the shed with only spiders for company since last year.
Shoppers can save a tenner in Robert Dyas’ sale, with a spanking new bit of kit for just £49.99.
Its Landmann Charcoal Kettle barbecue has undergone the impressive reduction, while providing everything you need to cook up an al fresco meal for friends and family.
With a 43cm diameter cooking grill, you have plenty of space to cook a variety of meats and veg, and thanks to the removable ash catcher and stainless steel grill, this BBQ is easy to clean afterwards too.
You just need lump wood charcoal or briquettes to fire away.
Aldi – square fire pit
- Was: £89.99 Now: £69.99 Save: £20 – buy now
9
Staying hot, shoppers can splurge on a budget fire pit too.
Especially if they shop at Aldi, as the bargain retailer has slashed £20 off the price of its outdoor gear.
It may be roasting through the day, but as the night draws on you might need a flame or two to keep warm, so the Specialbuy perfectly suits.
It’s designed with a spark cover and also includes a poker and mesh cover for safer enjoyment as well.
Just be careful with where you decide to home it, as the Gardenline fire pit needs a nice open and airy space to work properly and safely.
B&M – hanging egg chair
9
Another garden deal you won’t want to hang-about-for comes straight from bargain heavy-weight, B&M.
Its Island Paradise egg chair has been reduced by £50 in time for the heatwave.
It only seats one, so you won’t be sharing the sun-trap with any company this weekend.
But the smooth rocking action of the hanging chair, as you hunker down into its comfortable seat cushion, will have you drifting off in the sunshine in no time.
B&M – Lay-Z-Spa hot tub
- Was: £400 Now: £220 Save: £180 – buy now

Shoppers can find even more bargains at B&M as the store also has some of the cheapest hot tubs on the market on sale right now.
Its lowest offer is only £220 – a steal to splash out on.
Especially as that price has been knocked down more than once before.
Originally the four person tub cost £400 to buy.
Then the bargains store slashed the full price of the tub down to £350.
Before long it saw another reduction down to £250, and now it’s even cheaper with another £30 off the price.
That’s a lot of price-cuts to wrap your head around in this heat, so all you need to know is there’s a whopping £180 saving to be made on the bubbly tub right now.
Argos – garden Tiki bar

At Club Tropicana, drinks are free – or at least they are when you’ve managed to save a whopping £80 on your initial Tiki bar splurge.
