The Best Garden Furniture for All Weather - Even Snow!

The Best Garden Furniture for All Weather - Even Snow!

Here in the UK we mainly use garden furniture throughout the Spring and Summer months. When we buy garden furniture we want something that we can keep outdoors all year round and that requires minimal maintenance. However, the problem is that our weather can be quite temperamental, one minute we have sunshine the next we have snow! In this guide, we will go over what materials and brands are the best for all weather conditions.

Snow:

Snow can happen at the most unexpected times during winter so it is important that your garden furniture can withstand even the harshest weather. Many modern garden materials such as aluminium and rattan are tough and can withstand inclement weather. 4 Seasons Outdoor garden furniture has weatherproof cushions. Their furniture is crafted around a powder-coated aluminium frame and is then handwoven with Hularo. Hularo is a flexible and easy to clean synthetic rattan and it can withstand temperatures of -20°C.

The above image shows a customer's lovely 4 Seasons Outdoor Goa dining table with Scandic chairs. This dining table is made using High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) which is created using a combination of paper and resins under high temperatures. HPL is extremely durable and is resistant to all weather conditions. Making this the perfect low-maintenance set for your garden. Bramblecrest ceramic top tables are even frost-resistant so your set will look new for even longer! On top of the table, there is a Pacific Lifestyle Cosiscoop which is perfect for making your garden feel even cosier in those winter months.

The Cold:

Over the past couple of years, we have found ourselves wanting to spend more time in our gardens. In particular, for a large portion of last year we could only socialise with friends and family in outdoor areas. For many of us, it is important that our gardens are equally as cosy and inviting as our homes are. Firepits are a great way to add some warmth to your garden and are sure to make you want to stay in your garden for even longer. Firepits such as the Bramblecrest Portofino Firepit Set are even better as, when not in use, you have a ceramic cover so you can use it as a dining table too! They are perfect for relaxing around with family and friends in those cold months. Cosy up with a blanket around the fire and really make the most out of your garden.

Rain:

As rain can happen quite frequently it is best to have garden furniture that can withstand the rain and won't become damaged. Every range by Bramblecrest, such as the popular Bramblecrest Monterey, comes with season-proof Eco cushions. These cushions are coated with a water-resistant liner to prevent water ingress. The outer cover of the cushions could retain some water however it will be completely dry after a few hours! As Bramblecrest crafts their garden furniture using all-weather rattan that means it can withstand rainfall.

Also, they use rust-free aluminium frames so your garden set is sure to be a staple piece for years to come! 4 Seasons Outdoor also boast showerproof cushions, their cushions are made using a material called Olefin. This means that the foam cushions are quick-dry and this helps to prevent mould. 4 Seasons Outdoor also recommends leaving your cushions standing upright so any excess rain just runs off the cushions. Cane-Line also boasts AirTouch QuickDry cushions so no need to wait for hours after rainfall for your cushions to dry!

Sun:

What’s great about many of our garden furniture sets is that they are UV resistant. This helps prevent your stunning garden furniture from fading. Many brands such as Cane-Line, Bramblecrest and Maze ensure that their furniture is UV resistant. Synthetic woven rattan is a great long-lasting material and when it is UV treated it helps ensure that your garden furniture maintains its colour for years to come. 4 Seasons Outdoor furniture uses Hularo as its synthetic rattan and this can withstand temperatures of up to 40°C.
