The Buyer’s Guide to Garden Furniture
Sunshine has come out to play in the UK and it’s time to think about spending some time enjoying the outdoors and entertaining in your garden.
Our quick buying guide to garden furniture has the aim of helping you make a decision with what is the right furniture for you and your garden.
Today there are so many different materials, styles and types of outdoor furniture available to buy that it can become a little confusing.
Your garden is an extension of your home, so when you're thinking about purchasing garden furniture to complement your setting for summer, there are a few things to consider:
1. What style would look best in my garden – contemporary, modern or traditional?
2. What type of material would suit me and my garden – wood, metal, rattan or other?
3. What do I want my garden furniture for - lounge around with my kids and hubby or entertain my friends and family?
4. How many seats do I need and how much room do I have – balcony with little storage or a large garden and entertainment area?
Whether your entertainment area is large or small, from the poolside, decking area or patio, entertaining in your garden with a beautiful patio set and complementary furniture can only add to the enjoyment and pleasure you and your guests will derive from the occasion.
Outdoor furniture options today offer an outstanding range of choices in materials, designs, and elements to create the kind of outdoor environment that will be enjoyed by you, your friends and family.
Garden furniture is wonderfully versatile today as you can choose from small sets that remain on an apartment balcony year-round or large dining sets that can fill a suburban deck through the season to an arbour with table and chairs for tea-for-two in your traditional English rolling garden.
Another important factor to consider is whether you have space to store your furniture and this would have an impact on your decision regards to the type of material you choose for your garden furniture. Also consider whether you need versatile folding or stacking chairs and tables to save space?
Basic overview of materials used in garden furniture:
All the furniture we offer is suitable for garden and outdoor use in all weather. There is something here to suit everyone’s garden whether you’re going for a minimalist, contemporary setting or a traditional environment. Metal, rattan, teak and hardwood including several optional finishes and styles cover our garden furniture range.
Teak
Teak is a slow grown hardwood that is renowned for standing the test of time. It is hardwearing, easy to maintain and can be complimented with a variety of finishes.
The high level of natural oil that inhabits this kind of wood allows it to withstand natural sunlight and wet weather conditions all year round form benches to tables, patio furniture and arbours.
This high quality wood with its characteristic tight packed grain is incredibly resistant to rotting, warping and weathering making it a premium range in our selection of furniture products.
Hardwood
Similar to teak wood, hardwood is widely known for its strong fibres and resistance to rotting. Hardwood is an all year round material and ideal for garden furniture.
This material features comprehensively in our patio range of merchandise and comes in a range of finishes and styles.
Because of its hard wearing feature this material makes great tables too that can resist not only the weather but resists many food and drink spillages making it easy to clean with and advantage of longevity.
Rattan Garden Furniture
Rattan is constructed from weatherproof woven fibres that look and feel luxurious and create a classic and contemporary expression in your garden and entertainment area.
Rattan is affordable garden furniture and does not require much maintenance and is very resistant to damage by insects making it a durable option for furnishing your patio.
There are two types of Rattan materials - woven and flat weave. The woven rattan furniture is available in two colours, namely black and brown and the round weave garden furniture is more of a natural fabric so natural in its colouring.
Metals
One of the big advantages of using metal outdoor furniture like steel and aluminium is that it is going to last you a long time. The metal option is one of the most versatile materials to use for garden furniture and you can keep it on your patio for many years into the future.
Metal can be either contemporary or quintessential when creating a traditional feel to your garden.
Textoline
Textoline is a fairly new and modern man made fabric innovation that has entered the garden furniture market.
It has become popular in gardens over the past couple of years, and can be described as an artificial, mesh type fabric that is waterproof and breathable, making it perfect for warm outdoor days.
Another feature is that it is sturdy, attractive, easy to store and resistant to rotting which makes it ideal for outdoor areas such as gardens and patios.
