SHOCKING footage shows the moment a couple’s £12,000 garden renovation is wrecked when a trendy buy explodes in a fireball.
TikTok user “Moll” shared the terrifying video of the flames spreading and engulfing their garden.
“That’s our garden on fire,” she began.
“£12,000 of renovations gone, in minutes.”
The blaze began when flames from their newly installed fire pit suddenly grew out of control, Moll said.
The trendy buy from their local garden centre – which featured a fire in the middle of a rattan table – exploded, catching fire to nearby furniture, she continued.
“We realised something was wrong when we smelt gas and then the table started hissing which got progressively louder and louder,” Moll addded.
“As my partner told me to move it, it just went up in flames.”
The situation is even more shocking given that they only finished doing their garden makeover at the end of last year.
“From the video you can’t see our full garden and how big it is, but altogether £12,000 is how much it’s cost,” Moll revealed.
“People don’t realise what it looked like before.
“It’s a new build garden with poor ground and the garden sloped down.
“We literally started from scratch on it.”
Despite Moll’s clear devastation over the situation, she was still inundated with criticism from trolls – so much so that she was forced to turn the comments off on the video.

“Also things like do I not own a hose pipe or an outdoor tap?
“Some comments as well saying I live in a council house which I don’t and saying the garden was never that much money and lots of people saying it’s an insurance job.
“Just all the comments putting the blame on me and most of those comments all came from men!”
Moll and her partner are now waiting for a decision from their insurance company about how to proceed.
“It all looks positive so far and hopefully works can start soon to get it back to how it was,” she said.
But in the meantime, she’s issued an urgent warning to anyone even thinking about getting a fire pit in their garden.
“I would never advise anyone to get one of those tables or even have a gas canister in the garden,” she sighed.
