Garden Furniture Press Releases

Top Off your Garden with Garden Parasols from Rawgarden.co.uk

Garden parasols provide much more than just shade; they are a great way to add an elegant finishing touch to a garden, terrace or balcony. The home of the best garden furniture and accessories, Rawgarden at http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/, has one of the largest ranges of garden parasols and accessories available anywhere online. Tilting, rectangular, wall-mounted, plain canvas or coloured, with or without lights: there’s sure to be a garden parasol that’s right for your space.

British gardens don’t have a year-round need for shade (more’s the pity!), yet garden parasols are still hugely popular. That’s because while being practical in protecting against sun and light showers, parasols also pull together the look of an outdoor space, literally ‘topping off’ the area. Shelter a picnic table with a garden parasol and you can dine al fresco for longer; erect a parasol over an area of lawn and instantly section off a place for the kids to play out of the sun; put up a couple of parasols in a larger garden and inject a little café culture cool. If you live in an apartment, even the smallest overlooked balcony can quickly be made private with an attractive parasol. Quality garden parasols are more than just practical; they give your outdoor area a stylish edge.

Rawgarden has brought together a hand-picked selection of top quality garden parasols from the best manufacturers, ensuring that there’s a type and style to fit every outdoor area. Choose from teak or hardwood, 2.1m to 3.5m diameter, tilting, fixed, freestanding or wall-mounted, round or rectangular. There’s a range of colours to fit in with your existing garden furniture and you can even buy parasol lights to help you enjoy your parasol throughout the evening. Rawgarden commits to bringing its customers the best quality for the best value, with regular, year-round special offers on all garden products including garden parasols.

Coolaroo Shade Sails will Weather the British Winter

Coolaroo shade sails may hail from one of the sunniest places on earth – Australia – but that doesn’t mean that they’re not ideal for rather more wind- and rain-swept British gardens and outdoor spaces. The quality of Coolaroo shade sails is such that they can weather the harshest British winter without sacrificing their appearance or performance. That’s why leading garden furniture and accessories retailer Rawgarden (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/) makes sure that this great Aussie brand is part of its range of shade sails.

The durability of Coolaroo shade sails is down to the fact that they are made from commercial grade knitted fabric. This state-of-the-art material ensures that 90% of the sun’s harmful rays are entirely blocked out, while still allowing cool breezes to pass through. Unlike some woven shade sails, knitted Coolaroo shade sails are so durable that they won’t fray or tear. However, what’s best about these shade sails for us Brits, is the fact that they are made to withstand natural temperature extremes and moisture: a must for our less than temperate climate.

The hardwearing Coolaroo shade sails are therefore perfect for erecting in the spring or summer and leaving in place throughout the cold and wet winter months. If you are giving your outdoor area a facelift and want to get on with the project before the weather improves, you don’t have to wait to put up your Coolaroo shade sail. The all-weather protection combined with a 10 year guarantee means that you can get at least some of the work done on your new garden project before the end of winter, safe in the knowledge that your shade sail will perform perfectly for many seasons to come.

Coolaroo shade sails are just part of the range of garden accessories available at Rawgarden. Choose from triangular and square shade sails of varying sizes; tempting hammocks; tilting parasols with lights; crackling firepits and just about every piece of garden furniture that you could imagine.

Rawgarden’s Guide to Choosing Firepits

Most people know what a firepit is, because in recent years they have been popping up in gardens all over the UK. There are many different types of firepits, however, each one being suited for a slightly different purpose and some being better for gardens, some for patios, some for covered areas, etc. Here, the garden furniture and accessories expert Rawgarden (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/) discusses the many different types of firepits: their benefits, uses and multiple options.

Firepits are portable containers or permanent structures designed for having bonfires and barbecues in your garden. The popularity of firepits is due to their flexibility: they are perfect for outdoor entertaining; create an interesting focal point to your garden or patio; and provide heat, ambient lighting and an outside cooking facility. Portable firepits are also great on the move - at the beach, in the woods and on camping holidays - making your investment go a long way. Before you make your firepit purchase, make sure you choose the right one for your needs.

