Garden & Patio

Garden and patio covers the outdoor structural kit — barbecues, garden furniture, robot mowers, hedge trimmers, play equipment, and accessories like compost bins and greenhouses. We test over a full British season from April frost to October rain, and replicate typical UK garden layouts (small, sloping, often clay soil). For barbecues we verify heat consistency across the full grill surface, not just the centre. For robot mowers we test on lawns with realistic obstacles: cables, molehills, garden furniture. Durability under rain and UV is heavily weighted — a £600 lounge set that fades in two summers ranks below a £300 one that lasts five.
