As the summer sun begins to beam down with its usual intensity, it's no surprise that locals are looking for the best gear to make their beach days both comfortable and safe.

And it seems that Bunnings Warehouse, a favourite among DIY enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike, has once again hit the nail on the head with a summer essential causing quite the stir.

The product in question? A beach umbrella that's not only stylish but also offers much-needed protection from harmful UV rays.

The Marquee 2m Beach Umbrella with Tassels, priced at $35, has become the talk of the town—or rather, the talk of the beach.

With its timbre-look powder-coated steel frame and crisp white canopy, this umbrella stands tall at 2 meters, providing ample shade for those looking to escape the sun's relentless gaze.

For those who prefer a splash of colour, there's also an option with white and blue stripes for $40, or a Multi Colour HDPE Shade Umbrella for $44.90.

Nikita, a savvy shopper from Sydney, discovered this must-have item while perusing her local Bunnings.

She was so impressed with her find that she took to social media to share her excitement.

'The best $35 I've ever spent and will be using all summer,' she captioned a now-viral video showcasing the umbrella.

With over 98,000 views, her video has inspired hundreds to rush out and grab one for themselves. 'Just convinced me to make the order,' one viewer commented, to which Nikita assured, ‘You won’t regret it.'

The enthusiasm didn't stop there. Another satisfied customer shared their joy on social media, pairing the umbrella with a $9 beach chair for the ultimate seaside setup.

Did some retail therapy today. Bunnings special price on beach chair $9 and 1.8m Beach Umbrella with wind rope $39,' he wrote.

'Made sitting on the beach great. Back support and shade.’

But Bunnings isn't just making waves with their beach umbrellas.

They've also launched a trendy new line of homewares, including the Portable LED table lamps that are being snapped up as quickly as they hit the shelves.

These lamps, such as the 'sleek' modern style Margo lamp in clay shade and the more traditional Edie lamp in cream, are priced at just $30 each.

They feature LED lighting, a touch switch, and rechargeable built-in batteries, proving that Bunnings is more than just a hardware store—it's a one-stop shop for all your summer needs.

Worried, as if it's that cheap it means the quality is only good for a very short use life span.
