The Range is selling a pop-up party gazebo that turns your garden into a pub, and we're not going to lie - it looks pretty brilliant to us.
Now the weather is starting to turn, we're itching to get out in the garden again and have a few bevvies. Having spotted this new product from The Range, it's got us even more eager to get out there.
During the pandemic, many opted to turn their gardens into pubs whilst their favourite boozers were shut due to restrictions.
With the cost of living crisis pushing everyone to count their pennies a little bit more closely, it's likely people will be wanting to save by making the most of their outdoor space - and this really does help you do that.

The pop-up party gazebo, usually priced at £399.99, is currently on sale for £249.99 and comes with two stools, cream tarps and its own canopies included.
Easy to assemble, the main draw is the bar itself - which wouldn't exactly look out of place at the end of the swimming pool at the Love Island villa.
Its canopies shelter you from the sun on hotter days, ideal ahead of a forecasted April heatwave, and provides you with somewhere to prepare your own drinks and play bartender for your guests.
It's an ideal option for anyone who loves throwing garden parties or BBQs, and with great weather on the horizon, the fact that it's currently on sale makes the pop-up party gazebo an ideal purchase for those with a bit of cash to spare right now.
The description reads: “Turn your back garden into a high-class, private resort with the Bar Gazebo & Two Chairs, using cream tarps and canopies to give the impression that it's bathed in warm sunlight no matter the weather.
Guests can sit in the two included chairs, while you chat away and ensure everyone is fully fed and watered, topping up drinks from the bottles you have stashed behind the bar.”

UK-wide temporary ban on sale of disposable barbecues issued due to wildfire risk
A nationwide temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecues has been issued.
Following the UK's fourth heatwave of the summer, and as many regions declare drought conditions, the Government has made the decision to issue a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecues due to wildfire risk.
A disposable barbecue is defined as a fuel tray or grill grid that includes charcoal fuel 'sufficient to provide cooking temperature for the duration of a single cooking episode'.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Andy Burnham described the UK as a 'tinderbox' and urged 'all retailers big and small' to withdraw the sale of disposable barbecues to prevent further wildfires, but following the shocking scenes in Stourbridge which raged overnight, it appears this has been escalated to a formal temporary ban.
The ban applies to all producers and distributors of the product - including retailers that make disposable barbecues available on the British market - and includes online sales too.
A Government statement reads: "During the current drought and heatwave conditions, the Government considers that the supply and subsequent foreseeable use of disposable barbecues poses a significant risk to the public, and the environment, and therefore cannot be considered a safe product.
"They should not be made available for supply either in store or online at the current time.
"These guidelines will be kept under review, and will be withdrawn in consultation with relevant departments and agencies, as weather conditions change sufficiently to significantly reduce the risks."

A brand-new kite festival is coming to a country house in Leeds next weekend
Clementine Hall
Colourful kites will paint the sky next weekend as Lotherton Hall is gearing up for its first ever Kite Festival.
Taking place on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August, over 30 kites of all different colours, shapes and sizes will take to the sky, flown by professional fliers from all over the country.
Visitors can expect some of the world’s largest inflatable kites, and you may even spot some in the shape of your favourite character.
Not only that, but children can bring in their bravest teddies that will, weather permitting, be dropped from the sky, equipped with parachutes so they can sail down safely to their owners.

Entry to the kite festival is included in the Lotherton Hall admission, where there will also be a fun house, bumper cars and face painting as well as food stalls to keep you fuelled up for the day.
The festival is organised by The Northern Kite Group who are behind the hugely popular kite festivals in Filey, Bridlington and Redcar, so you just know we're in for a treat.
Councillor James Gibson, Leeds City Council’s executive member for environment, said: “We’re very excited to be bringing this kite festival to Lotherton for the very first time, one which I’m sure will be a brilliant day out for the whole family.
“Lotherton is one of our most loved attractions and it has so much to offer for the summer, with a full activity schedule for the school holidays as well as Wildlife World and deer park tours.”
Sarah Duncalf, secretary from Northern Kite Group said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing a kite festival to Lotherton this summer. The sight of spectacular kites filling the sky is something visitors won’t want to miss.
“From giant inflatable characters and breathtaking displays to our ever-popular teddy bear parachute drop, there will be plenty to entertain the whole family. We’re looking forward to creating a weekend full of colour, excitement and unforgettable memories, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone.”
