In order to spend your free time relaxing in your own garden, you need a suitable oasis of calm. Ottoman or sun lounger, swing, or a practical garden set? Feeling good and relaxing is at the top of the to-do list when it comes to garden design.
Wooden garden furniture as a climate-friendly alternative
There are many different types of wood that are ideal for garden furniture. One should give preference to softwoods, for the sake of environmental protection and local forestry. However, hardwoods are winterproof and also durable. Eucalyptus, in particular, is in great demand, but it is also extremely maintenance-intensive. This wood impresses with its high resistance to fungi, pests, and insects. It is cheaper than teak.
The popular teak wood is durable and can spend the winter outside without losing any of its quality. With so many short winters, you save yourself the hassle of storing it in the gazebo or the cellar. It also withstands a storm. However, the price is a big drawback. However, if you consider that you have owned such a noble complete set for a good 25 years, you see it in a different light.
Another alternative would be the so-called “false acacia”. Behind it is the wood of a Robinia, which grows in the local forests and is harder than oak. It is very popular in outdoor furniture because it is weather resistant and durable. In addition, it is also affordable in price. The wood has a fine grain.
Not all garden chairs are the same?
There are still a number of questions to be answered before making a decision. Do you prefer a chair with an integrated armrest or should it be a garden chair without armrests? Then there are a wide variety of options for folding chairs or adjustable high-back chairs.
If you have finally made the right choice, then you have to be lucky enough to find enough chairs in the required design and size as well as the desired design. The selection for a garden setting is much easier.
Advantages and arguments for garden sets
The strongest argument for choosing one of the garden sets is the price. These complete sets are ideally matched and impressed with their harmony. Smaller sets are often space-saving because they can be folded or stacked.
A set with an extendable table is ideal so that a larger group is not a problem. The visitor is comfortably accommodated, nothing stands in the way of a relaxed get-together in the garden.
