Rattan, Wooden, or Metal Furniture?

At Garden Street, we offer a wide choice of finishes to suit different styles and budgets. Each material has its benefits, and also have different levels of durability.

Rattan furniture is a synthetic material (essentially a type of plastic). When talking about 'rattan furniture', it tends to mean a type of plastic made to look like wicker, rather than authentic rattan - you may see it described as 'Polyrattan', like in this blog post where we talk about the lifespan of rattan furniture. As it is a synthetic, this makes it hardy and durable for the UK climate, as unlike wooden furniture it cannot rot. You often see extended warranties on rattan furniture, like our LG Outdoor sets; giving an idea of the quality and durability of the range. Their Monte Carlo rattan furniture is a popular range and gives a traditional look and design, whilst Kettler's Palma range comes in more compact styles..

Wooden furniture has a lovely traditional look and feel to it, and tends to be cheaper than rattan. With cost comes time however, as there is a need to treat wooden furniture routinely to offset rot. The Plumley set for example comes in a factory brown stain, which will fade over time with the elements. Wooden furniture has a versatility though, meaning you can paint it to match an existing garden setting.

Metal furniture tends to be the most expensive as a like for like, however the lightweight yet strong appeal of Aluminium always attracts customers. Our aluminium is rust free, and many sets come with an additional powder coating for protection. Timeless classics like the Berkeley set from Hartman have become a staple in many gardens around the UK. Steel does require maintenance, as can rust.

Should I cover and protect wooden furniture?

We'd always recommend covering and protecting all furniture. From something as innocuous as bird poo staining the cushions of a rattan or metal set, or leaves/debris from trees discolour the set, covering is recommended for all.

Whereas you can potentially get away with not covering metal/plastic furniture (and hoping that bird muck misses your set!), we recommend extra care with wood.

This is due to the fact it can rot in the UK with the elements, especially with the dip in temperature and wet maritime climate we have here.

Can you leave garden furniture in the rain?

All of our garden furniture frames can get wet, but as mentioned extra care should be taken with wood. It should be retreated to stop the rot from the rain and damp, to ensure the long lifespan.

Metal, plastic, and rattan is fine to get wet, but assuming that the metal frames are powder coated (with no exposed steel) or aluminium.

Care must be taken with cushions though, as these are hard to replace. Whilst some cushions are quick drying and can be left outside for 6 months a year (like LG Outdoor's Eden Seasonproof cushions), most should be securely stored in a dry place from the rain.

What is the most durable outdoor furniture?

The strongest and most durable garden furniture material is metal. The main materials used are aluminium and steel, and as components are welded together, tend to be strong. When metal furniture requires assembling (like LG Outdoors Monza and Turin ranges), the include pre-drilled holes which also allows a rigid build.

Compared to plastic and wood, metal is a stronger material and doesn't rot. 

What is the best wood for garden furniture?

From a price point of view, hardwoods like Eucalyptus and Acacia are preferred as they are dense, strong, and by being mass produced in plantations result in competitive prices. This is one reason why the Plumley set has always proved popular, as it is a traditional styled set at a good price point.

Other woods used can be more durable, like Roble used across Alexander Rose's range. A reflection of this is a 10 year warranty offered on the wood (compared to typically 12 months across Eucalyptus and Acacia products), but naturally comes at a higher price.

Out of the ordinary comfort

As well as standard dining tables, we also offer furniture that is a bit more unusual. You will find a number of colourful and comfortable hammocks, some which are already fitted with a stand to the more traditional style that ties between two trees.

A hammock is the perfect garden accessory for lounging about on when a hot summer’s day arrives. We also have a luxurious day bed and brilliant globe chair that will add a modern twist to your garden space; they will certainly be a hit with any visitors!
