Aldi's pop up gazebo is the best way to beat the heat and throw shade over summer

I come from a line of redheads, and so, you can imagine how I’m feeling about the current heatwave. As a result, we’ve been sun-proofing the garden to make it safe for me, my fair-skinned father, and dogs to go outside.

We’re fortunate to have a corner plot, but it also means there’s quite a large area to try and throw shade over, and as much as I love our Dunelm bistro set - the parasol doesn’t quite offer enough protection for a whole family and visiting guests.

But over the weekend we found the Gardenline pop-up gazebo in Aldi for £79.99 and it has transformed our garden into a cool, shady retreat that the whole family can enjoy.
