Relax in Style this Summer – Garden Furniture
There’s no greater feeling than relaxing in the sun on a comfy set of garden furniture watching the world go by. But it can be tricky knowing what set would best suit your garden. In this article we will explore what to expect from your garden furniture, how to keep them looking good and what you should get for your garden.
We offer a large range of contemporary garden furniture to suit all types of gardens with free delivery available Island-wide for garden furniture purchases. We also keep our garden furniture in stock on site, so there are no multiple weeklong waiting periods in many cases you will receive your garden furniture a few days after ordering. There is also a finance option we offer in store if you would like to spread the cost of your garden furniture over a year with absolutely 0% added interest – you only pay what the set is priced at the time of sale! – ask in store for more info.
There’s so much choice when it comes to garden furniture and styles are always changing. Currently we are in a trend of neutral toned rattan, sleek and simple ceramics and dark streamlined metals but when choosing a set that will look stylish for many years to come its better to think about your garden design and how you want to use your garden.
For example, if you have a small cosy garden with climbers and a cottage feeling, a smaller set in a traditional rattan style will bring a fitting intimacy to your garden. Pair the set with some bright and comfy cushions you’ll find yourself sitting in the sun for hours! A larger and open garden, perhaps with a separate decked area would pair great with a sprawling corner set for entertaining guests at family barbeques, get a set with a built-in fire pit to add an atmosphere of calm in the late summer evenings and truly relax in style.
When thinking long term about the storage of you garden furniture set and keeping it at its best for years to come there’s a few options think about. Many sets that we stock boast weatherproof cushions and uv resistant materials, but here are some simple things we recommend to keep all sets looking their best.
Aluminium framed garden furniture: Aluminium doesn’t rust and can be kept permanently outdoors, but to keep your set from wear and tear from the yearly weather a good quality cover is recommended. Cushions should always be stored inside when not in use and do best in storage where it is dry and aerated but don’t worry, a small and sudden shower of English summertime rain (no doubt descending from the heavens after you have lit up the barbie!) will be fine, and your cushions should be ready to use again in no time.
Wooden furniture is built to live outside, all our wooden furniture is weather treated beforehand and can be enjoyed right away. While there are covers that exist for wooden furniture, most sets will do fine over the colder months uncovered. Just remember to treat them again once a year with a wood preservative or teak oil. Wood is a natural product which moves and changes with the temperature and moisture so don’t be alarmed if you see thin cracks appearing overtime. They add charm and character to your furniture and will not affect the strength or durability of you set. If are ever concerned with natural splits in the wood that may occur, use the 2p coin test. If a split is bigger than the thickness of a 2p coin, it may be worth getting in touch with us if your set is still within its warrantee.
