First of all, you need to be aware of the different types of garden furniture available, with more information on each type. By doing this, you will have a better idea of what kind suits your garden most. You will also want to consider how much space there is in your garden and how much sunlight the area receives before deciding which type of garden furniture is most suitable for your area.
The most important factors in deciding which type is best for you are budget, space, and how it will be used. A table and chairs may not be suitable for a small garden with little sunlight if the area will only ever be used for sunbathing. If you also know what kind of material you would like your furniture to be made from, this can help narrow down the search.
Here are a few examples of the different types of high-quality garden furniture available:
Metal outdoor furniture: This includes similar items to those you would find inside your homes, such as tables, chairs, and sideboards. You can also add metal accessories, such as lanterns and clocks, from your interior décor. The good point about metal is that it is strong, durable, and weather-resistant. However, over time it may rust if left outside or exposed to the elements.
Wood outdoor furniture: This is usually made from pressure-treated timber. If left outside, it will last longer than metal but can be susceptible to rot if not kept in good condition. If you consider wooden garden furniture, it is advisable to treat the wood with a water-repellent stain every year.
Wicker or cane – These are made with round rattan, so they tend to hold their form better than other materials. They are also weather-resistant and can stand up to most things with ease. However, wicker or cane furniture looks good in the garden but is not very strong and can be damaged by constant use. It may also fade if it comes into direct contact with sunlight, i.e., on a patio.
Plastic outdoor furniture – These are usually made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), making them light yet strong. They are also weather-resistant, inexpensive to buy, and require little maintenance. However, the plastic color will fade over time if left outside in strong sunlight or exposed to rain for long periods.
In conclusion, the type of high-quality garden furniture you choose should be based on how it will be used, what materials are most suitable for your area, and the space you have available.
