As the Australian sun climbs high, we are all looking for ways to beat the heat and make the most of our outdoor spaces.

Whether it's a family barbecue, a splash with the grandkids, or simply enjoying a cool drink in the garden, summer is a time for relaxation and enjoyment.

Enter Bunnings Warehouse, a household name that's synonymous with DIY, gardening, and good deals.

This summer, Bunnings has introduced a practical product that could also add a pop of colour and fun to any backyard.

Shoppers may get a multi-purpose Clam Shell Pool from Fountain Products ($14).

The Clam Shell Pool is available in an array of colours that could brighten up outdoor areas.

These clam shell pools could also be used as quick and easy water play areas for children or pets.

With some creativity, these pools could also be used as sand pits, garden beds for plants, or even filled with ice to become a stylish drinks cooler.

These Clam Shell Pools recently took social media by storm.

Several online users have shared their ways of using the Bunnings find, immediately incorporating these pools into their summer plans.

'I guess I'm going to Bunnings today,' a shopper commented.

'I need it. So glad I didn't buy the old bright blue one already,' another shared.

However, not everyone was prepared for the colourful surprise.

'Wait, what? They were always blue,' one asked.

'Of course, I just bought the blue,' another sighed in disappointment.

If you're eager to get your hands on these clam shell pools, act fast.

The Clam Shell Pools are not yet available online, so a trip to your local Bunnings could be your best bet.

Given their popularity and the affordable price tag, these pools are likely to be snatched up faster than a cold drink on a hot day.

Whether you're planning to use it for the grandkids, your furry friends, or as a chic addition to your garden, it's a purchase that could make the warmest months of the year more bearable.

Last week we had an article about how Temu were in trouble for selling a similar item, albeit it had a sun shade structure attached. But it's OK for Bunnings to sell one.
Just as easy for kids to drown in, with or without a safety warning on it
If you haven't got enough brains to know that they are a hazard if you don't watch your kids while they are using it then you shouldn't have kids, you shouldn't need a safety warning.

Suzanne rose I've just found the answer for our new backyard since we're leaving our current home soon with a pool. Can you just imagine hubby and I both sitting in one of these at the retirement village?

if you leave the water in please provide a "ramp" or anything so small animals/wildlife and insects can get out again.

You have chosen the wrong retirement village if they don’t have a pool

I didn't say the village hasn't a pool beside I'm a retired swimming instructor who has trained Olympians and I prefer to actually go for a swim in a 25 to 50 metre pool and not just tumble-turn, tumble-turn, tumble-turn in anything less. Also in village pools some allow residents grandchildren to get in and I don't particularly like them jumping around and splashing when the pool we're paying for the luxury of having the pool for our relaxation or SWIM.

As much as I love my 10 grandchildren it's getting too hard to know what to do during the school holidays. As you said OUR POOL is used by the children then on the other hand we don't like going away in our caravan during the holidays because the Parks UP THEIR PRICES and we need to stretch our $$$ for as long as we can at our age. We don't like going to the caravan parks with "all the bells and whistles" for the children because we don't use those facilities. Then we find the smaller parks UP THEIR PRICES as well because it's the school holidays, so we stay at home and OFF THE ROADS where the crazy multitude are.
