The Highest-Rated Outdoor Essentials You Can Find At Aldi This Summer

With warm summer days on the horizon, it's a great time to prioritize getting your outdoor space in tip-top shape for entertaining. As the season kicks into high gear, so do Aldi's rotating seasonal deals. By offering house brand products, the highly efficient retailer excels at competitive pricing. But the savings aren't limited to the produce aisle. In fact, Aldi is a great place to shop deals designed to dress up your outdoor spaces for the season.

While it's no secret Aldi is a popular destination for weekly pantry restocks, the grocery store is also a hidden gem for finding budget-friendly patio essentials.  Aldi's loyal shoppers will be happy to learn that the retailer has started rolling out its gardening collection and making waves on social media. From affordable gardening tools to leisurely patio furniture, Aldi sells a variety of essentials that are a must for your outdoor space.

Remember that these well-priced and highly rated items move quickly. If you're shopping online, be aware that certain items may not be available in your area. It's worth checking back, visiting different stores, and keeping an eye out on similar items to snag those deals. Here are some of the season's most popular outdoor products Aldi has to offer.

Gardening enthusiasts will be happy to learn that Aldi's viral greenhouses are back for another year. The Gardenline 4 tier green house is available for just $19.99, half the price of their walk-in greenhouse which sold out quickly in prior years. The slimmer, four-tiered design is ideal for smaller balconies or patios and can help protect your plants from elemental damage and unwanted pests. 

The website ALDI Reviewer reports "It assembled easily, takes up little space in a yard or on a patio or balcony, and warms up quickly inside the cover on sunny days to protect plants from colder outdoor temperatures. Recommended." A reviewer on TikTok shared their video assembling the greenhouse with the caption, "Got the $20 Aldi greenhouse, it was totally worth it! Can't wait to put more plants in it!" For comparison, Walmart sells a similar style of pop-up greenhouse for double the price.

The Belavi wooden raised planter box is another gardening item you can pick up at Aldi for a bargain price. This outdoor essential costs just $39.99. The natural wood planter box is raised off the ground with legs that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Keeping your plants in raised boxes can promote good soil drainage and add a layer of protection from pests. The sturdy frame of Aldi's raised planter can hold up to 220 pounds and is almost 32 inches tall, a convenient height for daily plant maintenance.

The product includes a plastic liner and pre-drilled drainage holes for easy set-up. TikTok user dedecamm assembled Aldi's raised garden bed, and remarks "she's gorgeous and fits perfect." When it comes to raised, wooden planters, Aldi has one of the cheapest options in the market: Home Depot sells a comparable raised planter box in a similar size for about $63. 

The deals in Aldi's outdoor living section aren't limited to gardening. The retailer also offers a line of patio furniture and seating. One popular option that's back for the season is the Belavi folding rocking chair. This modern, minimalistic design is available in black or light gray. The frame can support up to 225 pounds, and the foldable design is perfect for storing in smaller spaces. One Reddit user shared their experience with the folding chair, saying, "I don't have a deck, just a common breezeway I share with my neighbors. So this folding rocking chair from Aldi is perfect!"

In previous years, Aldi's Belavi rocker was more expensive, listed as high as $49.99. But for the current outdoor launch, the chair is priced at just $39.99. The Amazon Basics brand rocking chair uses a similar foldable design but costs around $80, which gives Aldi the leg up when it comes to affordability. 

Another hot gardening item shoppers are flocking to Aldi to snag for their yards is the Belavi wooden planter with trellis. One TikToker, gardenofzens, shared a video of the product, saying, "Check out this gorgeous planter with trellis from Aldi. I ran to the store when I saw this in the ad, I stopped what I was doing, $19.99! Look how gorgeous this is, and it comes with a whole trellis and everything." 

The product includes a plastic liner for the base of the planter box and the hardware needed to put it all together. It has adequate height (53 inches) to support climbing plants. Similar products can be found at competing retails, but with steeper price tags. A similar Costway brand trellis at Walmart is priced at about $110. Another comparable product by Hokku Designs sells on Wayfair's website for around $190. While some buyers report that the Aldi trellis requires some basic DIY skills during assembly, it's by far one of the most affordable products of its kind.
