I bought this because it's made of lightweight aluminium to be used to place my portable pizza oven on while I make pizzas. Many of my friends who also have a pizza oven have also ordered one too. It can be set up in less than 3 minutes and the same for putting it away." Another buyer beams: "Not actually used it yet but it feels sturdy & I like that you can adjust the height of the table. It packs away neatly & small & is light to carry, would be excellent for a picnic or caravan/camping holiday." And a third chimes in: "Perfect! Love the 4 independently adjustable legs, my garden is on a v small incline so allows me to have a perfectly level table. Puts together easily and collapses bsck into two separate parts easy enough. Each to their own but this gave me the perfect table size. Find my portable bbq with a good amount but not too much space either size. Much better and cheaper than the product the manufacturer of my bbq sells!"

Three camping tips from an expert David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly. When visiting any campsite this summer it's important to make sure you're not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday. Check your tent David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you're due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts. He told Sun Online Travel: 'You'd be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents." Test the ground Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider. One of those should be the condition of the ground you're putting your tent on top of, according to David. He said: 'Once you've found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough." Don't nap in your tent It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly, if it's done at the wrong time of the day. David explained: "If the sun's shining and it's hot inside your tent - don't do it! "One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke." Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well ventilated.

He rated it a 10 for him and his family and says it's a very cheap way to spend a holiday." A second customer said it was too hot inside, writing: "Good value for money, however, there's no sealed floor or bug net on the middle room and the smaller rooms attract too much heat in the day and can get damp." A third commented: "I am very impressed with this tent. Good value for money, easy to assemble and very comfy once done. Spacious and strong. We enjoyed our camping, thank you so much." Article continues below A fourth Argos buyer wrote: "This is a great family starter tent. Spacious and plenty of seating space in the middle for those damp days. I did a solo test pitch in my garden, which took me just under 15 minutes. One recommendation I have is that you would possibly want to upgrade your pegs." A fifth buyer concluded: "I bought this in August for a camping trip and couldn't be happier. The tent was easy to assemble and was comfortable and spacious."

Argos' high-back garden chair is available for less than £15 with unique deal
Argos has slashed the price of its best selling Pro Action High Back Padded Folding Camping Chair in half - but you can save even more by using a cashback deal. Whether you're off on a camping trip or simply enjoying your garden, it's always a treat to have a comfy spot to rest after a long walk or day of gardening. Many camping chairs can often feel too small, fragile, and lack the necessary back support for total relaxation. This chair from Argos seems to address most of these issues for those in search of a portable camping chair for their next adventure. Even better, it's currently available for much less than its retail price thanks to a deal from TopCashback. Set up a new account using our unique link and you'll receive £15 on qualifying purchases over £15. This reduces the cost of this Pro Action High Back Padded Folding Camping Chair from £30 down to £14.63. Supported by a steel frame, it can hold up to 110kg in weight. Ideal for popping in the car and taking to a campsite or festival, it does weigh 3.6kg itself so on the heavier side and potentially not ideal for strapping to a backpack when hiking. The chair comes with a convenient carry bag that has a handle attached. Plus, there's a drinks holder in the right arm of the chair to store your favourite beverage on a warm day, as the Manchester Evening News reports. The standout feature of this chair that's outstripping rivals is its high back which offers a level of support that leaves most camping chairs in the shade, promising the utmost ease as you kick back and soak up the rays. In case you're looking around for options, Amazon is selling a very similar high-back camping chair for £24.99. For those needing something sturdier, Amazon's heavy-duty version supports up to 180 kg and is currently discounted at £49.99. Glancing over the feedback for the Argos high-back camping chair reveals a comfortable 4.3-star approval rating. One customer gushed: "Absolutely delighted with this chair it's comfortable (my husband says) it's well made good quality and value for money it's sturdy enough to take a 19 stone man it's also got a little pocket for him to put his lighter and tobacco he's well happy," in their glowing review. Another happy buyer said: " Great little chair, easy to carry and fold comfortably to sit and read in the garden or as an extra chair for visitors. Love the drink holder." Meanwhile, a third chimed in: "I bought this a few weeks back for our holiday and it is such a comfortable chair, I've just gone and got another one for when we go on days out." But it's not all sunshine and rainbows; some customers were less than thrilled, leading to returns. "Bought for camping and beach to be completely relaxed but sadly found the chairs to be rather firm and the seat quite short. Rather uncomfortable, not for chilling. I returned them," lamented one dissatisfied customer. Another stated: "I bought this chair for a picnic. Walked for approximately 10 minutes from car park to picnic spot with the chair in it's bag, over my shoulder. By the time I reached it the chair feet had ripped through the bottom of bag and the chair was hanging out of the bottom."
