Are you moving or want your old garden furniture to be replaced? Then it is useful to know what to look out for before you go for purchasing new garden furniture. I would be happy to give you advice and that is why I have listed some of the most important steps for you. For example, buying garden furniture is a breeze!

Tip 1: Record your available spaceBefore you set off for new garden furniture, it is useful to know what space you have available. How big is your garden and what dimensions does the terrace have? If you have a roof terrace or a balcony, then you should also measure the available space for putting down new furniture. You need 75 cm of space to be able to slide your chair backwards. The width of the table is added, including 75 cm for the chair on the other side of the table. This kind of information is important to collect in advance, so that you will not be surprised at home. Also keep in mind how you want to place a new garden set.

The advice is to put the table in such a way that you look at the length of the table from the house. Why?

  • You create enough space for the length in the garden;
  • You keep your line of sight;
  • Everyone looks in the garden from the table;
  • From home you do not look at the back of the chairs.

You keep more space on your terrace for other garden furniture, such as a garden bench or a rocking chair.

Tip 2: Choose your material typeWicker, aluminum, stainless steel, teak, and much more! In the garden furniture industry there is ample choice in material types. Did you know that the geographical location of your house can be very decisive for your choice in garden furniture? If you live near a train track or heavy industry, be careful with stainless steel furniture. You can suffer from 'fly rust' there. These are metal particles that come in and start to deposit on stainless steel furniture. You also have to be careful with stainless steel at the sea, because you would have been very helpful with teak garden furniture. These are heavy and therefore do not blow quickly. But more importantly, half of the maintenance is done by nature. The salt air and the sand that comes in will help you teak furniture keep clean. Of course, your own taste is decisive when choosing material. Choose something that suits you and your style.

Tip 3: Know what you needIf you want to buy garden furniture, you have usually thought of what you need. We have some tips for you that you may not have taken into account. If you are looking for a dinner set you can opt for fixed chairs or adjustable seats. For children, a fixed chair is very suitable; it is sturdy and has one fixed position. In an adjustable chair, children often want to 'play' with the different positions. For the parents, the adjustable seats are indeed sound. The stands give you the chance to enjoy the sun during the day and to relax in the evening. For example, choose a set with four fixed seats and two adjustable seats. The latter two are collapsible and therefore easy to slide.

Tip 4: Choose quality
You do not just buy garden furniture, it is an investment that you do for the longer term. Therefore, always choose quality over quantity. It is very tempting to purchase garden furniture uk online that is as inexpensive as possible, but it is then questionable whether it will last several summers. Sustainability and good quality go hand in hand. At furnitureuk.co.uk, you can easily buy garden furniture with a good price-quality ratio. In addition, you do not run the risk of paying too much for a piece of furniture, because of the lowest price guarantee.

Tip 5: Come sit down
The last, but certainly not the least tip, is to sit down. On a photo, a piece of furniture might seem very suitable, but is this true? For example, your own length can be very decisive for how well you find a garden chair. Come try it out, so choose a piece of furniture that suits you best. Does your family consist of someone with long legs and someone with shorter legs? An extra footstool with a lounge set is then a possible solution. So come and test and really touch the garden furniture to make an informed choice. Feel the quality of the various materials and view the different colors and fabrics.
