Garden Furniture

Garden Furniture Sets

The garden furniture sets collection includes outdoor sofa sets, patio conversation sets, four-seater furniture, larger dining arrangements and modular lounge furniture. The main differences are seating capacity, overall footprint, table height, frame material and cushion design. Before choosing a set, measure the available patio or garden area and allow enough space for people to walk around the furniture and pull out chairs.

Four-Seater Aluminium Garden Sofa Sets

A four-seater outdoor sofa set can provide a separate seating area for relaxing and entertaining in the garden. The Outsunny four-seater aluminium garden furniture set with loveseat, armchairs and coffee table includes a two-seater sofa, two armchairs and a matching low table.

The loveseat measures 120 x 73 x 69 cm, each armchair measures 62 x 73 x 69 cm and the coffee table measures 90 x 49 x 40 cm. The furniture uses a powder-coated aluminium frame, a wood-plastic slatted tabletop and polyester cushions. Seat cushions are 10 cm thick.

The manufacturer states a maximum load of 240 kg for the loveseat, 120 kg for each armchair and 50 kg for the table. These ratings apply to different components and should not be combined into a single capacity for the whole set.

For a patio seating arrangement, consider whether the low coffee table suits casual drinks and snacks or whether you need a taller outdoor dining table for meals. Store cushions appropriately during prolonged wet weather.

Outdoor Dining Sets for Four to Six People

Outdoor dining sets differ from garden lounge furniture because the tables and chairs are designed around seated dining rather than relaxed sofa-style seating. For family meals, compare table height, available legroom, the number of chairs and whether the table includes a suitable parasol opening.

A dining set with folding chairs can make seasonal storage easier. Before choosing a larger arrangement, measure the space needed for chairs to move backwards from the table and consider whether the furniture will remain outside throughout the year.

Rattan Furniture

The rattan garden furniture collection includes PE rattan sofas, corner seating, outdoor dining sets, rattan tables and reclining loungers. Many designs combine synthetic woven rattan with metal frames and separate cushions. Compare the frame construction, seating dimensions, cushion thickness and care requirements rather than relying only on the appearance of the weave.

Rattan Corner Sofa Sets with Chaise Lounges

A corner sofa can make use of a defined patio seating area, although the direction and dimensions of the chaise need to match the available space. The Outsunny three-piece rattan garden corner sofa set with chaise lounge and glass coffee table includes a loveseat, chaise lounge and matching table.

The L-shaped seating arrangement measures approximately 166 x 115 x 79 cm. The loveseat measures 110 x 60 x 79 cm, the chaise measures 55 x 115 x 79 cm and the coffee table measures 71 x 40 x 39 cm.

The set combines handwoven PE rattan with a powder-coated steel frame, polyester cushions and a tempered-glass tabletop. Its seat cushions are 5 cm thick and the back cushions are 10 cm thick. The cushion covers are removable for cleaning.

Before choosing a corner arrangement, check the location of the chaise, the width of the seating area and the clearance required around the coffee table. The overall size of a sofa set does not always indicate how many people can sit comfortably in every position.

Convertible Rattan Loveseats and Garden Daybeds

A convertible outdoor loveseat provides a different seating arrangement from a fixed garden bench or sofa. The Outsunny two-seater rattan garden sofa with fold-down armrests and daybed configuration measures 129 x 63 x 67 cm in sofa mode.

When the armrests are lowered, the extended arrangement measures 167 x 63 x 66 cm. The structure uses a steel frame with rattan-style weaving, padded seat and back cushions, and removable cushion covers. The manufacturer states a maximum load of 220 kg.

This design can be useful for relaxing with your legs extended on a suitable patio. The convertible arrangement is intended for outdoor lounging and should not automatically be considered a replacement for a conventional sleeping bed.

Choosing PE Rattan Garden Furniture

PE rattan is a synthetic woven material commonly used for outdoor seating. The weaving itself and the supporting frame are separate components, so it is important to check whether the internal structure uses steel or aluminium and what surface protection is provided.

