There’s nothing better during summer than sitting in one’s own garden under glorious blue skies and enjoying the company of your family and friends. With the men from the Met Office predicting that this summer will be sweltering, it’s time to either buy new garden furniture or get the existing set out of winter storage for the forthcoming nights of open air enjoyment.

Over the past decade the types of garden furniture readily available at affordable prices has grown hugely. So, if your current set is in need of renewal or if you don’t yet possess any garden furniture you’ll find that there is a fantastic choice on offer at the nation’s garden centres, and DIY stores.

For summer 2009 there are many different garden furniture sets available in various types of wood and metals; from compact two-seater metallic cafe-style sets ideal for a small patio, right up to luxuriant 10-seater extravagant real wood sets with large, solid tables and magnificent parasols. So, depending upon the size of your garden or patio you might be in the market for something such as a simple two-seat set or something more luxurious such as a set of glorious Indonesian Wicker loungers. Regardless of price most garden sets also offer the option of adding matching furniture, such as sun loungers, comfortable cushions and parasols; all essentials for lounging around and enjoying outdoor living.

This year has seen resurgence in the bistro style mosaic tile tables accompanied by a pair of metallic chairs, perfect for patios large or small. Also back in vogue are real wood garden furniture sets for those who can afford to splash out a little extra. For a co-ordinated look buy a parasol, cushions and sun lounger or two all in the same style. Parasols come in a variety of shapes; square, round or hexagonal and emblazoned with stripes, solid colours or just presented in the perennial favourite of white.

Or you may prefer a modern all-metallic look with woven black fabrics; that too is readily available from a variety of outlets. Perhaps a trip to the local garden centre may be the best way to decide. Many major garden centres have a large range of garden furniture all set up for you to try and decide which would fit best into your garden. All you have to do then is pay, have it delivered and look forward to a cracking summer in the open air!

Buying FSC Wood Garden Furniture

If you’re unsure about buying wooden garden furniture because you’re not sure how environmentally sound it is, all you need to do is look for the FSC logo.

We explain how it works:

What is the FSC?

The Forest Stewardship Council is there to enable consumers to buy forest products (including garden furniture) safe in the knowledge that you are not contributing to global forest destruction. The FSC is an international non-profit organization founded in 1993 to support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.

FSC-certified forests are managed so that they can supply timber in the long term while protecting the environment and anyone who depends on the forest.

As well as wood, the FSC certification covers other forest products such as latex and food.

Buying FSC Furniture is getting easier and easier as more and more manufacturers look to manufacture Garden Furniture from FSC and sustainable resources meeting customer demands. It is important that you look for the logo when buying to ensure it meets the FSC criteria. Buying FSC Furniture makes a lot of sense.

How Green is Your Garden Furniture?

Posted by Tags: , ,

We’re all trying to do our bit for the environment these days and most of us try to consider the origin and impact of the goods we buy on the world around us. In reality, we tend to check where our food, clothes and perhaps cosmetics come from and what ingredients or materials were used, far more often than our furniture. This should not be the case, especially when it comes to garden furniture, given the amount of wooden material used in garden furniture in an age of diminishing forests. Rawgarden, the leading online retailer of garden furniture and accessories, urges you to ask: “How green is your garden furniture?”

A good deal of garden furniture is made from some sort of wood: from picnic tables, garden benches and tables to sun loungers and garden parasols. Consider the words of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC): “Every year an area half the size of the UK is cleared of natural forests: temperate and tropical, North and South and on every continent. These forests, which once covered half of the planet, are irreplaceable and their loss has profound economic, social and environmental impacts…The products of this illegal trade can be found throughout the UK, from building sites to private homes. We think this is unacceptable and we exist to make sure people can buy timber and wood products with the confidence that they are contributing towards safeguarding the world’s forests.”

It can be difficult to work out the origins of your existing garden furniture when asking yourself how green it is. Simpler then to follow the FSC’s advice and buy all your future garden furniture from a company with an FSC Chain of Custody certification; a company such as Rawgarden. As the FSC says itself, “This system allows consumers to identify, purchase and use timber and forest products produced from well-managed forests.”

Rawgarden is committed to using sustainable timber from managed plantations and, wherever possible, FSC certified wood. On the comprehensive and easy-to-use Rawgarden website, you can clearly see products made from FSC certified wood: simply look for the FSC’s “tick tree” logo and you’ll know that purchasing that product will not contribute to the destruction of the world’s forests. Rawgarden not only stocks a wide range of top-brand FSC certified products, but also designs and manufactures its own-brand range of furniture and equipment that also proudly boasts FSC logos – further commitment of the company’s green ethos.

