The Gr8 screen measures 50cmx300cm, so you might need to snap up a few if you’re looking to get coverage across your whole garden.
Shoppers currently can’t order the privacy panel through Click and Collect but can via home delivery.
When we looked at ordering to north east London, there was no delivery fee, but bear in mind this might not be the case for you.
Of course, whenever buying something like this make sure you shop around and check you’re getting the best deal possible.
Compare prices on the same, or similar, products through websites like Price Spy, Price Runner and Trolley.
We had a quick look to see how much other retailers are selling the same Gr8 privacy fence panel for to see if The Range has the best price – and it does.
Amazon is selling the same panel for £14.99 while Robert Dyas and B&Q are also selling it for the same price.
Debenhams is stocking it for £15.99 – £1 more expensive.
In any case, it’s worth keeping an eye out for other retailers selling privacy fences if this one doesn’t take your fancy.
B&M is selling a 100cm x 300cm Peeled Reed privacy screen for just £10 – making it bigger and cheaper than The Range’s ivy one.
How to spruce up your garden on a budget
Those lucky enough to have a garden can spruce up their space with a few budget-friendly tips – starting with cheap flowers.
A rose garden is an easy way to give your garden a lift and you can buy seeds from £2-£3 at most garden centres.
Or, you can head to Lidl for lavender from £2.99.
If you have the space, try creating your own compost pile to enrich your garden soil without having to buy it yourself.
How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback.
Mix green and brown waste to make the perfect pile – green grass cuttings with dead twigs and leaves work as a combination.
It should be ready to spread when it turns brown with a crumbly texture and has lost its unpleasant smell.
If you’re looking to give your patio a clean up, you don’t have to spend a fortune making it look pristine either.
One gardening expert previously told The Sun a bucket and warm water with a dash of washing up liquid works just as well as more expensive cleaning products.
Mucky greenhouses and furniture can be cleaned with sugar soap and water too.
