But if you want to elevate you and your pals' summer experience (while saving yourself from mozzie bites) then you need to get your mitts on this ultra-Instagrammable Garden Igloo 360 Dome, which is sure to be a talking point at your next BBQ.
The geodesic PVC garden dome is a multi-purpose portable structure that can transform your outside area from dab to fab in an instant and be used as a stylish conservatory, gazebo, greenhouse, or outdoor storage space.
Adding to its many uses, the German-designed shelter, which holds up to eight people, can be used in both winter and summer allowing you to create your own snug haven with a 360 window on the world.
The dome, which is made from high quality non-corrosive recyclable materials, is marketed as "rust and rot free" as well as "wind resistant, water resistant and snow proof" should you want to keep it up all year round.
It's currently on sale and being sold on Cuckooland.com for £679, which we understand isn't the cheapest but really isn't all that bad when you consider all the uses for it.
Much like a designer bag, it's an investment piece that if you look after, you will have for years.
Describing the igloo online, the website selling the dome wrote: "If the British summer does reward us with a once a decade scorcher and the internal temperature proves a little warm during the heat of the day, simply open the windows and door for a cooling self-ventilating breeze.
"In the winter, the dome retains heat and is the ideal cosy retreat or protective quarters for your potted plants."
There you have it, it's a winner all round!
