If, like us, you love spending time relaxing in the garden, then choosing your outdoor furniture is a very important decision. With so many different types of garden furniture available, we, at the Gardeners Club are here to give you a few tips on what to consider before making your choice.

A few questions to ask yourself:

• What is your personal garden style?
• What type of entertaining do you enjoy doing or would like to do?
• On average, how many people will you need to accommodate?
• What are your storage needs? Where will you store your furniture if you need to get it out of the elements?
• Consider where it will be placed; what views do you want to enjoy?
• Will you be moving your furniture around a lot - then consider its weight?
• How much space will you need? Will you want seating for the whole family or a sun lounger all to yourself?
• What is your budget?
• Have you considered the available materials?

So, whether you have a large garden or a snug patio to deal with, you’ll want to make the most of your outdoor space with stylish and practical outdoor garden furniture.

Don't forget, whatever furniture you choose, make sure you keep it covered when necessary, using storage boxes, protective covers or if you have the space, store in your shed.

Furniture

Here are some of the basic options to consider:

• Folding Furniture; This could be the perfect option if you’re short on space.
• Recliners & Loungers; A relaxing garden furniture option.
• Outdoor dining & garden patio sets; Make your garden a real social occasion.
• Gazebos; If you have plenty of outdoor space, then a gazebo might be ideal for you to host parties and events in your garden.

Materials

Next, consider the types of materials available for your garden furniture:

• Wooden; materials such as teak, oak and ash are ideal if you want a natural look in your garden but with a resilient surface. However, to ensure you keep it looking its best, don’t leave it exposed to the elements all year round and ensure you treat it regularly with wood preserver.
• Aluminium and metal; This is a very low maintenance material to choose as it can easily be wiped clean and left outside in any weather conditions.
• Glass; Ideal for frequent outdoor use and will help brighten your garden.
• Mixed material garden furniture; If it’s a modern and stylish look you’re after, a combination of wood, metal and glass is ideal.
