Benefits of Plastic Rattan Garden Furniture

Durability and Longevity

Plastic rattan garden furniture is exceptionally durable and designed to be weather-resistant and withstand British weather, from UV rays to rain and snow. Unlike natural rattan, it doesn’t rot or deteriorate, making it a more reliable option for outdoor use.

With minimal upkeep required, a quick wipe or rinse is enough to keep it looking its best, making it a practical, low-maintenance choice.

Cost-Effective

Plastic rattan garden furniture is a more affordable alternative to natural rattan and other garden furniture. Its long-lasting durability and low maintenance requirements mean fewer replacements and repairs, offering excellent long-term value.

It’s a smart investment for those looking for stylish, durable furniture without ongoing upkeep costs.

Aesthetic Appeal

Mimicking the look of natural rattan, known as the rattan effect, plastic wicker furniture is available in a variety of stylish colours, including brown, grey, white, beige, and black.

It fits seamlessly with different garden styles, whether you're after a modern corner sofa set, a 3-piece bistro set, or a cosy 2-seater armchair.

Different Types of Plastic Rattan Weaves

Flat Weave

Flat weave is a more affordable and lightweight option, ideal for modern styles and smaller budgets. Despite its lower price, the tight weave ensures durability and weather resistance, making it a practical yet stylish choice for outdoor furniture.

Half-Round Weave

Half-round weave strikes a balance between durability and a premium appearance, perfect for mid-range budgets. Its thicker design adds strength and a touch of luxury, making it a popular option for plastic rattan Sofas and Lounge Sets.

Full-Round Weave (Rod Weave)

Full-round weave, or rod weave, offers the highest level of durability and the most authentic rattan look. Commonly used in high-end pieces like plastic rattan coffee tables and daybeds, it's ideal for those seeking top-quality and style for their outdoor space.

Frame Materials to Consider

Aluminium Frame

Aluminium frames are rust-resistant, lightweight, and durable, making them ideal for outdoor use all year round. Their resistance to the elements means they won’t corrode, and they are commonly found in plastic rattan benches, sun loungers, and dining sets, offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance option.

Steel Frame

Steel frames are heavier and more affordable but can rust if not properly coated. Despite this, they are widely used in plastic rattan chairs, sofas, and side tables due to their strength and cost-effectiveness. With proper care, they can still be a durable choice for outdoor furniture.

Powder-Coated Frame

Powder-coated frames provide extra protection against rust and harsh weather, extending the lifespan of your furniture. This coating helps ensure pieces like plastic rattan dining sets and coffee tables remain in good condition, even with long-term exposure to the elements.

What to Look For When Buying Plastic Rattan Garden Furniture

Weather Resistance

When selecting plastic rattan garden furniture, opt for PE (Polyethylene) rattan or PP (Polypropylene) rattan due to their excellent weather resistance.

These materials are designed to endure the British climate, with UV protection and water resistance, helping to keep your furniture in great condition all year round.

Comfort Features

Look for furniture with high-quality cushions that offer both comfort and lasting durability. Consider reclining or adjustable options in plastic rattan armchairs and lounge sets for extra flexibility and comfort.

Furniture Set Size and Layout

Choose furniture that suits your available space, whether it’s a plastic rattan dining set, lounge set, or daybed. For smaller spaces, stackable or foldable options, like a 3-seater corner sofa set or plastic rattan square dining table, are perfect for saving space while maintaining style.

How to Maintain Plastic Rattan Furniture

Regular Cleaning

To keep your plastic rattan furniture in good condition, use a hose and soft brush for regular cleaning. For a more thorough cleaning, use a soft cloth, water and mild detergent on PP or PU rattan to achieve the best results without causing any damage.

Seasonal Storage

To prolong the life of your rattan-effect furniture, cover it or store it indoors during the winter months to protect it from the elements. Remember to remove and store cushions separately to preserve their quality.
