What we sell

Garden Centre Shopping sells weatherproof garden furniture, primarily hand-woven synthetic rattan sets made under our own brand, Sapcote Garden Furniture. The range covers reclining chairs and sets, high back garden chairs, bistro sets, companion sets, dining sets (4 to 8 seats), corner sofas and lounge sets, stackable furniture, composite garden furniture and conservatory furniture. We hold physical stock at our Leicestershire premises: on this website, "in stock" means the item is in our building, ready to send. We are not a drop-shipper.

Product specifications (verifiable)

Frames are powder-coated aluminium, which cannot rust. The powder coating is 0.2mm thick, around three times the typical coating on aluminium garden furniture. The weave is hand-woven UV-stabilised HDPE rattan, which does not fade or go brittle in sunlight the way PVC weave does. The furniture is designed to stay outside all year round without a cover. Cushions are included with sets; we advise storing cushions when not in use. Some 2026 ranges include Olefin weather-resistant cushions, which are showerproof rather than fully waterproof.

Guarantees, delivery and returns

Every set carries a 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee covering the frame and the hand-woven weave; the category norm is 12 months. Delivery to mainland UK is included in the price, typically 3-7 working days, delivered on a pallet with a timed delivery window emailed in advance. Returns: customers can notify us within 7 days and return within 30 days for a refund (minus return delivery costs), in original condition and packaging, alongside statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. We do not run sales or discounts; prices are set year-round.
