Where Should I Put My Rattan Garden Furniture?

What Is Rattan Furniture?

To find the best quality rattan garden furniture, it is important to understand what this material is. Rattan furniture is made from natural or synthetic weaves. Synthetic rattan is a cost effective alternative to rattan furniture, which is ideal for homeowners on a budget. Perfect for garden furniture, it is durable and easy to move around offering you plenty of choices for customisation options.

Natural rattan is a vine that is crafted in South East Asia. It is strong and durable, giving you a beautiful finish. However, it is not suitable for outdoor conditions as it rots and breaks over time. When you choose Chimes, all our materials are made from synthetic rattan, making sure it is suitable for the worst conditions while looking beautiful.

Which Weave Should I Consider? 

When considering rattan furniture, it is important to think about what weave to use. We offer our designs in bespoke colours. There are three important ones to think about. A flat weave is great value for money, perfect if you are on a budget. It is strong and durable, so if you spill any material, it can be cleaned up easily. 

The second weave pattern is the half weave, which is thicker, stronger, and imitates actual rattan. It is more costly, but you will get a feel of the real thing. 

What Setting Is Right For Me? 

With rattan garden furniture being a diverse material, it can be used for a multitude of purposes. Rattan garden furniture stands out as a sunbathers’ favourite and we offer sunbeds for those who want to lounge with a book. As a result, you can soak up the sun and take advantage of a warmer space. 

At Chimes, we also offer rattan dining sets. These come in 6 and 8 seater designs, which gives you plenty of choices and options. If you are looking for a distinctive style, choose from our cube sets which fold away. This ensures they are a great space saver. 

If you are looking to entertain guests, then our selection of rattan garden furniture is ideal for your home. To create a focal point, choose one of our forte pits. They deliver plenty of natural heat, saving plenty of money on energy bills over time. 

Placement affects how the furniture will operate. It depends on how big your area is. For small enclosures, a cube set is ideal because it is small and saves space. However, for a larger area which could be used as an entertainment hub, choose a dining set or a sunbed. 

Other Things to Consider

Whichever rattan garden furniture set you choose, there are some important things to consider. For example, when thinking about a dining table, consider the space around it as this could determine how many people enter the area. If it is near a wall, leave the table 100cm away from the fence or bushes. However, if you want a fire pit, place it away from the wall to avoid accidents. 

When installing rattan furniture, it is important to think about the light placement and the view. If you have a bigger garden space, put the furniture in a south facing property, adding more light to your home. Consider adding a pergola to your space as well, which gives you an ideal area to relax. At Chimes, we also offer large parasols complimenting your table, bringing some much needed shade.
