There are many different materials used for garden furniture, and it can be hard to know which one to pick or which one is best for your garden. The following are some of the benefits of different materials, so you can decide which is the right type for you.
Rattan garden furniture
Rattan is a very common garden furniture material, mostly because it is durable and UV light resistant, so will not fade or bleach when left outside in the sunshine. Rattan garden furniture is also a low maintenance material because it’s easy to clean and hard wearing. It’s popular because it looks nice and can be found in many different shades and colours.
Aluminium garden furniture
Aluminium is affordable, recyclable, and very durable. Also, unlike iron or steel, it is not going to rust when left outside. As well as these benefits, it does also look nice in your garden and can be easily moved to your preferred positions.
Stainless steel garden furniture
Steel is a strong material so garden furniture made out of steel would be durable and resistant to wind. Stainless steel garden furniture also holds its value, so if you did come to update your furniture again in the future, it is something to bear in mind.
Wooden garden furniture
Wooden furniture has that rustic and authentic feel to it and can look quite at home amongst your plants and trees. If properly cared for, wooden furniture can also last a very long time in your garden.
