The summer sun is shining, the days are beautifully long, and we are right in the middle of some seriously hot weather! While we all love soaking up the British sunshine, the soaring temperatures and warm evenings mean we have to adapt our outdoor spaces to stay comfortable.
Here at The Firepit Company, we’ve put together a few of our absolute essentials to help you beat the heat, banish the bugs, and create the ultimate relaxing garden sanctuary this summer.
Keep the Bugs Away with our Miniblaze Citronella Fuel
There is nothing quite like a warm summer evening spent sitting out on the patio with a cold drink. However, the hot weather inevitably brings out some uninvited guests: midges, mosquitoes, and flies.
If you want to enjoy your outdoor dining or evening chats without constantly swatting away pests, we have the perfect solution. Use our Citronella Fuel in your Miniblaze tabletop firepit.
The Miniblaze is already a stunning, compact centrepiece for any outdoor table, but when paired with our citronella infused fuel, it has a double purpose. It provides a beautiful, flickering ambient flame while naturally repelling insects with a refreshing citrus scent. It’s clean-burning, effective, and adds an instant touch of holiday ambience to your garden.
Cool Down with the Gentle Sound of Running Water
When the heat rises, just the sound of running water can make your garden feel instantly cooler and more tranquil. Introducing a water feature to your outdoor space is one of the best ways to create a soothing, sensory oasis that masks background noise and promotes relaxation.
We offer a stunning range of bespoke water features designed to suit any garden size or aesthetic:
- The Garden Rill: If you love the look of natural landscapes, our rills create a beautiful, sleek stream-like effect. It brings a gentle, continuous flow of water that meanders elegantly through your patio or garden border.
- Larger Water Features: Looking for a bold focal point? Our larger architectural water features are spectacular. Choose from designs with active water jets that catch the summer light, or opt for the gentle, cascading sound of water flowing over stone.
Whether you want a dramatic feature or a subtle, meditative trickle, a water element is the ultimate upgrade for hot summer days.
Make the Most of the Heatwave
Summer doesn’t last forever in the UK, so it’s all about making the most of it while it’s here! By adding the soothing sights and sounds of a water feature and keeping the evening bugs at bay with a citronella-powered Miniblaze, you can transform your garden into the ultimate staycation paradise.
