Small gardens punish impulse buys. The product can be good and still be wrong if it needs more storage, cooling space, power route, fuel handling or cleanup time than the space allows.

For pressure washers, check hose reach, drainage, splash, storage and surface caution. For BBQs and pizza ovens, check fuel, cool-down space, supervision and where the product will live after the weekend.

For patio heaters, string lights and fire pits, check power, fixing, smoke, local-use rules, weather exposure and whether the setup is temporary or permanent.
