Choosing the Right Material for Garden Furniture

The right garden furniture would transform a garden into a living work of art. Your choice of garden furniture would change the garden into a reflection of yourself or a message of the emotions you wish to express.

The importance of good garden furniture cannot be denied. Seldom would you see gardens without furniture nowadays. As it is, they provide resting spots for some people, meeting places for others and a place to think for a few.

Choosing good garden furniture is just like choosing any other acquisition. There are many considerations to be thought of before you can actually make a choice.

The material, style, mood, location, and other details need to be included in the choosing of garden furniture.

The right material can be crucial to your purpose in having the garden.
To give you a bit of help, here are some materials that garden furniture is made of:

*Wood - garden furniture in wood may be found in different styles. Some consider wood as the best material for garden furniture as it is lightweight and pleasing to the eyes. It also blends easily with the garden life.

Wood is also comfortable, an important aspect when you think about the fact that an essential part of garden furniture is seating.

When you choose wood, go with teak. Teak is the best wood for garden furniture as it is very durable when placed outdoors. This is due to its high oil content.

Wood is also easy to clean as some warm soap, water and a brush would remove any dirt caused by constant use. Wood garden furniture also ages beautifully, blending with the colors of nature.

*Rattan or Wicker- these materials used to be unusable for garden furniture because though beautiful, they shrivel easily. However, new finishes now make rattan and wicker garden furniture more durable.

Garden furniture made of these materials tend to look quaint. They are reminiscents of tropical countries and country life.

Rattan or wicker garden furniture also tend to be very comfortable, even without additional cushions.

*Wrought iron -garden furniture made of wrought iron just looks so cool. With wrought iron garden furniture, your garden would just look regal.

Wrought iron is hand-crafted, giving garden furniture a look all its own. Wrought iron probably showcases the uniqueness of people like no other garden-furniture material.

There are, however, some disadvantages to wrought iron.

It weathers badly, as iron rusts. However, there are manufacturers who coat wrought iron garden furniture with special paint to prevent this.

Wrought iron garden furniture is also hard and not very comfortable. However, a few cushions provided during dry season should solve this.

However, you do need to invest in covers to slow down the deterioration of wrought iron garden furniture. You also need to store them during bad climate.

Plastics -while some people may scoff at the thought of plastic garden furniture, the convenience provided by the material has persuaded many people to go for it.

Plastic is very weather-resistant so you need not worry about quick deterioration. Different types of garden furniture also come in plastic. So whether you are looking for tables, chairs or any other furniture, you can be sure to find plastic ones.

Plastic is also easy to maintain as a quick wipe would clean it up.
