When the warm weather arrives, nothing beats the pleasure of spending time outdoors, whether it's relaxing alone, sharing a meal with family or entertaining friends. Garden furniture is an essential part of creating a welcoming and comfortable outdoor space. Here we will explore the different types of garden furniture available on the market, with a focus on the materials used in their manufacture.

What material to choose for garden furniture?

Metal garden furniture

The metal garden furniture asserts an industrial style at first glance. Some of the most frequently used metals include aluminum and stainless steel. If these two materials are both modern and design, they are no less resistant! Indeed, they will withstand any bad weather: they are resistant to humidity, rust, heat... They are also very easy to maintain with a simple sponge and soap. A lifespan of a minimum of 10 years is added to this list of advantages. Aluminium is even recyclable and steel is UV resistant! On the other hand, if you live in a very windy region, we do not recommend aluminum garden furniture, which, being very light, could fly away. The negative point of stainless steel lies in the fact that it warms up relatively quickly in the sun, it will be more suitable for a shaded terrace.

Wooden garden furniture

The wooden garden sets are the warmest and most natural. This noble and very elegant material always makes an impression, both inside and out. Wood offers flawless strength and durability. Indeed, a sofa or a wooden garden armchair is resistant to heat, humidity and pests. Among the most popular woods in the manufacture of garden furniture are teak and acacia. Both are particularly resistant, but they will deserve to be maintained regularly with special treatments and oils to nourish the wood and benefit from all its advantages for many years.

Garden furniture in woven resin

Easier to move than wooden or steel furniture, resin garden furniture will offer you the possibility of modulating your terrace according to your desires or the number of people you welcome. Resin is a material that is very resistant to bad weather, but less so to UV rays. If your garden furniture is intended to be installed on a terrace in full sun without shade, choose a fairly high-end resin with UV protection to guarantee the longevity of your furniture. The resin also offers the advantage of being very easy to maintain. A sponge and soapy water will be enough to clean
