Garden Furniture : Patio Furniture For Your Outdoor Room
by: Keith George
Patio furniture refers to furniture for the purpose of utilization in patios. Patio furniture is sometimes referred to as garden furniture. A wide variety of patio furniture of different material, shape, size and color is available in the market today. However two factors differentiate between ordinary furniture and patio furniture namely durability and weather resistance.
Plastic or corrosion treated metal furniture should be used for open patios. Plastic and corrosion treated metal are resistant to inclement weather conditions like sunshine, snow, rain etc. Plastic has advantage cost wise also. Most plastic chairs are stackable.
Rattan or wicker furniture is mainly used in covered patios. They are durable and resistant to inclement weather. When the wicker furniture starts to fade a fresh coat of paint will make it look new.
Wooden patio furniture is more durable than wicker and should be used for covered patios. Tubular metal patio furniture is also popular but costs more. However they are durable and the chairs are usually cushioned. The tables are provided an umbrella in the centre for providing shade. Tables with glass tops are also quite popular.
Steel or wrought iron patio furniture is the most common and the most expensive. However they give a Victorian look to the garden and are the most durable. They need to be painted regularly to prevent rusting of the furniture.
Hammocks are a must in patio furniture. They are available in a wide variety of color and material. There are two types, rope hammocks and cloth hammocks. Rope hammocks can hold up to 200 kilograms. They need to be purchased with a strong wood stand.
As patio furniture tends to be in the open and seen by many people, it is better to invest in pricey furniture. Patio furniture is available in matching sets. It is better to buy a set at once rather than buying individually for aesthetics and as buying individually may be costlier than buying a set.
When buying patio furniture, it is prudent to do enquiry at multiple places as the prices vary widely for similar kinds of furniture. The internet is a good place for enquiry and purchase. Ensure that the furniture shown on the web page is the one being sold before you pay through your credit card. Maintenance of patio furniture is required as in any other furniture. Occasional painting and wood treatment go a long way in increasing the life of the furniture and keeping them looking like new.

Garden Furniture : How To Choose Your Garden Furniture And Make It Last
by: Angus Charlton
Garden furniture is now a fashion item as the patio and garden increasingly become an additional functional space to the home.
Before you buy any garden furniture it is strongly recommended that you do some research. Doing so will greatly increase your chances of buying garden furniture that is right for you and will last you a long time. Following are some important tips you need to consider before you buy.
Firstly decide whether you want stackable or foldaway furniture that will be put away in the shed or garage in winter or if you want permanent solid garden furniture that remains in situ all year round. If you want your garden furniture to be a permanent part of your garden for esthetic reasons then it is recommended that you go for heavy furniture made from hardwood, aluminum or wrought iron with rust proofing. It is well worth spending the money on the heavier more durable materials as this will be much more cost effective in the long run.
Choosing the right type of material and construction is paramount. Decide what kind of material for your garden furniture would best compliment your patio or garden. Select a material that will stay in balance with your garden.
Wood is the best all round as it is lightweight, esthetically pleasing and comfortable but requires some maintenance. Choose a tropical hardwood which is high in natural oil content like teak, iroko or courbaril. These woods are weather resistant and can be left outside throughout the year.
Make sure that mortice and tenon joints are used for your teak garden furniture and not bolts which corrode. If any metal fittings are used in the construction make sure they are made from brass, stainless steel or aluminum which are corrosion resistant.
Make sure the construction is only premium grade teak for our garden furniture, so any knots, cracks and other defects are eliminated before the timber is used to build the furniture. Additionally, Make sure your teak garden furniture is kiln dried to optimise moisture content and ensure shape is maintained and cracks are eliminated.
Teak garden furniture that is assembled using epoxy based glues tend to have the best performance and durability of all the types of joints as the epoxy resin used will not be affected by rain or frost.
If your teak garden furniture becomes dirty it is easy to clean with warm soapy water and a scrubbing brush which will enable you to restore the beautiful silver grey weathered look. If required a pressure hose can be used at 60-80 bar [900-1200psi] at a distance of no less than 30cm.
Once your teak garden furniture has weathered the colour will be enhanced by an annual scrub. A small amount of bleach added to the water will suppress any algae growth.
Any stains and grease spots can be immediately removed by washing down using a light detergent then rinsing off with clean water as soon as they occur. However, this is not essential as nature will take its course over time.
In dry weather small cracks will appear in the end of the grain timbers. This is natural and no action needs to be taken as when the moisture in the atmosphere increases the timber will return to its original condition.
It is not necessary to use teak oil or varnish as these will not extend the life of your garden furniture and are purely cosmetic. However, if you wish to preserve the as new appearance of your teak garden furniture the application of teak oil when the furniture is new will give a more lustre finish than leaving untouched. Please ensure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions as usually this is a three stage process. Make sure the timber is completely dry when you apply the teak oil, otherwise the furniture will blacken.
Wrought iron garden furniture generally looks the best as it is usually hand crafted to give a unique look. The disadvantages of wrought iron furniture is that it is not as comfortable as wood and heavier to move around. Additionally, iron rusts so wrought iron garden furniture has to be especially coated to prevent it from rusting so make sure the supplier gives you at least a one year warranty against rust.
Finally, if you can, it is recommended that you invest in a cover for your garden furniture. Covers now come in all shapes and sizes and are well worth the money as they add years to the life of your garden furniture. Simply place the cover on your garden furniture every evening or when it rains, you will see the benefits in the long term.

