It is time to check out outdoor garden furniture from parasols to heaters ahead of summer barbecue season.

Lazy summer days lounging in the garden with the family while burgers sizzle on the barbecue bring a sense of the outdoors to any home. Making the most of the season can be far cheaper than a holiday while bringing an al fresco flavour of the Med or faraway shores back here in blighty.

We have a guide to some of the most desirable and top-rated outdoor items and lifestyle accessories at Dunelm to help transform the back yard into a Summer oasis. It comes as shoppers are able to get £10 back at the home decor store as part of a new cash-saving deal, which we explain how to get below.

From fire pits to parasols, cushions and loungers, this round-up highlights must-haves to suit all budgets that will make you itching to get outside.

How to get £10 cashback at Dunelm

The Dunelm money back deal is being offered by TopCashback website. Signing up for free with a classic account won’t cost anything and allows a shopper to get £10 cashback when they spend over £10 at Dunelm.

It’s part of TopCashback’s Dunelm New and Selected Member Deal here but remember to pick the classic account when signing up. Picking the alternative Plus account has a £5 charge for the year from your cashback, but does open up other benefits that you may want to look into.

TopCashback said that its “average member earns over £300 cashback a year”, so it may be worth checking out other offers when you register. The company also explains that while the Dunelm cashback appears on the ‘Earnings page’ within a week of buying an item, the shopper won’t be able to withdraw it until the returns period has passed.

Egg chairs to loungers

There’s a vast range of options and prices for garden loungers, whether it’s a stunning hanging egg chair, day bed or even a garden rocking chair. It can change the look and feel of any garden, so it’s worth taking some time to think about whether the space aims to be like Love Island or a traditional haven more akin to Gardener’s World.

Among the choices are the in-trend floating egg chairs. The cheapest by Dunelm is the Grey Cocoon Egg Chair for £189 that has five star reviews for being easy to put together and take down with a shopper even saying “love this chair, much better than the wicker ones would recommend”.

Keeping it traditional, there’s an Oakwell Rocking Chair at Dunelm that costs £149 or a similar one is in the Robert Dyas sale for £133.99 here.
