What do you have to consider when buying garden furniture?

Garden furniture is not only beautiful and comfortable, it also has to withstand a lot. From strong sunlight to wind, rain and hail to considerable temperature fluctuations, it has to cope with everything. That is why it is important to pay attention to quality and to follow the care instructions for the garden furniture exactly. This also includes an occasional new coat of paint on wooden parts and protection against too strong effects of the elements. Especially in autumn and winter, when no one makes themselves comfortable in the garden lounge anyway, a storage facility should be available for the furniture. Numerous other accessories such as parasols or towels can also be purchased in colours and designs that match the garden furniture and round off the visual impression.

Various possibilities for garden, terrace and balcony

One of the favourite pastimes of many people in summer is extensive sunbathing. An attractive sun lounger is recommended for this purpose, which is best combined with a lounger cushion. Those who prefer to sit together in a sociable atmosphere should not do without a garden table with matching garden chairs. It's a great place to get together for a barbecue, cake or breakfast in the sunshine.

A little more relaxed and quiet can be found on a garden bench and on lounge sofas and lounge chairs. These can be the centre of a small island of tranquillity where you can chat together, read a book and relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Depending on taste, these islands of calm can be decorated with numerous planting ideas, with parasols or similar decorative elements.

How can you recognise high-quality material for plastic furniture?

Weatherproof garden furniture is usually made of wood, plastic or aluminium. Plastic furniture is lightweight, versatile and easy to clean with an all-purpose cleaner. You can recognise high-quality plastic furniture by its low chalk content, sturdy components and classy exterior, which often mimics rattan or wood. All-plastic garden furniture in bright colours can also enhance many a garden.

Wooden garden furniture is the classic among garden furniture and impresses with its noble appearance. Teak garden furniture is durable and solid because teak is one of the most weather-resistant woods. Acacia wood, robinia wood and rattan garden furniture also have very good weather resistance and are easy to clean and maintain.

Metal garden furniture is the front-runner in weather resistance because it is absolutely corrosion-resistant. Moisture and sun don't stand a chance. Aluminium garden furniture is visually enhanced by a high-quality powder coating.

Garden table sets consisting of tables and chairs or benches

The best place to get together for a barbecue or a coffee party is at a garden table set. Such sets are particularly recommended because the tables and chairs or benches are not only matched visually, but also in terms of their height and workmanship. A garden furniture set of this type usually consists of a garden table and enough chairs or benches for an optimal number of guests sitting at the table. The colour and design coordination ensures a harmonious picture that will please you for a long time.

Lounge furniture for the oasis in the garden

For relaxing together in the garden, it is advisable to buy some lounge furniture. You can comfortably enjoy the outdoors on sofas and armchairs. A coordinated seating area that is spatially and visually somewhat separated from the rest of the garden is optimal. A parasol and a table in the middle of the seating area also contribute to the feel-good atmosphere.

Relaxed sunbathing on the garden lounger

For sun worshippers, there is a large selection of garden loungers in a wide variety of materials and processing types. They differ not only in their appearance and the material used, but also in their workmanship. If, for example, a sun lounger is to be moved frequently, then it is advisable to buy a model with wheels on the rear feet. With these, the sun lounger can be easily turned with one hand or moved to another position on the terrace. The adjustability of the backrest and the finish of the armrests are also important construction elements of the garden lounger, which should be adapted to the physique of the owner.

How to clean garden furniture properly?

Garden furniture is processed to be low-maintenance because it is exposed to the elements and must be able to withstand frequent cleaning. In most cases, a soft cloth and water with all-purpose cleaner will be sufficient to remove any stains that may occur during normal use.

Wooden furniture should also be impregnated occasionally with a special care oil. Heavy soiling and patina on wood can be removed with sandpaper, but afterwards a wood stain should restore the furniture's protection. Any rust stains on metal furniture can also be removed with sandpaper and brushed over with new varnish. This is how you make your patio furniture weatherproof.

Tips for storing garden furniture

If the garden furniture is not going to be used for a few months, it is advisable to store it in a place protected from the wind and weather. This could be indoors, in a garden shed or under a canopy, for example. If this is not possible, there are suitable protective tarpaulins for all garden furniture that can be pulled over them and attached to them. If several pieces of furniture are stacked on top of each other for reasons of space, a blanket should be placed between them as scratch protection.

Matching decoration

Numerous decorative elements can further embellish the seating group in the garden. For example, sophisticated lighting concepts can not only provide light but also offer a first-class ambience, especially in the evening and at night. For the seating area consisting of garden sofas and garden armchairs, matching cushions or blankets can provide additional cosiness. On garden tables, matching blankets can not only protect the table surface but also help to individualise the furniture.
