Wooden Garden Furniture

Garden furniture is an essential part of any outdoor space. As soon as summer begins to arrive, we naturally want to spend more time outside, relaxing and enjoying the warmer weather.

Therefore, investing in high-quality wooden garden furniture helps create a comfortable, inviting setting where you can truly make the most of your garden.

Longevity is an important factor. While plastic furniture remains common in many UK gardens, it can become brittle and worn over time. In contrast, wooden garden furniture continues to grow in popularity thanks to its strength, durability and timeless appearance.

Quality timber not only withstands the elements but also looks and feels far more premium, ageing beautifully year after year!

It’s also important to measure your space carefully before purchasing. Think about how you want to position your furniture, particularly if you’re adding benches or larger dining sets.

If you’re incorporating wooden garden bench furniture, you could enhance the overall look by pairing it with complementary planters to create a cohesive and welcoming outdoor area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to protect wooden garden furniture
You can protect your wooden garden furniture by applying a protective treatment to your garden furniture and by cleaning it regularly with hot soapy water, or some hardwood cleaning fluid. It will make the furniture look great and last even longer. You should always make sure the surface is clean before you treat any wooden furniture. You could also lightly sand it, making sure to brush away any dust afterwards. If you need to do a second coat of the protective treatment, let the first one dry for at least an hour. Your furniture will then be ready to use again in 48 hours, and it’ll be protected for another year.
How to clean garden furniture
To clean wooden garden furniture, start by brushing off loose dirt and debris. Mix warm water with a mild soap and use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the surface, working with the grain of the wood. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry fully before use. For tougher stains or algae, a specialist wood cleaner can help restore the finish without damaging the timber. Regular cleaning and occasional re-oiling or sealing will keep your furniture looking its best.
How to clean garden furniture cushions
Remove the cushion covers if possible and check the care label for washing instructions. Most removable covers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. If the covers aren’t removable, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to spot clean stains, then rinse lightly with clean water. Always allow cushions to air dry completely before placing them back outside to prevent mildew. Storing cushions indoors or in a storage box when not in use will help prolong their lifespan.
How to paint garden furniture
Before painting garden furniture, clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry. Lightly sand wooden surfaces to remove old paint or rough patches, then wipe away dust. Apply a suitable exterior primer if needed, followed by thin, even coats of outdoor paint using a brush or roller. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next. Once finished, let the furniture cure completely before placing it back outside to ensure a durable, weather-resistant finish.
