Rattan Garden Furniture has grown in popularity in recent years because it is stylish and brings a modern edge to your outdoor space.

As well as this, it is also a highly practical material that will last a lifetime if you look after it well. There are many different types of rattan and each differs in durability. We are here to help you find the perfect, long-lasting rattan furniture for your lifestyle.  

Why Rattan?

Rattan is a great choice for outdoor furniture as it is weatherproof, durable, and long-lasting. Firstly, rattan features UV protection and is a weatherproof material.

The cast aluminium frame on all of our furniture makes them lightweight and rust proof. This means that you can leave your furniture out year-round.

Furniture covers can be used during the Winter months for extra protection. Some sets come with cushions which feature quick dry technology which means they dry quicker than normal cushions.

Rattan is a durable material because of how it is weaved. The durability increases with the thickness of the weave. As a rule of thumb, the thicker the weave, the more durable it is.

This is very good to know when searching for the perfect rattan furniture. There are many types of weave such as half round, full round, and flat weave.

Full round is the most durable. Next, we have half round which is very popular as it is comfortable, durable and long-lasting.

Finally, flat weave is usually cheaper and more lightweight while still maintaining that durability. Rattan furniture will last you a lifetime so it is important to invest in high quality pieces.