The first thing you should ask yourself is whether you want a firepit solely for your outdoor space at home or if you also want to be able to take it with you to other locations. If it’s a portable firepit you’re after, then you’ll need it to be easy to move, set up and take down and the chances are you’ll want to be able to cook on it and not just use it for light and warmth. A great lightweight portable firepit for cooking is the Hotspot Notebook Portable Grill. Its patented fold-open design makes it super slim and light (less than 4kg) but its grill can provide a big, hearty barbecued meal. For larger families and groups there’s also the Hotspot Carry and Go Large Grill with a larger grill area but still under 5kg in weight.

If you’re looking for a cool addition to your garden and a new way to entertain, then the Rawgarden Reflection Firepit is just the thing. Its striking square shape and reflective sides make for a real talking point and its durability means it can withstand high temperatures, allowing you to keep it burning throughout the longest of parties. If you want the same ‘wow’ factor but are worried about children or pets or you live in an area where fires are frowned upon, then the Safety 68 Firepit is ideal. It features a steel spark guard and perimeter safety ring for added safety, but is still beautiful to behold and practical for outdoor cooking.

Perhaps you like the idea of featuring fire in your outdoor area but are a little more traditional at heart. Why not bring the fireplace outside with an elegant Autumn Steel Fireplace, providing the warmth and comfort of sitting around leaping flames in the open air. However, if you’re more of a camping lover than a homebody, the Bon-Fire Starter Set allows you to grill and boil at the same time, creating impressive meals while retaining that camp-side feel even in your own back yard.

These are just some of the myriad ways firepits can add to your life, both at home and on the go. Before you decide which type is right for you and your family and friends take a browse through the entire firepits range at http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/.

Chestnuts are Roasting on Open Fire Pits at Rawgarden.co.uk this Christmas

Not many people are lucky enough to have an open fire in their home to roast their chestnuts on at Christmas time, which is a shame because a crackling real fire is a fantastic, cosy focus for the festivities. Now everyone can have that real fire experience at Christmas thanks to fire pits at Rawgarden.co.uk (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/). The leading retailer of garden furniture and accessories has one of the widest ranges of fire pits available, and because many of them are currently reduced in price, they won’t break your Christmas budget.

Firepits have become hugely popular due to their versatility (they are great for cooking, as a heat source and for ambient lighting) and their value, starting at as little as £25.99 from quality retailers such as Rawgarden. They are a great way of creating a focal point at any party throughout the year (humans and animals alike naturally gravitate to an open fire!), but what better way of getting into that Christmas spirit than gathering your loved ones around to roast chestnuts over a warming fire pit and sip some mulled wine?

This year, add another dimension to your Christmas party with a firepit in the garden or on the terrace. Not only is it a great winter warmer, allowing you to use your outside space even in the cold, but it’s a great talking point at a party. Christmas is all about bringing people together after all, and there’s nothing like a roaring fire pit to get people flocking, whether to warm their hands or to treat themselves to another moreish marshmallow.

There’s a great choice of fire pits available at Rawgarden.co.uk, from the budget to the deluxe, some currently on sale at a massive 38% reduction. There are also fire pit accessories such as all-weather covers and parasol patio heaters with lights.

Rawgarden is the home of the highest quality garden furniture and accessories at the best prices. Choose from barbecues and benches, shade sails and sun loungers, picnic tables and parasols; in fact just about anything you could possibly need for your outdoor area. Visit http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/ to see the full range.

