It's been a late starter, but it looks like the summer of 2021 has finally arrived.
And it might mean you suddenly realise what your garden really needs is a snazzy spot to sit and enjoy a cold beer in the sun.
There are plenty of great deals about on rattan furniture for the garden right now, and we've spotted one to rival Aldi's recent sell out sofa.
If you missed out on Aldi's trendy rattan set, which caused a shopping frenzy when it was released, Homebase is selling one that looks just like it.
- Homebase Alexandria 4 Seater Garden Corner Sofa , £300 - buy it here now
The Alexandria 4 Seater Garden Corner Sofa is currently available in stores and online, but it will cost you £30 more than Aldi's sell-out version.
The chic furniture set is made using rattan wicker material and comes complete with a table and matching grey back cushions.
The similar sofa set from Aldi is £30.05 cheaper than the Homebase version, as Aldi's is only £269.95 and Homebase's is £300.
They both come with a large L-shaped sofa in the rattan design, as well as a table or footrest.
What's more? The cushion covers are removable, making it easy for when you need to wash them.
The Homebase set also comes with a matching rattan effect table, which is designed with a toughened glass top.
It's already out of stock for delivery but you can choose to click and collect from your local store.
When you type in your postcode, Homebase will reveal how many of the sofa sets are left in stock at your nearest branches
Homebase has stores across Scotland, so you could pick up the stylish furniture during a visit to your local. Use the retailer's store locator tool to find out where your nearest one is. It might be worth calling up your local branch to see if it has the sofa in stock before you go.
Tesco is also selling its own version of Aldi's rattan garden sofa for £250, plus a range of garden furniture dupes that are cheaper than Aldi's.
While Habitat is selling an identical sofa set at Argos for the same price as Homebase, but it only has enough room for three people and there's limited stock available online.
