What is the best garden furniture to leave outside?

Our rattan garden furniture & weave ranges are made from synthetic material which means they can be left out all year round. To increase the longevity of the item, we recommend regular cleaning and a cover when not in use.
Wooden garden Furniture/Teak Garden Furniture
Teak and other wooden garden furniture will naturally weather due to the elements, this tends to turn the wood a silvery/grey colour, however, with regular maintenance from teak protector and teak oils, you can keep your set looking new each year.
