Best Garden Furniture to Leave Outside

Types of Garden Furniture You Can Leave Outside

Here are the different types of garden furniture that you can leave outside all year round.

Rattan – Premium Synthetic Only

Quality rattan garden furniture is easily the best type to leave outside.

This is because of the quality of the frame material, and the treatment used on the synthetic wicker strands.

Here are the two things to look out for when buying rattan furniture:

  1. Aluminium frame – this is easy to notice as it will feel lightweight. The reason you want aluminium is because it doesn’t rust, meaning it can survive being left in the snow and rain outdoors.
  2. UV stabilized wicker – the UV stabilization treatment prevents the sun from damaging the strands of plastic, so it will not rot or fade when left outside.

Don’t choose cheap rattan! The cheaper options will usually have a steel frame that can rust, or untreated rattan that will rot and fade over time.

DID YOU KNOW

Rattan is considered the best long term garden furniture to leave outside. Shop all rattan furniture available online now at Garden Centre Shopping.

Cast Iron / Cast Aluminium

Cast aluminium furniture and cast iron furniture are two similar styles that traditionally look dark black and feel very heavy.

These can be left outside all year round too, making them a very good heavy duty option for all weather furniture.

The weight often means you end up paying a lot more for delivery of the product.

Wood (only with maintenance)

Wood can only be left outside if you’re willing to regularly treat it. One example of this is Keruing hardwood, where you have to treat it with teak oil every 3 months, and it must be covered during the winter.

Water often gets into the cracks of this type of furniture, then expands when frozen, weakening the joints and damaging it.