Rawgarden.co.uk: The First Choice for Pub Garden Furniture

The pub trade has one clear first choice when it comes to sourcing great quality pub garden furniture at the best prices: Rawgarden.co.uk. Rawgarden is well regarded in both the commercial and domestic sectors due to its commitment to using the finest materials and manufacturing processes for its garden furniture, at some of the lowest prices available on the market. Commercial customers, such as those in the pub, bar and restaurant trades can furnish an entire outside area for less, thanks to Rawgarden’s discounts on bulk orders.

Every pub with a garden should have enough pub garden furniture to maximise the outdoor seating space in order to increase revenue in the milder weather. British pub gardens are one of the first ports of call when the sun breaks through, even in mild winters, but the smoking ban has seen pub gardens fill up with ostracized smokers even in the depths of winter. Publicans that cater to this demand for year-round garden furniture get to broaden their customer base throughout the seasons and keep both smokers and non-smokers as regular customers. However, adequately kitting out such areas can be costly, and choosing poor quality manufacturers is a false economy when the harsh weather takes its toll and the cheap garden furniture needs to be replaced in only a year or two.

Rawgarden realises that when commercial customers buy garden furniture in bulk they are investing in their business, and that both quality and value for money are paramount. Rawgarden specialises in garden furniture that is built to last and which will weather all sorts of conditions with a minimum of care and upkeep. The company’s picnic tables and picnic benches, garden benches and garden parasols and range of bistro-style café furniture are all made from the best possible materials and, in the case of wooden products, manufactured in wood derived from well-managed forests and sustainable sources. The Rawgarden website even features a handy care guide which shows commercial customers that keeping their investment in top condition for years to come is both simple and cheap.

Finally, Rawgarden appeals to publicans, and indeed to all of us, where it matters most: the bottom line. Both trade and domestic customers who purchase picnic tables and/or benches in quantities of five or more get savings of up to 25%.

Protect Throughout the Year with Garden Furniture Covers from Rawgarden.co.uk

Garden furniture runs the risk of being neglected in the winter months as it can be a case of “out of sight, out of mind”. Spending less time outdoors sometimes makes us forget to properly care for our garden furniture and accessories once the inclement weather arrives. Protect your garden furniture throughout the year with garden furniture covers from Rawgarden.co.uk; there is a cover in the Rawgarden range for just about every piece of garden kit, all at great prices.

All of your garden furniture and accessories risk weather damage in the harsher winter months, from your parasol and picnic table to your barbecue or firepit. Buying your garden furniture from a quality retailer such as Rawgarden ensures the longest life span of the furniture possible. However, even quality pieces such as these can suffer damage over the years if left out in heavy rain, winds and frost. The Rawgarden website has a helpful furniture care guide to help you ensure that your furniture is well-maintained all year-round, but for extra protection in the winter months choose a garden furniture cover that will snugly encase your furniture and keep it looking and performing its best when the weather improves.

Choose from covers for your wooden furniture, such as garden bench, sun lounger or garden table covers; protective covers for fire pits and barbecues; even specialist patio furniture covers, over bean bags for instance. Whatever beautiful furniture or great gadgets you have for your garden, there’s bound to be something from Rawgarden that literally fits the bill; amply protecting it against the damage of bad weather. And as all the garden furniture covers are made from high-quality and attractive materials, just as you would expect from Rawgarden products, your garden will still look great even when furniture is safely put away for the season.

What Could a Shade Sail do for Your Outside Space?

Shade sails are the hot new garden accessory. Not only do they provide versatile and practical shade solutions, but they also inject style into your outdoor area. The range of shade sails at Rawgarden.co.uk is evidence of the wide variety available. When you see the different shapes and sizes on offer and the types of spaces they can cover, from compact terraces to sprawling car ports, you wonder how we ever did without the simple yet chic shade sail.

