Choosing the right garden furniture is just as important as choosing furniture for inside.
Outdoor furniture needs to withstand outdoor conditions, so check out the quality by sitting on chairs and moving tables to see how sturdy they are. Think about how you will store the furniture and if it's going to stay outside, then choose a material, like metal, that will last.
What style to choose
Plastic garden furniture is a low-cost option and is easy to maintain. It's also lightweight and easy to lift making it ideal for moving around to different positions.
Aluminium or wrought iron garden furniture is heavy, making it ideal for windy positions. It's very hardwearing and can be left outside permanently. Metal furniture can be refreshed with a specialist paint. Before painting, rub off rust with wire wool and brush off any loose dirt that will otherwise pit the surface of the paint once it has dried.
Wooden garden furniture is timeless and will suit both modern and traditional styles of garden. Although wooden furniture is durable, it will need re-staining or re-oiling and will need to be moved inside during winter.
Rattan garden furniture will bring a modern look to your garden and as it's lightweight it can be moved around easily, however it can be damaged by sunlight.
How to care for garden furniture
Teak oil will protect hardwood furniture from the elements and keep it looking new. Before you start, make sure the furniture is dry and lightly sand it with a fine-grade sandpaper. Using a rag, apply the oil, rubbing in gently and following the grain. You can add more than one coat of oil, but make sure they dry thoroughly before you apply the next.
If your hardwood furniture is a few years old and has silvered with age, you can restore it to its original colour by using a specialist wood restorer. Paint on, leave to work for up to 15 minutes, then wash off.
If you have plastic garden furniture, simply wash it down with hot, soapy water with a splash of bleach in it to get rid of any dirt or stubborn stains. Use a sponge rather than anything abrasive, so as not to scratch or mark the surface, and rinse thoroughly before the furniture dries.
For a quick spruce up, run the brush over the surface of the wood, plastic, metal or fabric - the bristles will get into all the awkward nooks and crannies, and get rid of any loose dirt, dust or cobwebs that have built up over the winter.
Outdoor table and chairs are just the perfect idea for having an ideal afternoon delight! Hot summer weather may allure you outside but you'll soon find yourself heading back inside your room to enjoy the cool recycled air conditioning as no outdoor furniture will invite you to stay to enjoy the scenic view except for a couple of rump-sprung beach chairs or a low retaining wall. Maybe it's about time to consider buying some attractive outdoor seating for your outdoor living space whether it may be a deck, patio, porch, lawn or balcony. From a wooden chair to charming wicker and modern style, there's a chair to go well with every bottom. And by the way - finding good deals is possible on outdoor furniture and outdoor seat.
With the changing lifestyle of people across all cultures, having a garden or a simple backyard has become very necessary for many reasons but particularly when one wants to connect with Mother Nature and rejuvenate. It gives you the fresh air to breathe or simply the space as you relax your mind in the evening after that long and tiring day in the office. With this being said, a nice outdoor table and chairs are necessary to enjoy and spending time in your garden more memorable.
But not all people have enough space in their garden for an exposition. Instead they can use garden table and chairs to give that breezy look to the backyard. Unique and trendy designs are crafted to match with the outline of the garden. Materials such as wood, metal and aluminum are available that can even endure all types of weather conditions.
