Collection: Garden Sofa Sets

How you store your garden furniture in the winter depends on the material. Synthetic rattan, aluminium, and teak can usually handle the cold, but cushions and soft fabrics should be brought indoors or stored in a waterproof box. Natural rattan and softer woods are best kept under cover or in a shed to prevent warping, cracking, or mould. Using furniture covers during winter will also help your garden furniture last longer.

You don’t need to cover it every single night, but using garden furniture covers when it’s raining, snowing, or during long periods of bad weather will help your furniture last longer. Cushions and fabrics should always be stored somewhere dry to prevent mould and fading.

The lifespan of a garden sofa depends on the material and care. Synthetic rattan and aluminium sofas usually last 5–15 years, while teak or acacia wood sofas can last 10–20 years with proper maintenance. Keeping them clean, covered in bad weather, and storing cushions indoors will help them stay looking great for longer.

It depends on the material. Synthetic rattan, aluminium, and treated wood sofas can handle some rain, but cushions should always be brought inside or stored in a waterproof box. Natural rattan or untreated wood shouldn’t be left in the rain as it can warp, weaken, or develop mould.
