Decoding the Rattan Myth: Natural vs. Synthetic

 

The first, and most crucial, step in buying Rattan Garden Furniture is understanding that there are two entirely different products sold under the same name:

Feature	Natural Rattan (DO NOT BUY FOR OUTDOORS)	Synthetic (PE) Rattan (DRINAGH'S CHOICE)
Material	A natural vine.	High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Resin.
Weather Resistance	Zero. Highly susceptible to moisture, mould, cracking, and UV degradation.	100% Weatherproof, Frostproof, & UV Stabilised.
Durability	Low. Must be stored in winter.	High. Designed to be left outside year-round.
Expert Verdict	Suitable only for sunrooms or conservatories.	The ONLY acceptable choice for a garden in Ireland.

The Three Non-Negotiables for All-Weather Rattan

 

At Drinagh Garden Centre, we rigorously vet our collections to ensure they meet three essential criteria necessary for an Irish outdoor product:

 

1. The Frame: Aluminium is Non-Negotiable

 

In Ireland’s damp climate, steel frames rust within one to two seasons, leading to structural collapse and brown stains on your patio.

• The Drinagh Standard: Every piece of our Rattan Garden Furniture is built on a Powder-Coated Aluminium Frame. Aluminium is naturally rust-proof and lightweight, ensuring your large Rattan Corner Sofa is sturdy yet easy to move.

 

2. The Weave: True High-Density PE Rattan

 

Our PE Rattan is extruded and hand-woven to withstand massive temperature shifts and UV exposure without fading or snapping.

• Durability: This premium synthetic fibre retains its flexibility and colour for years, resisting the brutal sun-and-rain cycle that breaks down cheaper materials.

 

3. The Cushions: Quick-Dry Technology

 

We know an unexpected Irish shower can catch you out. Our cushions feature:

• Quick-Dry Core: A foam designed to allow water to drain rapidly, preventing a soggy seat and eliminating the risk of mildew and mould build-up.

• Spun Polyester Covers: UV-resistant fabric that protects against fading, keeping your set looking new for longer.

How to Choose the Best Garden Furniture for Your Outdoor Space

Garden furniture, also known as outdoor furniture or patio furniture, is a type of furniture that is designed to be used outdoors. It can enhance the beauty and functionality of your garden, patio, balcony, or any other outdoor space. Whether you want to relax, entertain, dine, or play, there is a garden furniture set that suits your needs and preferences.

But how do you choose the best garden furniture for your outdoor space? There are many factors to consider, such as the size, shape, style, material, durability, comfort, maintenance, and budget of your garden furniture. In this blog post, we will guide you through some of the most important aspects of choosing the best garden furniture for your outdoor space.

Size and Shape

The first thing to consider is the size and shape of your outdoor space. You want to make sure that your garden furniture fits well in your available space and leaves enough room for movement and circulation. You also want to consider the shape of your outdoor space and how it affects the layout and arrangement of your garden furniture.

For example, if you have a small balcony or patio, you might want to opt for a small outdoor table and chairs set, such as a bistro set or a 3 piece patio set, that can fit in a corner or against a wall. If you have a large garden or lawn, you might want to go for a larger outdoor dining set or a patio set with fire pit that can accommodate more people and create a focal point in your outdoor space. If you have a round or oval-shaped outdoor space, you might want to choose a round garden table or a rattan corner sofa set that can complement the curves of your space.

Style and Material

The next thing to consider is the style and material of your garden furniture. You want to choose a style and material that matches your personal taste and the theme of your outdoor space. You also want to consider the durability, comfort, maintenance, and weather-resistance of your garden furniture material.

For example, if you want a classic and elegant look for your outdoor space, you might want to choose wrought iron patio furniture or cast aluminum patio furniture that can add some charm and sophistication to your garden. These materials are also very durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions. However, they might require some regular painting or coating to prevent rusting and corrosion.

If you want a modern and sleek look for your outdoor space, you might want to choose metal outdoor furniture or aluminum outdoor furniture that can create a minimalist and contemporary vibe in your garden. These materials are also very lightweight and easy to move around. However, they might get hot or cold depending on the temperature and might need some cushions or pads for extra comfort.

If you want a natural and cozy look for your outdoor space, you might want to choose wooden garden furniture or rattan garden furniture that can blend in with the surroundings and create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your garden. These materials are also very comfortable and can add some texture and character to your outdoor space. However, they might require some regular cleaning and sealing to protect them from moisture and insects.

Comfort and Functionality

The last thing to consider is the comfort and functionality of your garden furniture. You want to choose garden furniture that meets your needs and preferences for relaxing, entertaining, dining, or playing in your outdoor space. You also want to consider the features and accessories that can enhance the comfort and functionality of your garden furniture.

For example, if you want to relax in your outdoor space, you might want to choose a sun lounger or a reclining lawn chair that can allow you to lie down and enjoy the sun. You might also want to add some cushions, pillows, blankets, or throws for extra comfort. You might also want to choose a garden parasol or a cantilever parasol that can provide some shade and protection from the sun.

If you want to entertain in your outdoor space, you might want to choose an outdoor sofa set or a corner sofa set that can offer enough seating space for your guests. You might also want to add some tables, stools, ottomans, or poufs for extra convenience. You might also want to choose an outdoor fire pit table or a patio set with fire pit that can create some ambiance and warmth in your outdoor space.

If you want to dine in your outdoor space, you might want to choose an outdoor dining set or an outdoor dining table set that can accommodate your family and friends for a meal. You might also want to add some chairs, benches, or picnic benches for extra seating. You might also want to choose a patio table umbrella or a garden umbrella with stand that can provide some cover and protection from the rain or wind.

If you want to play in your outdoor space, you might want to choose a garden swing or a garden swing seat that can offer some fun and excitement for your kids. You might also want to add some toys, games, or activities for extra entertainment. You might also want to choose an outdoor hanging chair or a hammock swing chair that can offer some relaxation and enjoyment for yourself.

Conclusion

Choosing the best garden furniture for your outdoor space can be a daunting task, but it can also be a rewarding one. By considering the size, shape, style, material, comfort, and functionality of your garden furniture, you can create an outdoor space that suits your needs and preferences. Whether you want to relax, entertain, dine, or play, there is a garden furniture set that can make your outdoor space more beautiful and functional.
