Rattan Outdoor furniture has increasingly become a very popular choice for homeowners and garden enthusiasts, being a very stylish and comfortable furniture for use inside and out. It is no surprise that it tops the list for homeowners and consumers looking to improve their leisure space. There are a few essentials to consider before buying patio furniture.  

A very big question that most people often ask is whether to buy natural or synthetic rattan furniture?

Synthetic rattan furniture has increasingly become the best choice for outdoor garden furniture for numerous reasons. It is made from high quality HDPE (high density polyethylene) rattan, that can withstand many harsh weather conditions. Being UV resistant the colour does not fade or go brittle due to harsh weather if maintained well, easily maintained by wiping with a soft damp cloth or even a garden hose.

Don't Miss Out The Frames

A solid, sturdy frame is essential when choosing outdoor garden furniture. Non corroding material like aluminium is the best choice for it will brace all weather conditions and still stand strong. At Brooks, we offer powder coated rust proof aluminium frames, which are quite sturdy and look great. Avoid cheap rattan outdoor furniture with steel frames as this will rust over time.

Space

It is important to be aware of exactly how much space is available before choosing the right garden furniture especially if you have a limited space. If you are limited on space, you might want to consider  cube sets or a corner sofa set. Some of which come with storage options. When space is not an issue, have a look at the dining sets, the corner dining sets or the sofa sets. 

Comfort

Ensure you pay attention to the cushion and not just the weave pattern. After all you are going to sit on the furniture, so it is very important that accompanying cushions are comfortable. We offer colourful, shower proof and machine washable cushions that are fire retardant to the UK safety standards, making sure to avoid very thin cushion foam as they can be made from cheap shoddy material and lose their spring in no time.

Look for deals both online and in store

We at Brooks, give you the best price guarantee and free shipping for orders over £299* without a compromise on the quality of the products that we deliver to you.

UV resistance

Being UV resistant, rattan furniture is designed to withstand being in the extreme heat, allowing your product to be kept outside through the summer months and keep its initial high quality. 

Look for other accessories

Matching accessories like parasols, storages, lazy susans, planters, rain or cushion covers will add to the comfort and look of your outdoor garden furniture. For instance, if you live in a place where the sun shines often, a parasol will add to your comfort along with protection from the sun rays, allowing you to comfortably drink and dine outside in the shade.

Styles and colours

Outdoor rattan furniture comes in different sizes, shapes and colours; the dining sets come in square, round, oval or in rectangular shapes.

Synthetic Rattan Vs Natural Rattan

Natural rattan is made from rare species palm found mostly in the Asian continent and parts of Oceania. They look extremely beautiful but comes very expensive due to the time and process of producing it. Natural rattan needs constant extra care to keep their looks as they wear away quickly. Synthetic rattan on the other hand, is manufactured from a man-made high quality HDPE resin which is more durable and affordable too. In simpler terms, natural rattan is made from naturally grown material while synthetic rattan is made from a refined and specially treated man-made material. This enables manufacturers of synthetic rattan to add different colours and styles. Synthetic rattan offers manufacturers and consumers alike immense options compared to the hues of natural rattan.

How Rattan furniture is constructed?

Synthetic Rattan has a beautiful property that enables it take any shape without losing its flexibility even after many years of use. It does not bend or warp and keeps it's structure always. Among the various materials used in manufacturing synthetic rattan furniture, Polyethylene/Polyethene or Polyolefin are the most popular plastics in the world and it is probably the polymer you see most in daily life. It is a thermoplastic resin, which means it is recyclable, firm, closed-cell polymer, providing more sturdy rigidity. It replicates the look and feel of natural rattan, but is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. We would even go as far as to say that synthetic rattan garden sets are more durable than the natural rattan sets.

How to choose the best Rattan outdoor furniture?

Here is a checklist that will come handy whenever you are looking for a rattan outdoor furniture set.

UV resistance – since your furniture is going to be outdoors, a UV resistance is important otherwise the furniture will start to wear off in no time.

Choose cushions wisely – Cushions that have thick pads should be chosen over thin cushions for comfortable sitting. Thin cushions rarely last even a year, increasing your overall expenses. Make sure to look for fire repellent and shower proof cushions too.

Eco friendly – PE or HDPE are the best quality rattan for they do not involve the use of any chemicals or release fumes during the manufacturing process, along with being recyclable, this makes them very eco friendly. They are also more durable than the PVC and even bacteria and resistant too.

Cheaper is not always the best option – PVC rattan is obviously cheaper but this doesn’t make it the best. PE or HDPE rattan comes at a price but is true value for money.

Strong Frames – For using rattan outdoors, go for powder coated aluminium frames that do not rust even in extreme weather conditions. HDPE manufactured rattan outdoor garden furniture mostly comes with aluminium frames.

Accessories – There are many accessories to go alongside your rattan furniture like parasols and storage boxes. Do check our sales page for frequent offers and discounts on accessories and various other rattan furniture.

The colour and style

Is your patio or garden space big enough to accommodate an eight seater sofa or is it a cube sofa that it can accommodate? The styles in which the rattan outdoor garden furniture is available in today are immense. From sectional sofas, day beds, loungers, dining sets and footstools, all in various hues and tones. If however, you want to pick a more neutral tone, you can add color to the furniture with some beautiful throws or pillows that will instantly enhance the beauty of the entire setting.

How to maintain rattan outdoor garden furniture?

This versatile and very stylish furniture is very low on maintenance too. Some mild dishwashing liquid, a bowl of lukewarm water, a soft damp cloth and a soft brush is all you need to clean and remove any stain or dirt from the furniture.

You can even make use of a hose pipe to clear the dirt from extreme bends. However, do keep in mind not to scrub harshly as it may damage the finish.

Nobody wants to be misled into buying expensive fabrics that offer no added value. Rest assured, Sunbrella fabrics are used across the industry and it is for good reason that Sunbrella is the fabric of choice for many commercial purposes that see high levels of usage both indoors and outdoors.

The Sunbrella range comes in various designs, shapes and styles ranging from chairs, chaise longues, dining sets and sofa sets many of which are unique designs to Brooks Rattan.

The fabric colours are guaranteed to remain vibrant for years and if by chance your cushions get soiled or stained, cleaning is never a hassle. No other fabric has such a great track record of performing beautifully well outdoors for years than Sunbrella. Using the highest grade of fabrics, Sunbrella has an estimated lifespan of 10 years under heavy outdoor use. This is 3 times longer than other outdoor fabrics on the market. Sunbrella Fabric also have a gorgeous soft feel, making it great for indoor and outdoor cushions and pillows.

Most yarn is woven into fabric and then dyed their colour after, which means the core of the yarn is white and the colour will eventually fade. However Sunbrella is made with Solution Dyed Acrylic fabric, a process that ensures the fabric will resist fading over time. This is acheived by mixing the dye colour before it becomes a yarn, meaning the colour is true all the way through to it's core. Along with being soft to the touch and mold/mildew resistant, this makes Sunbrella Fabric a great choice for many homes, hotels, bars, restaurants and other commercial clients around the world.
