As anyone who lives in the UK will know the weather in the summertime can de very unpredictable. Some days may be hot and sunny, but some may be cloudy and rainy with the temperature changing be several degrees within a day or two. If you enjoy entertaining guests in the garden then you will need to be mindful of this when planning your event and preparing your garden.
Whether the weather is hot or rainy a installing a gazebo is a useful way to provide shade or shelter for your guests. They can be easily erected in about half an hour either on a lawn using pegs into the ground to secure it or on a patio area where it will need to be secured by tying it to railings or a fence. Some gazebos have curtained sides that provide additional protection from the elements.
Should your event be in the evening it is important to think about how you are going to keep your guests warm as the temperature, even in summer can drop considerably when the sun goes down. Providing guests with cosy blankets that they can use is a lovely way to do this and is a welcome treat on a chilly evening. Firepits are popular in many gardens and gathering round a crackling fire provides not only warmth but a lovely ambience to the gathering.
