What should I look for when buying garden furniture?

Consider your space size, weather exposure, and maintenance tolerance. Check material durability (wood, metal, rattan), UV resistance, and waterproofing. Measure your garden area and account for movement space. Look for sturdy frames, quality cushion covers, and whether items require assembly. Reviews highlight longevity and comfort for informed choices.

How do I measure my garden for furniture?

Measure your garden length and width in metres. Account for at least 1 metre circulation space around furniture. For seating sets, allow 2–3 metres clearance. Measure doorways and pathways furniture must pass through during delivery. Sketch your layout to scale before ordering to avoid sizing issues.

Whats the difference between teak and metal garden furniture?

Teak is naturally weather-resistant hardwood requiring annual oil treatment but lasting 15+ years. Metal (aluminium or steel) is lightweight, rust-resistant, and lower-maintenance but may dent. Teak suits traditional gardens; metal suits modern spaces. Both offer durability—choose based on style, budget, and maintenance preference.

Which garden furniture works best for small spaces?

Choose compact bistro sets, corner benches, or stackable chairs to maximise space. Multi-functional pieces like storage benches save area. Select slatted designs that appear less bulky. Opt for round tables over rectangular—they take up less visual space. Lightweight options allow flexible rearrangement in tight gardens.

How do I care for garden furniture cushions?

Brush off debris weekly and wipe with mild soap and water monthly. Store cushions indoors during winter or in weatherproof boxes. Apply UV protectant spray annually. Check zip seams for damage and allow complete drying before storing. Quality covers resist fading, but rotation extends lifespan to 3–5 years.

Does garden furniture need assembly when delivered?

Assembly varies across our range. Most items require self-assembly taking 30–60 minutes with included instructions. Ready-assembled options are clearly marked and cost more. Two-person delivery doesnt include assembly. Check the product listing for assembly time and complexity before ordering.

Whats your returns policy on garden furniture?

We offer 30-day returns on all garden furniture in original, unused, unassembled condition with packaging. Contact customer service to initiate returns—well guide you through the process. Return postage costs apply unless the item is faulty. Inspect items upon delivery.

Is rattan garden furniture worth buying?

Rattan offers excellent weather resistance and stylish appearance, lasting 7–10 years with care. Quality synthetic rattan outperforms natural rattan outdoors. It suits modern and bohemian gardens but requires annual cleaning. Higher upfront cost pays off versus cheaper alternatives. Check UV ratings and weave density for durability.

What size garden furniture set do I need?

For small gardens (under 20 square metres), choose two-seater or bistro sets. Medium gardens (20–40 sq m) suit four-seater tables. Large gardens handle six-seater sets plus loungers. Measure your patio depth—allow 1.5 metres behind seating for walking. Check seat height (40–45 cm) for comfort on your chosen table.

How do I style garden furniture for different seasons?

Summer: use bright cushion covers and outdoor rugs to define spaces. Autumn: switch to warmer earth tones and add throws. Winter: store or cover furniture; opt for metal frames that age gracefully. Spring: refresh with new cushions and plants. Seasonal swaps extend furniture life and refresh your garden aesthetic.
