Patio Tables and Chairs

Patios and gardens can have a variety of uses, and the furniture chosen to adorn these areas should reflect that chosen use.

You may use your patio area

to watch the sunrise or sunset,
to soak up the sun on summer days,
to relax and enjoy the outdoors,
for parties or outdoor entertaining/barbequeing,
or simply for family leisure or recreation time.

The use you have in mind for your patio area will help determine the type of furniture that is best suited to that area.

The pictured patio table and chairs set is suitable for a formal and large dining area.

Types of Patio Furniture

Patio sets come in a variety of weather resistant materials. The most common of these are as follows

hard woods,
aluminium,
steel, and
cast iron finishes.

However you can also find patio furniture made of textilene, rattan, resin, or marble, or some combination of the above materials.

Even though the above furniture types are weather resistant, if you plan to leave your patio furniture out over the winter, there are covers you can buy to protect them from the elements and keep them fresh and new looking for longer.

Ebay and Amazon both offer weather proof covers for your furniture. See below and to the right.

Winter time and Patio Furniture

When buying outdoor patio or garden furniture you should consider what you plan to do with the furniture during the long wet British winter.

If you are lucky enough to have storage space for your full set of patio furniture, then you need not be concerned about the wet winter.

However if you do not have a garden shed, then you need to consider how you will protect it against all of the inclement weather that it will be subjected to throughout our winter.

It will endure rain, hail, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. How do you protect your once new furniture from the adverse effects of these elements? Most outdoor furniture is designed to be long lasting and is weather resistant if not weather proof. However it is not designed to keep it's new look after being subjected to the worst of the British winter weather.

for that you need a weather proof cover like those below or to the right sold on Ebay or Aamzon.

Patio Table Covers

The cheapest and most effective way of protecting your patio furniture during the winter is to buy a patio furniture cover.

There are a range of such covers available from good outdoor furniture stores and online sites.

The most popular covers on the market are woven polyester with brassed eyelets and ties at the bottom.

They are fully weatherproof, and can be tied tightly round your furniture to stop the cover from moving in even the strongest winds. In the springtime your furniture should emerge in as good a state as when you covered it over in the autumn.
