FAQs
What garden furniture material is best for UK weather?
All-weather rattan and powder-coated aluminium handle rain best. Teak and acacia wood are durable but need annual oiling.
Should I cover garden furniture in winter?
Yes. Even weatherproof furniture lasts longer with a cover. Store cushions indoors and use a breathable furniture cover over winter.
How much should I spend on garden furniture in the UK?
A quality 4-seater rattan set costs £300–£600. Budget sets start at £150 but may not last more than 2–3 seasons of UK weather.
