The company is committed to bringing its customers, whether the general public or businesses, the finest quality products that stand the test of time. However, all garden furniture can benefit from a little tender loving care; here Rawgarden shares some tips on caring for your outdoor furniture.
How you care for your garden furniture depends on the materials from which it is made. Picnic tables made from teak, for instance, are hard-wearing and easy to maintain without the need for preservative treatments. They will wear well even when left outside throughout the changing seasons, although they will change colour naturally. Should you want to keep any piece of furniture made from teak in its original colour of golden brown, you need only apply a teak protector, but if you are happy with the naturally mellowing colour, then a simple wash-down occasionally will suffice.
Choose picnic tables or garden benches in Rawgarden’s own-brand Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified pine and you are sure of similar durability and strength. This is thanks to the timber being pre-treated to category 3 before being kiln-dried, resulting in a life span of over a decade. You can increase the life of your Rawgarden pine garden furniture even further by simply applying a wood sealant or protector once a year. Pine timber naturally weathers and cracks with age, but this merely adds to its character and does not affect the strength or life span of the piece of furniture in any way.
For the ultimate in durability and easy-care, there’s aluminium furniture. Aluminium café furniture and cast aluminium sun loungers are strong, resistant to rust and corrosion and light enough to be easy stacked. This, combined with the fact that they can be left outside all year long, makes aluminium a very popular material for garden furniture, particularly for pubs, cafés and restaurants, but it’s an equally good option for those looking for low maintenance furniture for their garden. The most attention aluminium furniture will need over the years is a possible re-painting of a rustproof coating.
If for any reason you are still worried about your garden furniture being left outside in all weathers, or if you simply want to keep it clean between uses, then take a look at the garden furniture covers at Rawgarden.co.uk, each specifically designed to cover barbecues, benches, tables, fire pits or garden parasols.