In case you are one of the very few who are still unfamiliar with this popular product, shade sails are the latest way to shade any outdoor space. They may seem relatively new in the UK, with more and more houses, pubs and restaurants using this attractive and practical alternative to parasols and awnings, but they were developed in Australia 25 years ago as a way to filter out harmful UV rays from the sun. This is another way that shade sails – now available the world over – go over and above the humble garden umbrella. Shade sails not only block out harsh heat and glaring light, but they also effectively cut up to 95% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Perhaps you want to enjoy your garden for longer in the summer months and are looking for a standard square shade sail; or maybe you want one of the striking triangular shade sails to off-set your modern outdoor furniture; or you could be concerned about your children’s exposure to the sun when playing in the paddling pool. Whatever your requirements for your outdoor space, there is a durable, versatile and striking shade sail that will provide all the shade and protection you could want. Rawgarden stocks only the best shade sail manufacturers – Coolaroo and Shade-A-Ray – both companies providing shade sails made from tough, weather-resistant, non-fade commercial grade fabric.

Fire Pits: Campfire Cosiness for Year-Round Outdoor Living

Fire pits are the newest must-have garden accessory, not least because they allow you to continue outdoor living and entertaining in the colder months. Who doesn’t love that campfire atmosphere? Fire pits are a great way to get that cosy campfire feeling in your own backyard and make the most of your outdoor space when the weather turns wintry. Rawgarden.co.uk, quality garden furniture and accessories retailer, has one of the best ranges of fire pits available online, with one to suit every outdoor space.

A fire pit is such a fantastic addition to the garden, you wonder how you ever did without one. They are of course a great source of heat, allowing you to enjoy your garden or decking in autumn and winter, but you can also cook on many of them, from simple marshmallows to full meals. Barbecues need not just be for the summer months; fire pits with large grills can cook up a feast. And warming yourself around an outdoor fire and cooking sausages under the stars need not just be for Bonfire Night; channel that cosy feeling as soon as the clocks go back in your own garden with a tripod Bon-Fire fire pit.

Fire pits are also a great source of ambient lighting for your outdoor area. Light up a fire pit and your guests will gravitate outside to enjoy the garden or terrace lit warmly by the fire. Even the smallest patch of lawn is elevated to chic with a few candles, some fairy lights and a crackling fire pit. And because it’s wonderfully relaxing to simply stare hypnotically into the flames, you’ll find yourself lighting your fire pit even if it’s just you and the dog there to enjoy the campfire atmosphere.

At Rawgarden.co.uk you can choose from Urban fire pits to co-ordinate with a modern and minimalist home decoration, or Steel Fireplace fire pits for a more traditional look. If you like the cooking aspect of fire pits then a grill style may be best for you, but if it’s primarily a heat and light source that you’re looking for, then the Rawgarden Reflection Fire Pit is perfect. Visit www.rawgarden.co.uk and stir the embers of your imagination as to how you could use a fire pit.

Rawgarden is a retailer of top-quality garden furniture and accessories; everything you could need for your outdoor area, from garden benches and gazebos to sun loungers and garden parasols.

Create an Outdoor Room with a Gazebo from Rawgarden

Most of us have limited space in our homes, which makes outdoor entertaining a great option in the summer months. But while summer’s over and autumn is upon us, there’s no need to pack away the garden furniture quite yet. You can continue entertaining in your garden even in uncertain weather by creating an outdoor room with a gazebo from Rawgarden.co.uk.

Gazebos are a perfect way of creating another room in which to entertain or simply for family relaxation. A compact 3x3m or 4x3m gazebo is great for covering barbecues and garden furniture to provide shade or protection from a sudden shower. The deluxe versions of the 3x3m and 4x3m gazebos are ideal for a more special occasion or for showcasing a beautiful set of garden furniture, thanks to elegant tie-back side curtains. Rawgarden has a wide range of gazebos: from those compact enough to create an outside room in a garden with limited space, to those spacious and grand enough to hold a wedding reception.

