Now we have a nice new patio, we could do with some nice garden furniture for it where is the best place to get something half decent but not stupidly expensive? Probably looking for a medium sized table and four chairs.
Aye, my missus has made it abundantly clear that there’s to be none of that ‘wickery crap’ on our patio as it will have ‘every spider and creepy crawly using it as a hotel’…..so looks like I’m making furniture for it now instead.Rattan furniture is full of crevices and would be bug paradise.
It won’t. Creepy crawlies love the stuff. As posted above, moisture gets trapped in the furniture in all sorts of nooks and crannies providing perfect little damp, sheltered spots for the buggers to set up home.I'm sure a good jet wash every month or so would sort that out.
Some are, some aren't. Plastic coated steel is quite common, which is fine until it isn't. As soon as cracks appear in the plastic coating it becomes a moisture barrier and that's pretty much curtains for the furniture.Surely the metal frames would be aluminium? Using steel on something designed to be outside is a bit daft.
Nice one, will take a look, cheersI have a pure plastic construction set from Amazon. 7 years old. Works great. I can get my wife to ping a link if you want.
Zero cleaning - it lives outside 100% of the time. Will ask her nowNice one, will take a look, cheers
How is it for cleaning and bug control
You can get quite a range of garden corner sofas, so you’ll have plenty of choiceAre we allowed corner sofas in the garden?
What usually happens is the plastic coating on the metal breaks down over time, cracks etc and eventually lets water in at the metal underneath. At that point it’s only a matter of time before it’s for the dump.i think even then the plastic wrap traps moisture so it still rots out even under a cover.
