When we think of garden furniture we think of solid hardwood garden furniture, considerable in size, heavy, ideal for those with idyllic countryside surroundings and left outside to battle the weather all year round or as some would say give it a bit of character. Whether that sounds a little trite, it doesn’t escape the fact that many of us are flocking to suburban residences or city dwellings. And anyway not everyone’s taste is the same is it.

There are predominantly three types of metal garden furniture; bistro, cast iron and multi-material sets. Bistro sets are your typical two seat metal furniture set found in quaint cafe forecourts and anywhere where space is a little tight like balconies. You have the cast iron furniture set that is durable and sometimes prone to rusting if left uncovered all year round battling the outside elements. Most are moulded with a floral embellishment such as roses giving a traditional British look yet can have uncomfortable wire mesh seating.

Increasingly common in many gardens nowadays is multi-material metal garden furniture. True that many of these metal garden furniture designs take a modern approach but isn’t a welcome change to that of traditional wooden garden furniture or a gaudy cast iron set. With more choice in the market you’ll be sure to find what you want.

Multi-material metal garden furniture looks particularly eye catching on city terraces, sea-front balconies or patios. That’s not to say it looks out of place on a perfectly mown lawn but there’s something about the smooth, crisp edges of metal suiting that of a suburban landscape. Commonly made with glamorous tinted glass table tops and textile based seating metal garden furniture can be the envy of all your friends. With an easy to clean table top, barring any mishaps scratching the surfaces, and made from lightweight aluminium framing this represents garden furniture in the 21st Century.