Not only are gazebos a great way of creating extra space for your family and guests throughout the changing seasons, but they’re also incredibly easy to maintain. All of the gazebos available at Rawgarden are made to the highest standards; the quality of the materials and manufacturing means that all they need for a long life is to be kept clean and waterproofed. Brush the hard-wearing fabric down to remove any leaves and debris and then simply wash with warm soapy water and a clean brush. After a few seasons, you should check if the fabric is still waterproofed by pouring water onto it; the water will roll off in beads if it is, or soak in if not. Maintaining the waterproofing is also straightforward: clean down the fabric and apply a reproofing solution.

Simple maintenance such as this is all it takes to have an outdoor room that you can use from season to season, whether for simple family meals or large and lavish parties. To view the full range of gazebos, as well as the entire Rawgarden range, including garden benches, sun loungers, picnic tables and much more, visit www.rawgarden.co.uk.

Barbecue Maintenance Tips from Rawgarden.co.uk

It’s a sad fact that in the UK our barbecues can spend more time under cover than in use, thanks to our unpredictable climate. Rawgarden.co.uk, the leading website from which to buy barbecues and garden furniture, has tips on how you can you ensure your barbecue is in tip-top condition no matter how long it has languished under cover.

The first thing to ensure is that your barbecue is kept clean all year-round. Too many people rely on the heat from the coals to burn off the residue of food and fat from the last time the barbecue was used – disgusting but true! Not only is this unhygienic and a potential hotbed for germs, but it’s also going to do no good for the long-term maintenance of your barbecue. Relying on the heat of the barbecue to burn off food remains does work, but only directly after you have used it to cook that food. Allowing it to cool and storing it away with the residue still on the grate will make it very difficult to remove by heat alone next time.

Clean the grates of charcoal barbecues as soon as the coals have died down, when the grate is still warm. Then you can use a brass grill brush to clear off any food remains before washing the grate with warm soapy water. The grates of gas barbecues should be brushed down in the same way, but as you will also need to brush down the flavouriser bars, you will need a long-handled barbecue brush to protect your hands from the heat as you clean. It’s best to put oil on the grill once it has heated up to avoid the food sticking to it in the first place.

Don’t forget to also clean the burner tubes of any residue, using a steel brush and only cleaning upwards and downwards. This will help the burners to maintain an even heat. The bottom tray of your barbecue collects the most grease so use a plastic scraper to clear the build-up each time it is used before washing it with warm soapy water. Work surfaces and warming racks should not be forgotten either; a fine steel wool scouring pad works wonders on warming racks but be careful not to scratch any porcelain areas on control panels, etc. Never use abrasive pads such as these on stainless steel areas as they are too harsh and will scratch the surface. Finally, wipe off any grease or marks from the body of the barbecue, not forgetting the inside of the lid and places that are hard to reach. Grease left on the body of the barbecue over time can damage the paintwork. Never use oven cleaner as this can also harm the paintwork. After each use, charcoal barbecues should always be emptied of ashes once they have cooled down, as the ash absorbs moisture which can cause the barbecue to rust.

Once you have ensured that your barbecue is completely clean for its next use, don’t spoil all of your careful maintenance by storing it improperly. Barbecues need to be kept away from any moist conditions at all if you are to avoid rust, so not only should you ensure that it is in a covered area (ideally a garage or shed) but also that it is in a weather cover. Rawgarden.co.uk features a range of garden furniture covers including barbecue weather covers, as well as barbecue cleaning equipment and barbecue accessories. Stock up on the right cleaning and maintenance equipment and follow this care guide and your barbecue will perform fantastically for years to come and at the drop of the hat - as soon as the sun comes out!

Rawgarden is not only the best place to buy bbqs and the accessories to keep them in great condition, but it is the premier online resource for everything you could want to make the most out of your outside space, from sun loungers and garden parasols to picnic tables and garden benches.

Garden Furniture Care Guide from Rawgarden.co.uk

Garden furniture and accessories retailer, Rawgarden (www.rawgarden.co.uk), has built up a name that has become synonymous with quality. The company is committed to bringing its customers, whether the general public or businesses, the finest quality products that stand the test of time. However, all garden furniture can benefit from a little tender loving care; here Rawgarden shares some tips on caring for your outdoor furniture.

