Garden Centre Shopping rattan garden furniture is weatherproof and aluminium-framed, built to leave outside all year (no cover required). Family-run from our Leicestershire showroom since 2001, with cushions, delivery, and a 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee included on every order.
Welcome to Garden Centre Shopping. We've built our range of rattan furniture around one stubborn idea: you should be able to leave a set outside through a British winter and find it exactly as you left it the autumn before. We design every set to live out all year, no cover required.
From our Leicestershire showroom we've been selling weatherproof rattan since 2001, and quite often we've watched customers come back to replace cheap steel-framed sets that rusted through after two or three winters. We chose differently. Every set on this page uses a powder-coated aluminium frame that cannot rust, with our UV-stabilised HDPE rattan hand-woven over it. Our 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee covers every frame, and our prices include both the cushions and the delivery.
Garden Centre Shopping Rattan Furniture. Leave It Outside All Year, No Cover Required
Garden Centre Shopping rattan furniture starts with a 0.2mm powder-coated aluminium frame that cannot rust. We specify a coating 2.5 to 3 times thicker than the 0.06-0.08mm finish most aluminium garden furniture gets, and our coating seals the metal through every freeze-thaw cycle. We then hand-weave UV-stabilised HDPE rattan over the frame, the polymer family that won't fade, won't rot, won't crack, even through full UK winters. Every set comes with our 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee.
- Aluminium Frame That Cannot Rust:
We chose aluminium over steel because aluminium physically cannot rust. Every frame in this range gets a 0.2mm powder coating, 2.5 to 3 times thicker than the 0.06-0.08mm coating most aluminium garden furniture gets. Our coating seals the metal against moisture penetration across every freeze-thaw cycle, where the cheaper steel frames fail at joints and bolt holes. The first March after you buy a set from us, you'll walk past where you left it in October and the slabs underneath will be exactly as they were.
- Rattan That Won't Crack Or Fade:
Our rattan is UV-stabilised HDPE, hand-woven over the frame. We rejected PVC outright, the cheaper rattan that dominates the budget end of the market, because plasticisers out-gas under UV: by the second summer the weave goes chalky and brittle, and by the third it starts cracking and snapping at the weave joints. Our HDPE holds its colour and flexibility through full UK winters and summers. Every set in our range looks the same in March as it did in October.
- Cushions That Stay Supportive:
Every set in this range ships with 10cm cushions and washable covers. We use 10cm depth because the 6-8cm cushions on budget sets feel fine for the first half-hour, then compress and put the chair frame back under you for the rest of the afternoon. Our cushions hold their support through a long Sunday lunch, and we don't make them waterproof, by design (we hate waterproof cushions!). Just bring them in when the weather turns, or store them in a deck box.
- Ready To Use, No Flat-Pack Weekend:
Every set in our range arrives either ready-assembled or with about a minute of assembly. We pack our sets in our own Leicestershire warehouse and ship them as complete units, so the chair backs slot into the bases and you sit down. Most rattan dining sets at four-seater and up ship as flat-pack kits, with three to four hours of bolts, misaligned screw holes, and unclear instructions before the first cup of tea. We chose differently because we'd rather you used the set the day it arrives than the weekend after.
- Family-Run, With A Showroom You Can Visit:
We've been selling weatherproof rattan from our Leicestershire showroom since 2001. That's 23 years of helping British gardens through every winter we've had. Our owner Andrew Porwol runs the business, our staff are helpful and knowledgeable seven days a week on 01455 274748, and we'd encourage you to come down and try any set on this page before you buy. Our 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee covers every frame, and we'll still be here in three years to honour it.
- Honest Price, Delivery Included:
We've never run a fake sale, and we don't add delivery at the checkout. Our pricing is what it is: no inflated RRP turned into a discount, no surprise charge on the order summary. We've watched the big-name rattan brands use HDPE and powder-coated aluminium for the same kit. We just don't add a couple of hundred quid for the privilege of their logo on the box.
Garden Centre Shopping Rattan Sets. For Patios From Balcony Bistros To Six-Seater Lounges
We have something for a 2m patio and something for a 3m one, something for morning coffee for two and something for Sunday lunch for six. Every set in the range uses the same aluminium frame, the same HDPE weave, and the same 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee. Our sets differ in three ways: how much patio they take, what shape the seating is, and whether the chairs recline.
- Sapcote Deluxe Reclining Lounge Set + Height Adjustable Table in Brown Rattan: For when you want a six-seater lounge as well as a dining table, without buying two sets. Our Sapcote Deluxe set seats six on individually reclining cushioned chairs around an adjustable table that lifts from coffee height to dining height. Upright at lunchtime, all the way back when the plates are cleared. We'd recommend this set if you do long Sunday afternoons in the garden with the family.
- Burbage 6 Seater Round Reclining Rattan Dining Set in Latte: For when you can't face moving at the end of the meal: six chairs round a dining table that all recline back. Our Burbage range uses a hydraulic mechanism with a lever on the chair arm, so the recline goes to any angle rather than clicking between three preset positions. Wine still in hand, plates not quite cleared, conversation in no hurry. We pair the latte rattan with lighter stone paving and timber decking.
- Sapcote 6 Seater Round Dining Set in Dark Grey Rattan: When you want round-table seating for six and don't need recline, this is the set we'd point at. Our Sapcote round set has six fixed-back cushioned chairs round a glass-top dining table, ready to leave out from March through October and back through every winter we've had since 2001. We pair the dark grey rattan with modern paving and slate planters. Our Sapcote range has been extremely popular with our customers, and the six-seater round size suits both a family Sunday lunch and a holiday-let kit-out.
- Burton Reclining Rattan Bistro Set with Built-In Footrests: If you have a balcony or a narrow patio but you still want a chair that reclines and a footrest at the end of the day, this two-seater is the one we'd point at. Our Burton set has two reclining chairs with built-in footrests and a small round table, sized for under-2m spaces. We pair the grey rattan with modern paving and stone planters. After a hard day you fall into the chair, and you don't have to do anything else about it.
- Burbage Large Rattan Corner Lounge Set in Latte: When your patio is L-shaped or wraps around a corner of the house, this is the set we'd point at. Our Burbage corner lounge has cushioned bench seating across the corner with a coffee table in the middle, sized for the wider patio footprint. We pair the latte rattan with lighter stone paving and timber decking. Plenty of room for the whole family round it on a summer evening, without anyone perching on a chair end.
- Sapcote Bistro Set in Brown Rattan: If you're buying your first proper garden furniture set, our entry-tier Sapcote bistro uses the same range materials as everything else on this page. We build the two cushioned chairs and the small round table on the same powder-coated aluminium and the same HDPE rattan. We pair the brown rattan with timber and brick. We'd recommend this set if you're working out whether rattan is right for your patio.
We've sorted the range by what fits your space: bistro sets for balconies, round dining sets for six, modular corner sofas for awkward patios, and reclining sofa sets for proper lounging.
Our guides go deeper on whether rattan can get wet, the best reclining sets in the range, where to look at the luxury end, and the most common synthetic rattan questions.
You can leave the set outside through every winter we get. We design every set so you walk past it in March and find it exactly as you left it in October. No cover, no winter storage, no rust streaks on the slabs. That's the only thing we're trying to sell here.
