How these guides are made
Every guide compares products on the things that matter in a British garden: wind, winter light, frost and how much room you really have. We read the manufacturer's specifications, warranty terms and assembly instructions, and what owners say after a year or two of use.
Retailers never pay to be included. Some links earn us a commission, which keeps the site free, but the recommendation comes first and the link second. Read how we research.
