Rattan
Poly rattan looks and feels like natural rattan but is man-made, frost-resistant and will keep its colour even in sunlight. It can be left out in most weathers but it’s best to keep poly-rattan furniture covered at night to reduce maintenance. Very easy to clean, just wipe over with a damp cloth. Skilled craftspeople use traditional techniques to hand weave the poly rattan over premium aluminium or sturdy steel frames. Poly Rattan is very easy to clean, all you need to do is just wipe it over with a damp cloth.

From authentic garden benches to foldable, dining sets, wooden furniture is a great choice as it will age beautifully and show off its beautiful natural grain. Wooden furniture comes in a variety of strengths from affordable soft woods to durable hardwoods like teak. Treat them well - apply a stain or oil once a year to prevent any damage from water or UV rays and you’ll enjoy them for a long time. All of our wooden furniture is FSC certified, so you can be sure it’s from a responsibly managed source.

Metal furniture is available in cast aluminium, traditional cast iron or a mixture of both. Cast aluminium doesn’t rust and doesn’t retain heat so it’s comfortable to sit on. It’s lighter than cast iron and easier to move around. Iron and aluminium furniture is heavier, stronger and more durable but still light enough to move. A special cleaning process and powder coating provides the best-painted weather resistance. It’s best to cover your furniture overnight and store it away during the winter.
