Buyer's tips
- Measure the space first. A set that's too big swamps a patio; too small and it looks lost. Leave at least 60cm of walkway around it.
- Weatherproof is the priority. Rattan (PE) and powder-coated steel shrug off rain; cheap untreated metal rusts within a season.
- Store the cushions. Even water-resistant cushions last longer stored inside over winter — a set with removable covers is a bonus.
- When to buy. Garden furniture discounts hardest at the August bank holiday clearance, with a second window around the spring bank holiday. For live pricing, see our garden & outdoor living deals page, updated weekly.
FAQ
Rattan or metal garden furniture? PE rattan is the all-round winner — light, weatherproof and comfortable with cushions. Powder-coated steel is sleeker and cheaper but needs covers to avoid rust.
Do garden furniture sets need covers? Frames can stay out year-round, but cushions should come inside over winter, and covers extend the life of both frame and cushions through the wettest months.
What size set do I need? For two people, a bistro set is plenty; for four to six, a 4-seater rattan set; for eight plus, a large dining table. Always leave room to pull chairs out.