Choosing Garden Furniture
By Matthew Anthony
No matter how pleasant a garden is, it is not being enjoyed to its full extent if there is no where for visitors to sit and admire the beauty of the garden. Luckily, few gardeners are willing to sacrifice design for comfort and with the wide choice of garden furniture available today, it is rare to find gardens bereft of furniture. Garden furniture will if anything look great with just about any style of garden.
Indeed, many gardens will provide several different items of furniture so that people have the flexibility to enjoy the garden from a variety of positions. So how does the gardener decide which of these many types of furniture you should be added and to which parts of the garden ? Firstly, they should decide how the garden will be used - formally or informally. Some people entertain a great deal and would use their patios or decks as an extra room for entertaining, while others just want to enjoy the peace and quiet of their gardens. Alternatively the garden may double up as an play area for excitable children.
In order to entertain properly, guest should not be crowded and so plenty of seating is required. If you entertain frequently, you should consider garden benches and deck chairs for more flexibility. Also should you be lucky enough with the climate to serve meals to your guests without leaving your beautiful gardens, then consider a large garden table and chairs so that you have plenty of room. Additionally you will probably need a decent parasol to your garden table so that you can entertain with protection from the sun (or rain).
Protection from the sun is something the gardener should be conscious of and what better way to relax in your garden, than to add a hammock to a shady area in the garden. Remember, that you do not necessarily need to obliging trees as you can fasten the hammock to two four by four posts that are cemented into the ground or you could purchase a hammock stand.
Some people prefer to just soak up the sun and for those people the ideal items of furniture are sun loungers on your patio or deck.
Indeed, a patio or deck doesn't look finished if it is bare of furniture. A patio is complemented well by either wooden, plastic or metal patio furniture. There should have no problems locating the right pieces for your garden patio and be sure to consider a patio heater. A heater can extend your use of the garden both daily and seasonly.
Finally, as you wander through the garden beds, you will find that there are certain places that are ideal to linger in and ponder. These places are ideal spots for benches or a couple of chairs and a side table. You also may want to add a decorative garden bench to any area in your garden that is a bit bland or in need of a focal point.

Plastic Garden Furniture
By Thomas Morva
Garden furniture is a useful when a person wants to enjoy and admire, the beauty and serenity that is provided by a garden in full bloom. The visitors should have a seat in the midst of all this beauty, to really appreciate a garden that adds to the charm of a house.
There are various materials that are used for the making garden furniture such as wood, iron, wrought iron, as well as plastic. Plastic has several advantages in its use as garden furniture. Plastic is a material of the new age, and can be manufactured in large quantities. It is lightweight and hence is easily portable. Thus the place of seating can be changed when required.
The other feature is price. Most people can afford plastic garden furniture, as it is not expensive. The furniture also comes in vibrant colors that by itself can lend color to the garden. They are also quite sturdy and resilient, and can stand the vagaries of the weather for a long time. They can be left out in the garden, come rain or sun and not cause much harm. However over a period of time, plastic furniture can begin to lose color, and also become more brittle.
They can be easily procured from the local stores where good designs are being created. Plastic can also be used in combination with other materials, to create beautiful garden furniture. This furniture is generally not custom designed, as it is created in factories, which have specific molds for their creation.
It is possible for the potential buyer to go online, and browse through the sites to select, the best available design in plastic garden furniture.