How you care for your garden furniture depends on the materials from which it is made. Picnic tables made from teak, for instance, are hard-wearing and easy to maintain without the need for preservative treatments. They will wear well even when left outside throughout the changing seasons, although they will change colour naturally. Should you want to keep any piece of furniture made from teak in its original colour of golden brown, you need only apply a teak protector, but if you are happy with the naturally mellowing colour, then a simple wash-down occasionally will suffice.
Choose picnic tables or garden benches in Rawgarden’s own-brand Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified pine and you are sure of similar durability and strength. This is thanks to the timber being pre-treated to category 3 before being kiln-dried, resulting in a life span of over a decade. You can increase the life of your Rawgarden pine garden furniture even further by simply applying a wood sealant or protector once a year. Pine timber naturally weathers and cracks with age, but this merely adds to its character and does not affect the strength or life span of the piece of furniture in any way.

For the ultimate in durability and easy-care, there’s aluminium furniture. Aluminium café furniture and cast aluminium sun loungers are strong, resistant to rust and corrosion and light enough to be easy stacked. This, combined with the fact that they can be left outside all year long, makes aluminium a very popular material for garden furniture, particularly for pubs, cafés and restaurants, but it’s an equally good option for those looking for low maintenance furniture for their garden. The most attention aluminium furniture will need over the years is a possible re-painting of a rustproof coating.
If for any reason you are still worried about your garden furniture being left outside in all weathers, or if you simply want to keep it clean between uses, then take a look at the garden furniture covers at

Rawgarden.co.uk, each specifically designed to cover barbecues, benches, tables, fire pits or garden parasols.

How Green is Your Garden Furniture?

We’re all trying to do our bit for the environment these days and most of us try to consider the origin and impact of the goods we buy on the world around us. In reality, we tend to check where our food, clothes and perhaps cosmetics come from and what ingredients or materials were used, far more often than our furniture. This should not be the case, especially when it comes to garden furniture, given the amount of wooden material used in garden furniture in an age of diminishing forests. Rawgarden (www.rawgarden.co.uk), the leading online retailer of garden furniture and accessories, urges you to ask: “How green is your garden furniture?”

A good deal of garden furniture is made from some sort of wood: from picnic tables, garden benches and tables to sun loungers and garden parasols. Consider the words of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC): “Every year an area half the size of the UK is cleared of natural forests: temperate and tropical, North and South and on every continent. These forests, which once covered half of the planet, are irreplaceable and their loss has profound economic, social and environmental impacts…The products of this illegal trade can be found throughout the UK, from building sites to private homes. We think this is unacceptable and we exist to make sure people can buy timber and wood products with the confidence that they are contributing towards safeguarding the world’s forests.”
It can be difficult to work out the origins of your existing garden furniture when asking yourself how green it is. Simpler then to follow the FSC’s advice and buy all your future garden furniture from a company with an FSC Chain of Custody certification; a company such as Rawgarden. As the FSC says itself, “This system allows consumers to identify, purchase and use timber and forest products produced from well-managed forests.”

Rawgarden is committed to using sustainable timber from managed plantations and, wherever possible, FSC certified wood. On the comprehensive and easy-to-use Rawgarden website, you can clearly see products made from FSC certified wood: simply look for the FSC’s “tick tree” logo and you’ll know that purchasing that product will not contribute to the destruction of the world’s forests. Rawgarden not only stocks a wide range of top-brand FSC certified products, but also designs and manufactures its own-brand range of furniture and equipment that also proudly boasts FSC logos - further commitment of the company’s green ethos.

Considering the environment need not mean compromising on quality or style.

