Home & Garden Sale

You can find eco-friendly garden furniture on sale from retailers focusing on long-lasting, sustainable pieces. Look for FSC-certified wood, recycled materials, or responsibly sourced metals - many come with generous warranties or repair-friendly features. The best bargains tend to pop up at the end of summer, but clearance or outlet sections can surprise you year-round. Well-made furniture saves you replacing it every few years, which is the real win. Check our durable garden furniture range for pieces that stand the test of time (and weather).

To keep wooden garden furniture looking great, clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush each season. Avoid pressure washers, which can damage the grain. Once dry, apply protective oil once or twice a year to nourish the wood and shield it from moisture. Cushions should be stored indoors, and if you can, pop a cover over the furniture for winter. With a little TLC, hardwoods like teak or acacia can last for decades - and even start to look rather distinguished.

Garden furniture can be left outside all year round if it’s made from hardy materials like teak, powder-coated steel, or rust-resistant aluminium. These weatherproof heroes are built to endure British winters (and the odd scorcher). That said, using covers or moving pieces to shelter will help them age more gracefully. Always stash cushions indoors or in a waterproof box to avoid soggy surprises come spring.

The longest-lasting materials for outdoor furniture include teak, powder-coated stainless steel, and recycled HDPE plastic. These can handle sun, rain, and frost without flinching. Teak’s natural oils fend off rot and insects, powder-coated metal resists rust, and HDPE won’t crack or splinter. Many quality pieces using these materials come with warranties of 10 years or more - proof you’re not just buying furniture, you’re investing in peace of mind.

To clean garden cushions properly, brush off loose dirt and gently spot-clean with warm soapy water. Let them dry completely before storing them somewhere dry and well-ventilated. Ideally, use a cushioned storage box or bring them indoors during colder months. Some covers are machine-washable - check the care label before chucking them in. With a bit of care, quality cushions stay bright, springy, and pong-free for years.

Yes, acacia wood is a durable choice for garden furniture when cared for correctly. It’s naturally resistant to moisture and hard-wearing, making it a smart outdoor option. Just apply a nourishing wood oil once or twice a year and avoid letting water pool on the surface. When well-made and well-kept, acacia furniture can last over a decade - and often comes with 5-year warranties or more.

Yes, you can repaint metal or wood garden furniture yourself with the right prep. For wood, sand off old paint, clean well, and use exterior wood paint or stain. For metal, remove any rust, clean thoroughly, then apply a primer followed by outdoor metal paint. Let it all dry properly between steps. A good repaint freshens up tired furniture and keeps it going strong - like a facelift with a paintbrush.
