eBay garden and patio

Summer may be on its way out, but that doesn’t mean you have to shut the door on your outdoor space and leave it for another year. Our patios are the perfect place to entertain, even in autumn.

Picture enjoying a hot cuppa with friends under fairy lights and being wrapped up in blankets around a firepit in the colder months. But if your patio is only prepared for the summer, the thought of making it a functional space for all-year-round can feel daunting and frankly, expensive. The good news is that eBay has everything you need to give your patio that spruce up on a budget.

You may already know that eBay is fab for finding pre-loved homeware and décor. But there is actually so much more. Only on eBay, you can find an impressive and inspirational selection of brand-new, refurbished, pre-loved, and vintage bargains from top brands.

We’ve shared everything there is to know about their Home & Garden range. We've included some best buys that will ‘wow’ garden guests and make your patio the go-to each season.

What can you find in eBay’s Home & Garden shop?

A better question is, what can’t you find? There’s something for every kind of home enthusiast to make sure your outdoor space is in keeping with the latest trends.

Variety

On eBay, everything you need to makeover your garden and patio is under the one roof. From outdoor rugs to rattan furniture, to plants and BBQs. Yes – you read that right – even real plants. There’s an abundance of buys to help you enjoy your garden and maintain your outdoor oasis.

You’ll find all this from a range of retailers, not just the big names. eBay supports and provides the space for small and medium-sized brands too, all in one place.

Inspirational style

Whether you’re looking to transform a small outdoor space or create the perfect picnic spot for socialising, you can discover new collections and edits to help inspire you. Right now, there’s an edit from Fearne Cotton of her building her happy space in her yoga calm area.

Big brands

eBay is home to some popular brands in gardening and garden design, so you’ll be able to discover great products at great value. Well-known names include Flymo, Spear and Jackson, and Gardena for garden tools. And Signature Weave, Cox & Cox, and Charles Bentley for garden furniture and décor.

Sustainable shopping

With its unique inventory of pre-loved and refurbished items, eBay is a great retailer for finding sustainable products for your garden. Not only is it good for your wallet, but shopping for pre-owned products is an eco-friendlier way of shopping. You can make your garden livelier while being kinder to the wider environment.
