Al Fresco

 outdoor furniture

Al Fresco

With the increasingly unpredictable UK climate we tend to seize any opportunity that we can to escape outside. In order to reflect this national need, manufacturers have designed some highly desirable examples of furniture for use in the great outdoors.

Garden

For those who are lucky enough to have access to their own plot of land than one of the most pleasant ways of enjoying the occasional balmy day is to spend some time outside. Cheap outdoor furniture has come of age; decades ago you could only buy very expensive wrought iron seats and tables or rather tacky white plastic chairs that became mouldy if they were left outside for too long. Thankfully the selection of tables, chairs, parasols and all the other necessities for enjoying a meal in your garden is stunning and caters to all budgets with impressive designs.

Range

For just under £200 you can acquire 6 copper chairs, a glass and metal base table and a parasol that will complement any garden. There is little point in cultivating your external space if you don’t take the time to enjoy the fruits of all your hard work after all.

Family barbeques are a great way to entertain and are made all the more memorable by relaxing on moderately priced sofas and chairs while watching the summer sun disappear in the sky. You could also invest in a gazebo, so if that old British friend, the rain, does pay a visit you’ll be secure within your covered space.

Selection

When choosing your garden furniture, check that it’s easy to maintain and also find out if the furniture can be left outside. Most of the examples on sale can be left outdoors but might need to be covered to preserve them at their best.

Most gazebos, if made of fabric, can be dismantled and put in store for the forthcoming years. There is no better way of enjoying the odd sunny day that we get in the UK than sitting outside and taking the time to smell the pivotal British roses.

    I’ve always wanted to have a gazebo in my yard. We could really use some outdoor furniture so we can enjoy the outdoors.

    I have always dreamed of owning a gazebo, even an outdoor patio set, maybe one day I can soak up some florida sun in style 🙂

    Nice to see a UK retailer advertised on your blog! This is the perfect time to buy outdoor furniture!

    I’d love to have one of those gazebos….and that pool featured in the first image would be great as well.