Metal Garden Furniture
By Thomas Morva
Metal garden furniture has always been a popular way to decorate gardens even during the Victorian times. With proper maintenance, this furniture can easily last for many years. Hence it is seen that some people are still using metal furniture in their gardens, which were made in the Victorian era. Metal garden furniture has both style, and durability features, which makes it the preferred choice of garden furniture.
The options available in metal garden furniture range from, lightweight aluminum that is quite recent to the more traditional iron. It is possible to obtain a piece of metal garden furniture that blends well with the garden. A few metal chairs and a bistro table are a classic addition that can change the entire look of the garden. These furniture pieces are often light and therefore portable, and hence can be used in various areas of the garden. In such cases there is an added advantage of shifting them as per the season and the flowering pattern.
The all time favorite of all the metal garden furniture is the classic single ornate iron bench. This adds elegance to the garden in a way that no other furniture can. They can also act as focal points, and draw attention away from less interesting sections of the garden.
Ornate iron benches can also be used for decorative purposes, by placing various pots around it. A garden statue can also be placed next the bench to add a touch of élan and verve.
Metal chairs of different colors could also be scattered around the garden, to add a touch of color in case there are few flowerbeds. In case the garden is choc-a- bloc with flowers of different colors, then it is advisable to go in for neutral shades of metal chairs. A metal lounge chair can be the ultimate fashion statement.

Why You Should Always Have Garden Furniture
By Matthew Anthony
You've put a lot of work into your garden, from planning to digging to weeding to all the little tasks that keep it looking beautiful. Sharing your garden with others is the next step, and doing that requires more than pretty rows of plants. You created a garden to enjoy, didn't you? Imagine your garden in use - garden benches and patio furniture to provide places for people to sit and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Choosing garden furniture can be the ultimate expression of your pride in the garden you've grown.
When choosing garden furniture, you should take into account the kind of use that your garden will get. Is your garden meant to be a relaxing haven for just you? A place where you'll read and sip iced tea, away from the bustle of the modern, busy world? In that case, what better piece of garden 'furniture' is there than a classic hammock, slung between trees or on its own stand? And of course, if you put up a garden hammock, you'll need a small garden table close to hand to hold your iced tea and book when you pull your hat down over your eyes to snooze in the sun.
Perhaps you picture dining al fresco in your garden. In that case, you'll be choosing garden furniture that includes patio or garden table and chairs. From beautiful white-painted French bistro sets to elegant glass and wood dining sets complete with parasol and side tables.
The garden furniture that you choose can set the tone for your outdoor space in the same way that your choice of sofa, chairs and tables defines the style of your living room. A stone garden bench with urns gives a completely different ambience than a pair of rustic, unpainted Adirondack chair with a small table between them. A pair of sun loungers (or chaise lounges) with comfortable cushions invites your guests (and you!) to relax and enjoy the lazy pleasure of the outdoors. Park benches with black cast iron accents can lend a touch of turn-of-the-century Parisian charm to a simple garden, or fit right into a smooth expanse of lawn.
When you're choosing garden furniture, you'll find a wide variety of styles and materials. Molded PVC furniture is a popular choice, in colors that harmonize with the natural surroundings. Wood picnic tables with benches are a standard, and classic redwood tables, benches, chairs and loungers are still one of the most chosen types of garden furniture in the world.
Whatever your choice, just remember the reasons that you grew a garden to begin with - the pleasure and beauty of nature. Choose garden furniture that enhances both your garden's beauty and your enjoyment of nature.

Garden Furniture
By Jimmy Sturo
Many people devote a lot of time and money to their gardens, but don’t use it to their full advantage. But how does one use a garden? Activities can be planned and held in the garden area, and the most important feature of these kinds of gatherings is garden furniture. There is plenty of garden furniture available to buy. Garden furniture can be found in several styles and designs that are priced to suit any budget. One just needs to shop around. It is advisable to visit homes with gardens and see how they are used and what materials they use. The advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of garden furniture can be investigated by asking friends and family, checking out magazines and catalogs, and finally asking professionals at home improvement stores.
There are many different seating options available for the garden: bench sets made out of hardwood, companion chairs, plain benches with cushions, hammocks and portable chairs, cane chairs and so on. Even when the days are a little chilly or the summer evening turns a bit brisk, patio heaters can be purchased that ensure proper heating of the patios and the backyard. They create a warm cozy atmosphere no matter what. If the weather becomes too hot, then an awning can shield the garden seating from the sun. Proper lighting is necessary also, and solar lighting such as solar globe lights and solar step stones ensure ambient lighting in gardens. This makes the gardens safer during the night and creates a pleasant evening atmosphere for gatherings.
All these features ensure that the garden is pretty, comfortable and safe all year long, so gardeners should go ahead and enjoy it. Anyone who works hard in their garden should spend plenty of time enjoying it. Spending time in a beautiful garden can be the best therapy for many people.
