As Britons prepare for temperatures reaching 30 degrees across the UK in the next few days, homes and garden retailer Wilko has revealed sales of its outdoor ranges are soaring.
The most popular item of the lot? A super cheap gazebo.
Currently £50 for the pop-up green-hued number, Wilko has announced that sales have sprung up 86% this week compared to the previous week.
The 3m x 3m garden accessory, which comes with a handy storage bag, is selling out fast, and is one of the cheapest we've seen for its size.
Amazon are selling a few similar ones, such as this £51.86 option which comes with a carry bag, or another version - but in blue - for £62.99, which also includes free delivery.
Argos has also slashed their prices by 20%, offering one for £43.99 instead of the usual £55.
However it seem as if good old Amazon may have won the cheapest gazebo title, as we spotted a 3x3 green one for £34.95 - the cheapest price we've found so far.
With parts of the UK expected to see highs of 30 degrees on Saturday, Brits appear to be rushing to peg their washing out before the rain arrives on Monday, as wilko sold more of its Vileda premium pegs last weekend than any other time in May.
Tower fans also proved popular as shoppers prepare to keep cool, with sales of its £20 Tower Fan up 104% compared to the beginning of the month.
And as living moves outdoors, shoppers are keen to ensure their lawns are looking their best for garden parties, wilko reports sales of its Evergreen Complete Lawn Feed are also up 148% compared to the previous week.
Laura Newbold, Season Buyer at wilko said, “With British weather so unpredictable, we know our customers like to make the most of the sunshine when it comes out, as our gazebo searches indicate and last month we saw our Wilko BBQ Kettle Grill fly off the shelves!
“If forecasts are to be believed, we’re in for a long hot summer and it looks like our shoppers are getting prepared. Our garden range is full of products that simply help at prices you can’t beat, freeing up families to spend their time and hard-earned cash on the stuff they enjoy.”
