Patio Furniture

Posts Tagged ‘patio furniture’

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.

Victoria Patio Furniture Garden Set – 6 Seater

This Victoria patio set by Greenfingers consists of a rectangular table and six armchairs. The set is made from Shorea balau, a Malaysian hardwood, similar to teak in nature, which has been certified by the Malaysian authorities as coming from an environmentally managed forest. This hardwood is very strong and durable, helping it to resist wear. However, during the winter months you should still cover the furniture if it is left outside, or alternatively store it indoors.

This furniture is delivered flat packed and some assembly is required. Extra chairs and tables are available to purchase separately if required.

This set provides excellent value and is very good quality, great for those who love the appearance and qualities of genuine hardwood. The armchairs offer more comfort than a standard chair – especially with the addition of seat pads – and there is a hole in the centre of the table, suitable for a patio umbrella.

2 armchairs: 64 cm x 61 cm x 89.5 cm (height)
2 benches: 119 cm x 67.5 cm x 87.5 cm (height)

Ellister Milano Square Cube Set

The Ellister Milano Square Cube Set is made from poly rattan, a man made material which is excellent for use in garden furniture as it is maintenance free and resistant to frost, uv light and the rain.

This is a very cleverly designed set of furniture. The chairs and footstools tuck underneath the table when they’re not in use, to form a cube, which is very elegant.

This table has a glass top which has been tempered for strength, and only requires wiping down with a damp cloth before use, as does the furniture itself. The furniture has an aluminium frame to give it strength, yet ensure that it remains lightweight.

Included are the eight cushions – four for the chairs and four for the stools – which are made from 230g/m² polyester with a sponge interior.

This is such a cleverly designed set, and the contemporary cube shape when all the tables and stools are tucked in is really cool!
