Colonial Plantation Chair, Side Table and Footstool Options

The Colonial Plantation or Planter Chair is a traditionally styled veranda chair which is made from a combination of teak and poly rattan. The chair is available for purchase on its own, or it can be bought with a side table and / or a footstool, or the side table and footstool can be purchased separately.

The furniture can be used outside or inside a conservatory.

Dimensions:
Chair:  height 430mm x width 560mm x depth 560mm
Side table: height 430mm x width 560mm x depth 560mm
Footstool: height 360mm x width 560mm x depth 460mm

The colonial plantation chair is a traditional piece of furniture which has now been brought bang up to date with the addition of ecolene poly rattan, a man made material ideal for garden furniture due to its resistance to weather and uv light. You still have the traditional look of the furniture with the teak hard wood frame.

Maze Rattan Winchester Corner Group  – 4 – 6 Seater

The Maze Rattan Winchester Corner Group is a rattan resin weave corner group set which seats four to six people, and it has an accompanying glass topped table. The set also comes complete with the neutral coloured cushions pictured which are water resistant.

The furniture is made from man made rattan which is actually a resin weave material, which is woven around an aluminium frame for strength and then welded in place so that it doesn’t unravel. Rattan garden furniture is popular because it does not rot, fade, become brittle or get infested like wood, and the only maintenance it requires is the removal of dust which it can pick up from the garden. It is recommended that the furniture is covered over the winter months and hosed down before the first use after the winter.

This is a very attractive corner group arrangement. The furniture has been ergonomically designed to help you not only be comfortable, but also to retain good posture whilst you are seated, although if you are lucky enough to have it to yourself, you might just choose to lay across it and soak up the sun

Dimensions:
Table: 80cm x 80cm x 30cm (height)
Mid section: 75cm (width) x 65cm (depth) x 67cm (height)
Corner section: 75cm (width) x 65cm (depth) x 67cm (height)

No home assembly is needed.

Maze Rattan Washington Sofa Set in Light and Dark Brown Mix or Black – 4 Seater

The Maze Rattan Washington Sofa Set is a rattan resin weave four piece, four seater sofa set comprising a single two seater sofa, two arm chairs and a glass topped table. The glass table top is constructed from tempered 0.25″ safety glass. The set comes complete with the seven neutral coloured polyester cushions, which have covers which are removable and machine washable at a low temperature.

The furniture itself is constructed from resin weave which is woven around an aluminium frame and welded into place so that it cannot unravel. This makes the furniture strong, whilst it remains lightweight. Rattan furniture is becoming increasingly popular as it is virtually maintenance free and it is does not fade, crack, rot or become brittle when left outdoors, although it is recommended that the furniture be covered over the winter months and hosed down before the first use after the winter.

I particularly like the way the backs of the chairs are arched, meaning that you can recline on them and really relax in the garden. Furniture like this is great for outdoor entertaining and turns your garden into an additional reception room.

Dimensions:
Table: 90cm (35.4″) x 71cm (27.8″)
Two seater sofa: 87cm(34.5″) x 150cm (59″)

Even in the most attractive of gardens, it is nice to be able to sit down and enjoy your surroundings on some suitable garden furniture. Fortunately, there is a wide selection of garden furniture availalble to suit all tastes and budgets.

Garden furniture is available in a wide range of materials including:

• Hardwood – such as teak, oak or balau
• Softwood – most commonly pine
• Poly rattan – a resin weave man made rattan, usually reinforced with an aluminium frame
• Textilene – a quick drying man made material used for seats and seat backs
• Powder coated steel  – steel given a coating to prevent rusting
• Aluminium  – a metal which does not rest
• Polyester – frequently used for gazebos or parasol canopies.

The most prized – and expensive – material for garden furniture is hardwood due to its appearance and durability. However, poly rattan over the past few years has become increasingly popular as it is completely weather resistant and requires little 0r no maintenance. It can also be used to create more innovatively shaped garden furniture than hardwood and circular sets, cube sets, day beds and wave rider sun beds provide increased variety of choice. Poly rattan furniture is often bought for professional use too, because of its long lasting and hastle free nature.

Cheaper garden furniture is often made from a powder coated steel frame with textilene seats, but they are usually collapsible for easy storage and furniture such as this is ideal for occasional use, where you use it in the garden as required, and put it away in a garage or a shed when not in use.

Aluminium garden furniture is often very attractive to look at, with swirling designs and a very traditional, English garden appearance. It also does not rust. Pine furniture, on the other hand, looks good but should be treated with preservative about once a year to maintains its good looks and keep it free from rot.

Entertaining

If you are wanting to entertain in the garden, seating is a priority, and most garden sets will sell extra chairs separately so that you can seat everyone. It’s been my experience that people far prefer to huddle around a slightly too small table – provided they have a chair – than to be playing “musical chairs” or sitting two to a chair, so it’s worth making sure you have sufficient chairs for the number of guests that will be coming. Picnic benches are great for children as they are quite happy to squeeze together and you can seat more children than the recommended number of adults without a problem. They also allow children to have their own party whilst you have yours!

Comfort

If your primary purpose for garden furniture is comfort, not entertaining, treat yourself to one of those Luxor Swing Seat Gazebos. Complete with curtains and nets, the seat will actually fold down to make a double bed for the ultimate in garden relaxation.

Wooden garden furniture should often be treated to protect it from rotting.

There are two types of preservative available for wooden garden furniture – oil/ spirit  based and water based. Water based preservatives do not soak into the wood well and need repeating regularly. Oil and spirit based preservatives are longer lasting, but they can damage plants before they have completely dried.

You should wear gloves when applying preservatives, and take care not to splash them onto exposed skin.

Hardwood may not need preserving as it is naturally much harder and longer lasting. Teak is an example of a hardwood. Softwoods are more susceptible to rot and will always need treating. Pine is an example of a softwood – although not all pine is the same. Pine grown slowly in forests in northern Europe tends to be more durable than faster growing versions from southern Europe.

Richmond Medium Round Picnic Bench – 8 seater

The Richmond Medium Round Picnic Bench is a pine circular picnic table with a round table and four benches, which seat two per bench. The table has a hole in the centre for a parasol.

The pine used for the bench is taken from PEFC certified forests. This pine comes from Scandinavia, where the pine grows slowly to make it denser, more hardwearing and longer lasting. The pine comes from managed, sustainable forests.

This table requires some home assembly and the wood should be coated with a wood preservative such as Cuprinol for a longer life.

Dimensions:

Table: diameter 112 cm; diameter with chairs 208 cm.

This is a great piece of garden furniture, and fantastic when the weather is warm and your children bring friends home from school and want feeding. They love it, and you get to keep all their mess out in the garden! Once they’re in bed, you can use it yourself, and enjoy a glass of wine outdoors in the sunset with your friends.