Considering the environment need not mean compromising on quality or style. Rawgarden is equally committed to maintaining the highest of standards when it comes to its range of products as it is to its green policy. This means products that are always stylish and attractive whilst meeting exacting standards of quality when it comes to design and manufacture. Choose Rawgarden for your garden furniture and you can rest assured that you are getting the best when it comes to style, design, materials, quality and the environment.

Buying Aluminium Garden Furniture

Posted by Tags: , , ,

When you are buying a table and chairs for your garden you have to decide what you want it to be made of.  Basically, you will have to choose between plastic, wood or metal garden furniture.  A lot of people tend to automatically go for wood or plastic but this is not always such a good idea.

Plastic chairs can be a little bit on the weak side and can become brittle over time; you really don’t want to sit down on one and have it collapse.  They are also prone to fading in the sun.  When this occurs they can often end up looking really patchy and discoloured.

If you opt for a wooden table and chairs then sooner or later they are going to need treating.  Having to apply a varnish every year or so involves a lot of work if it is going to be done properly.  If you have plenty of time to spare then this may not bother you but a lot of people soon end up wishing that they had not chosen wood.  If a weather treatment is not applied regularly then it is only a matter of time before the wet gets into the wood and it twists out of shape.  These are all very good reasons for choosing to buy metal garden furniture instead.

Some people think that if they choose to get metal garden furniture it is going to be cumbersome and ugly.  Actually, this could not be further from the truth.  If you have got any concerns about the chairs being a little bit heavy for moving around you should consider the ranges that are on offer in aluminium. Also, a lot of the modern designs in wrought iron are foldable.  This makes life a lot easier if tables and chairs need to be moved when it comes to mowing the lawn or storing them for the winter.  As for them being ‘ugly’, anyone who thinks this has obviously not had a look at the styles that are on sale.  There are some beautiful sets of tables and chairs in both contemporary and traditional designs.

There are plenty of online companies who deal specifically in metal garden furniture.  Their websites are normally very easy to navigate so you will quickly be able to find exactly which section you are looking for.  There are also great ranges available in things such as; swing seats, patio furniture, garden benches and picnic tables.

Whether it is wrought iron or aluminium garden furniture that you settle on, they are both great choices.  When they are delivered to you they will arrive in flat packs.  Assembling the items is very straightforward and full instructions are always included.

Once you have got your metal garden furniture you can be happy in the knowledge that you are never going to have to spend time applying preservative and it is not going to fade or become discoloured.  It will be very sturdy and it should last you for a great many years.

Posted by Tags: , , , , , ,

Summer’s finally on its way, a time to get out into the garden, plant those gorgeous summer plants, and make the garden look lovely and tranquil. Summer really does bring out the best in people, and it is a great time to catch up with family and friends in the garden whilst having a BBQ with a few beers and burgers. Of course entertaining family and friends does need a little more than a BBQ, as they will also need somewhere to perch them bottoms, and a place to eat their food from.

A Garden without garden furniture is bland, boring and more importantly, uncomfortable. Who needs grass stains when you can choose comfort and invest in some lovely garden furniture? Garden furniture is available in many different types of wood and styles; there is something to suit all needs and budgets and weather conditions, especially those living in the UK where the weather is so unpredictable.

Some of the most popular garden furniture products on the market today come in teak, cane and hardwood. Teak is probably the most expensive of the three but is renowned for being extremely hard wearing and aesthetically pleasing on the eye. Teak furniture is in fact so hard wearing that it is able to withstand the harsh winter weather that you often get in the UK.

For something a bit more homely looking cane furniture is a very good option. Cane furniture more often than not comes with upholstery and fabrics, which makes it a lot more comfortable and appealing, however it is a good idea to keep cane furniture indoors when the weather is not particularly good.

For something a little more practical and hard wearing, that will be exposed to harsh weather conditions; it would be advisable to invest in some hardwood garden furniture. Hardwood is extremely hard wearing and able to handle the harshest of weather conditions.

For those that also like to potter in the greenhouse, with their seedlings and cuttings, it makes a big difference if you have the space to do so. Some greenhouse’s can be quite small so it is extremely important to make use of every bit of space. Greenhouse staging is a common piece of furniture for a greenhouse to get the best of the space available. Again there are different styles of staging to suit individual requirements, either one shelf or two, different heights and widths, it is also possible to purchase folding staging so that when it is not required it can easily be folded down and put away neat and tidy.
