With summer around the corner and half the nation finding themselves using their outdoor space more than ever, eBay UK has launched its first collection of Garden Essentials – a curation of this year’s hottest outdoor pieces at an affordable cost.
With three in five planning to spend more time at home this summer due to continuing price pressures, eBay has pulled out this year’s essentials at the best prices, providing people with the opportunity to affordably refresh their outdoor space ahead of the warmer weather, without compromising on style.
The eBay Garden Essentials collection contains items expected to be popular in 2023, ranging from Bistro sets from £80.00 to accessories like BBQ grills (£26.99) and outdoor rugs (£20.95), shoppers can get sought-after outdoor essentials, without breaking the bank.
As temperatures are set to start to rise, we’re seeing people turn their attention back to outdoor spaces, considering easy yet affordable ways to revamp their gardens or balconies in preparation for summer. To help, we wanted to create a collection of Garden Essentials on eBay to show that being a home enthusiast doesn’t need to come at a high cost. We’ve really taken a budget-first approach to this summer’s most essential items. Whether it’s finally the year to update the outdoor dining set, you want some smaller additions that work as well outdoors as they do indoors, or you’ve caved and decided it’s time to get a hanging egg chair – we’ve pulled out essentials at the best cost, giving shoppers the items we know will be huge this summer.

Backyard Brights
Small spaces are often difficult to furnish, the key is choosing pieces that truly optimise the area you have to work with. Using bold and bright colours can inject that much needed boost of serotonin that smaller spaces often lack, such as this bistro set (£80.00) or these outdoor cushions (£4.99).
And who said you can’t entertain guests in a smaller space? eBay has the solution with this compact and portable BBQ grill (£26.99) that can be brought out and just as easily tucked away or kept in storage for future use.
European Summer
Invite guests to escape to the Tuscan countryside, without the cost and hassle of jumping on a plane. By adding natural materials to outdoor spaces, such as this wooden dining set (£249.49), and this natural cotton flatweave rug (£20.95, 120x170cm), paired with an earthy colour palette, eBay is helping shoppers turn their outdoor space into a summer oasis.
Perfect for entertaining guests over a dinner party, finishing touches like terracotta pots, neutral linens and even a cosy fire pit (which is currently down from £29.99 to £14.99) will help transport you and your guests to a European getaway, right in your very own garden.
Sanctuary Garden
For those looking to create a space to relax with a good book or unwind with the family, comfortable seating is key. This 4 seat bamboo sofa set (£299.95) paired with soft cushioning like these affordable cushion covers (£8.00) can really help create an area of calm.
And of course, you can’t talk about comfortable seating without mentioning a hanging egg chair – perfect for that true zen moment. Available at just £189.99, it’s one of the cheapest on the market!
