Whether you’re looking for a log burner (£69.99, Aldi.co.uk) to keep the chill away when the sun’s gone down, or rope effect snug seat (£249.99, Aldi.co.uk) to while away the hours on with a book, it really has it all.

In the unlikely event you don’t find the thing you’re looking for, the retailer is adding new lines weekly, so there’s bound to be something for you.

Gardenline outdoor log burner: £69.99, Aldi.co.uk
With outdoor heaters and log burners hot commodities during the spring and summer months, Aldi’s happily affordable option is one to consider. Its said to be easy to assemble and the contemporary, industrial design is one that is likely to add a statement to your outdoor space. It offers an ideal way to extend the amount of time you can spend enjoying your garden.

Gardenline rope effect snug seat: £249.99, Aldi.co.uk
Should your idea of a great day be sitting in the sunshine reading your book, this seat looks like a great option for enabling you to do just that. The rope effect is very on-trend, and in terms of practicality, the cushion covers are removable, meaning you can wash them should they get dirty. If you don’t quite have enough space for this one, or perhaps you are looking for something to complement it, take a look at the matching rocking chair (£129.99, Aldi.co.uk).
Gardenline compact bistro set: £189.99, Aldi.co.uk
If you’ve managed to get your hands on one of Aldi’s ceramic egg barbecues (£399.99, Aldi.co.uk) and you’re now in need of a seating area, look no further than this bistro set, which will set you back you just £189.99. It has a wicker design with a glass top for a sturdy finish, and the chairs slot perfectly underneath.
Gardenline wicker effect bistro set: £199.99, Aldi.co.uk
Another super affordable, yet chic bistro set. This time in a light coloured wicker, contrasted with white cushions. Owing to being compact, this is bound to liven up even the smallest of outdoor spaces. It would likely make a great place to sit and enjoy some snacks and drinks of an evening.
