Even with the temperature dropping and the weather becoming a bit more unsettled, there's no reason not to wander out onto your garden patio to get some fresh air and if you're accompanied by a handy, portable heater that is stylish as well as practical, that's even better.
Welcome the VonHaus Geo Fire Pit to your garden as an eye-catching focal point that the manufacturer says can burn wood or charcoal and has handles so you can carry it to a different area in your outdoor space - just not when it's lit and burning!
Currently the fire pit is reduced on Amazon from £59.99 to £57.99 so less likely to burn a hole in your pocket, and is also an Amazon's Choice product, meaning it is 'highly rated, well-priced products available to ship immediately'.

Two happy buyers were pleased with the size of the firepit, with one saying, 'The size of The fireplace is big enough for 6 - 8 medium logs and it burns very well. Light enough to be easily portable. Excellent value for money. Recommended'.
The other buyer adds, ''Eight of us can sit round it easily and gives off great heat and really looks the part, can't recommend it enough and I've seen Fire Pits four times the price and nowhere near as good!'.
One word of advice about putting the product together and using the fire pit came from a buyer who says, 'It was very easy to assemble, taking only a few minutes, although I did use a decent socket set rather than the spanner that was provided. I added sand to the bottom to give it some extra protection from the heat, and I'm sure that will extend its life'. Another buyer agrees and warns, 'It needs a heat shield at the bottom. Do not use it on grass directly'

Another customer was pleased with the firepit but noticed something more negative, saying, 'I love this firepit, I love the design, size and that it has a lid. The only thing letting it down is the fixings are not very good quality. But I would still recommend it!'

A few customers were disappointed that rust had begun to appear after use and one buyer commented, 'Mesh on top is too thin and collapsed after use. Way too thin to deal with the heat. It falls apart after being used a few times'.
Alternatives to the VonHaus fire pit are the Square Iron Smokeless Fire Pit by Yaheetech priced £77.99 from Wayfair and the Neo Black Heater Fire Pit Bowl by Neo Direct that you can order online from B&Q which is cheaper at £39.99 but currently has no customer reviews.

Shoppers go wild for privacy fence on Amazon that's easy to install, sturdier than bamboo and costs less than £30
WHILE we enjoy getting on with our neighbours, there are times when we don't want to talk to them. And the perfect way to tell neighbours to leave you alone while outside in your garden is with a privacy fence. 2 2 Now shoppers are praising an Amazon buy that quickly adds some extra privacy to your fence without having to spend thousands on getting the structure replaced. The Sekey PVC Privacy Screening is essential for covering up gaps in fences. The fencing panels are reinforced with two additional supports to prevent them from breaking. The makers also add that they are windproof and made with tightly woven PVC with 1-2 mm spacing. The small spacing means the panels are spy-proof so no nosy neighbours can look in. The fences are also waterproof and mildew resistant so no mould will grow on them. UV rays will also fail to penetrate the sheets, meaning the colouring won't fade. They are also super easy to install and the length can be adjusted by folding any excess over and fixing it together with the straps which are included. The panels come in multiple sizes to fit any garden fence or balcony screening and come in various colours. The best part is that the fencing cost starts at just £25.99. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 Shoppers who have already tried the fence panels have praised how easy it is to install, the sturdiness and look of it. One person wrote: "Very happy. Bought 3m for the balcony to protect my plants from wind. It was very easy to attach to the rails using the cable ties provided. Seems sturdy so far." Another commented: 'Exactly as described, good quality sturdy fencing. Purchased more for another section of the garden would highly recommend this product." "Better than bamboo," penned a third. What are your rights over a fence row? IT'S very important to know your rights if you are embroiled in a fence row with a neighbour. How do I know which side I own? A boundary feature can be a fence, wall, hedge, ditch, piece of wire, or sometimes even just the edge of a driveway. The only way to know for certain who owns what side and to avoid any neighbour disputes, is to refer to the title plan or Land Registry. In this, the T mark is used to indicate who the boundary belongs to and therefore who is responsible for its upkeep, say pros at Jacksons Fencing. Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn't any legal basis for this. You can check with HM Land Registry to see which boundary feature you are responsible for. Often households can't get hold of the paperwork but experts say they shouldn't panic. Homeowners can guess who owns the fence by checking where the rails are. Pros say: "The fence is typically facing away from their property so that their neighbour gets the 'good' side. 'This is the most secure way of facing fencing so there are no rails for anyone to use to climb into your garden. 'This is then repeated with the neighbour on the other side to ensure that each home has both a 'good' and 'bad' fence side.' Walls and fences are often built on the land of the boundary's owner with the edge of the wall marking the limit. While professionals agree a glimpse at the fence can give you a hint, it's not foolproof - so you can't be certain. Fines and punishment It is recommended to always check legal documents before making changes to avoid hefty fines. There is no law that the neighbour has to get the good side of the fence, so it's completely up to whoever owns the fence. Fencing pros have suggested: 'It may be worth selecting a double-sided panel with no 'bad' side as both sides look the same and rails are concealed within the fence panel.' If one boundary backs onto a road or footpath you can install the panels with the rails on the inside But if it's installed on the outside, it can provide an 'easy ladder for burglars to enter your garden'. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Property Litigation Association have created a mediation service to help neighbours resolve disputes over their property boundaries without resorting to court action. RICS also provides a list of surveyors who could assist in boundary disputes. If a dispute continues, it is ultimately a court that makes decisions, but they do not like such disputes being put before them. Changing a boundary If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed. The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added. In terms of decorations on a fence legal advisers recommended asking around over who actually first installed it. But they also urged caution before getting to work on amending the fence without getting more certainty yourself - since there is a danger of actually being prosecuted for criminal damage. How high can a garden fence be? The height of the fence is measured from your ground level, this can have an impact when, due to slopes in the ground, your garden may be at a higher level than your neighbours '. A garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission if it's over than 2m. However, there are some complications to this. If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft. You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m. But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Great product, does the job." "Looks good and easy to fit,' claimed a fifth.

Popular kitchen gadget banned and destroyed over 'serious' risk of explosion
A kitchen gadget sold on Amazon has been banned and will be destroyed over a 'serious' risk of fire and explosion. The UK government has issued a warning that the machine used to dehydrate foods should not be used, and any imports will be intercepted. In a recall notice, the Office for Product Safety and Standards said: 'The product presents a serious risk of fire as the fuse has insufficient granular filler to operate safely under fault conditions. 'The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.' Their product safety notice relates to the Moongiantgo Food Dehydrator, which can be used to make dried fruit snacks, among other things.
