[AD] Tidying up your Garden with Storage Solutions from Very.co.uk

It’s that time of the year as the sun starts to shine a little more often that our attention turns to the garden and more importantly to tidy the garden up, because there is no doubt over the winter everything in the garden starts to look very untidy.

In our home this is particularly the case being the parents of eleven year old twin girls. One of our daughters is football mad and she has a massive collection of footballs that always seem to be spread around the garden. So make our garden look a bit more organised we are definitely looking for something to tidy the footballs and keep them in one place. Although that is one purpose we would also like something that could be used as a seat.

While looking on the Very.co.uk website in their storage section we came across this amazing two seater bench with a storage compartment in the base which would be perfect for garden storage for all the footballs in our garden for one of girls.

The Rowlinson Alderley rattan storage bench is a very smart and stylish outdoor seat. It is constructed from a weatherproof rattan effect weave and is a hardwood timber frame. It comes in grey which is definitely an in-vogue colour which suits all our other garden furniture.

The biggest advantage is of course that you lift the seat and the storage compartment has a 150 litre capacity. Of course, we are going to store footballs in the storage compartment, but you could easily store toys, cushions or even some small gardening tools.

The Rowlinsons Alderley storage bench was exactly what we have been looking for. It was easy to assemble and it has definitely added a touch of class and sophistication to our garden.

Now summer is fast approaching our thoughts are turning to bbq season and entertaining for family and friends on warm summer nights. We have been looking to get something that will keep us warm as the sun goes down but also something we can cook on for a summer bbq.

We wanted something that can combine both of these uses and decided that a chiminea would be perfect. This particular chiminea instantly appealed. It’s the Large Tia Chiminea in bronze, and it includes a BBQ Grill.

We don’t have the biggest patio area so the Tia Chiminea is a perfect size for our patio and didn’t dominate the entire area plus it’s perfect for family bbq’s and garden heating.

The Tia Chiminea is made in a beautiful bronze steel effect and will definitely become a focal point of our garden. You can burn any kind of fuel on the Chiminea which will definitely keep you warm after sunset with the added bonus of a swivelling bbq grill which means you can rustle up hot dogs, burgers or even an al fresco dining night.

Getting our garden organised and sorted for summer has definitely been a priority for us this spring so that as a family we can enjoy quality family time in the garden during the long hot summer months.

We are now looking forward to entertaining family friends this summer cooking up delicious meals on our chiminea. While also sitting in comfort on our new Rawlinsons Alderley storage bench.