Make the Most Out of Summer with Garden Furniture from Rawgarden.co.uk

Talk of the long, hot ‘barbecue summer’ may have been a little overstated, but we are certainly having our fair share of beautifully sunny weekends in the UK. However, who knows when autumn will decide to quicken its advance and draw summer to an end, so make the most out of what summer we do have here in the UK by updating your garden furniture, accessories and barbecues at Rawgarden.co.uk.

With more people staying at home given this difficult economic climate, why not make a small investment in a new barbecue, some updated garden furniture or accessories and then save money by staying at home and enjoying your own back garden this summer? The Rawgarden website has a plethora of products that are bound to make your tired plastic furniture or lonely garden bench pale in comparison. Let Rawgarden inspire you to turn your garden into another room of the house.

Picnic tables are a great way to encourage the family to eat al fresco, as well as perfect for outdoor parties, with garden parasols providing some shade to protect the ice in your Pimms or the chill of your cold beer. Carry the meal or party on through the night or even into the colder autumn season with a parasol patio heater and light. Sun loungers are a must for those wanting to catch a few rays, but also provide extra seating for garden get-togethers, while garden benches are an elegant touch dotted around the lawn and can provide interest when positioned further down the garden.

Barbecues are ubiquitous for a British summer of course, and the choice at Rawgarden is unrivalled. From the smallest portable barbecue to the awesome ‘Napoleon Prestige’ with its 7458 cm² cooking area, buy barbecues at Rawgarden and you’re sure to be overtaking ‘The Joneses’ rather than keeping up with them! And to bring your garden bang up to date, how about a fire pit? Fire pits are hugely fashionable right now, especially for urban gardens. Get the feeling of a real fire out on your patio with a fire pit and you’ll bring atmospheric light and heat to your garden.

With this much choice of inspiring garden goodies, fingers crossed for a mild autumn and winter so we can enjoy our Rawgarden garden furniture throughout the year! View the whole range at www.rawgarden.co.uk.

Rawgarden’s Gazebos: Perfect for the Beach

Think of a gazebo and you probably think of a wedding, a garden party or a covered area for your garden. But have you considered how perfect they are for the beach? Not only do they protect from the sun and are perfect wind breakers, their generous size creates your very own private and shady area of the beach, allowing you to enjoy your day by the sea for hours longer. The gazebos available on the Rawgarden website (http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/) are great beach gazebos: portable and great value.

We all love to be beside the seaside, as the old song goes, but in reality our days at the beach are often much shorter than we imagine they will be. Whether it’s because we’re worrying about the strength of the sun, the threat of a light shower or a sudden bracing wind, or the fact that we’re hungry and thirsty and decide to decamp to the nearest café; we often cut short our time beside the seaside. We should take a leaf out of our Mediterranean neighbours’ books and get far more organised when it comes to our day at the beach - just a little pre-planning and one affordable and light-weight gazebo can make all the difference.

The French, Spanish and Italians take their beach-time seriously. It’s a family affair, with large groups gathered around cool boxes filled with drinks and snacks and games and radios being played: get-togethers that can go on for hours (sometimes well into the evening). While you’ll see some beach-goers using parasols, real beach-lovers in Europe – ones who want to make the very most out of their time by the sea – bring their own gazebos. Look along most European beaches and you’ll see a good few gazebos dotted along the shoreline sheltering families or groups of friends and providing a home away from home by the water’s edge.

Beach gazebos are arguably even more suitable for English beach breaks, however, as with a gazebo the unreliable weather is no longer a stumbling block to a perfect beach day. Simply bring a gazebo with roll-up fabric walls with you and you can get cosy with the walls rolled down if the weather is showery or breezy and roll them up when the sun finally breaks through.

Rawgarden has one of the best ranges of gazebos available online, starting from just £149.99. While you’ll find deluxe gazebos fit for the fanciest wedding, there’s also a number of smaller, lightweight and easier to assemble models – just the thing for transforming your beach holidays. See the range of gazebos and garden furniture at http://www.rawgarden.co.uk/.