For Irish weather, pay particular attention to rainwater drainage, cleaning around the weave and storage of removable cushions. Water-resistant synthetic rattan does not mean that the complete sofa, including its cushions and internal fittings, can remain exposed to every weather condition without maintenance.

Sun Loungers

The garden sun loungers collection includes folding loungers, reclining chairs, zero-gravity seats and rattan sunbeds. The main differences include reclining positions, seat width, frame materials, cushions and folded dimensions. For a small patio or balcony, measure the length of the chair when fully reclined rather than relying only on its upright dimensions.

Foldable Sun Loungers with Adjustable Backrests

A folding sun lounger can be useful where seating needs to be moved or stored between uses. The Outsunny portable folding sun lounger with five-position backrest and reading face opening measures 185 x 55 x 29 cm when fully reclined.

It features a powder-coated steel frame, Oxford fabric seat, adjustable backrest, padded headrest and side storage pocket. The face opening and arm slots provide an additional position for reading while lying face down. The maximum stated load is 120 kg.

The lounger folds to approximately 72 x 55 x 10 cm for storage. Its folding construction makes it practical for moving between the garden, patio and other suitable outdoor areas. Before use, check that the reclining mechanism is securely positioned and that the ground is stable.

Zero-Gravity Chairs and Rattan Sunbeds

Zero-gravity garden chairs use reclining frames designed to support the body in a tilted position, while rattan sunbeds provide a longer lounging surface. Some designs include adjustable headrests or removable cushions.

When comparing them, check the reclining adjustment method, maximum load, usable lying length and storage dimensions. The name zero gravity describes a seating style and does not mean that the chair provides a medical benefit or is suitable for every posture.

For wet weather, inspect the frame and reclining mechanism before use and allow fabrics to dry before folding them away for longer periods.

Swing Chairs

The garden swing chairs collection includes two-seater and three-seater swing benches, wooden garden swings and models with adjustable canopies. A swing chair needs more space than a fixed garden bench because the seat moves forwards and backwards. Choose a stable, level installation area and follow the manufacturer's clearance and weather instructions.

Three-Seater Garden Swing Chairs with Canopies

The Outsunny three-seater garden swing chair with adjustable canopy and breathable mesh seat measures 171 x 108 x 150 cm.

It has a powder-coated steel frame, Texteline seat and backrest, armrests and a tilting polyester canopy. The seating area measures 131 cm wide and 47.5 cm deep, with a seat height of 42 cm. The manufacturer states a maximum combined load of 240 kg.

The canopy can be tilted to provide shade from sunlight and some protection from mild rain. It is not a permanent weather shelter, and the swing should not be used in unsafe windy conditions. Before buying, allow sufficient space for the full swinging movement and check that the supporting feet rest securely on the ground.

Wooden Swing Benches and Canopy-Free Designs

Wooden garden swing benches offer a different appearance from metal swings with fabric seats. Some models include a freestanding wooden support structure, while others have simpler bench designs or no canopy.

Before choosing, compare the seat width, overall frame dimensions, maximum supported load and assembly requirements. Wood exposed to outdoor conditions may require periodic cleaning and protective maintenance according to the product instructions.

Hammocks

The garden hammocks and hanging chairs collection includes fabric hammocks, hammock stands, hanging egg chairs and freestanding swing chairs. These products differ in how they support the user. Some have integrated metal frames, while others require a compatible separately purchased hanging structure.

Freestanding Hanging Egg Chairs with Cushions

A hanging egg chair with its own stand can provide a compact seating area without requiring a suitable ceiling beam or tree. The Outsunny freestanding hanging egg chair with foldable basket and padded cushion measures 120 x 88 x 192 cm.

The chair combines a powder-coated steel frame, woven polypropylene rope, a foldable basket and a thick cushion with a separate head pillow. The sitting surface measures 72 x 56 cm, while the main cushion is 20 cm thick. The maximum stated load is 120 kg.

Its adjustable suspension chain allows changes to the hanging position, and an additional fastening helps limit excessive movement. Before placing it on a balcony or patio, check the full height, floor clearance and room for gentle swinging. Protect the cushions and frame from prolonged exposure to rain and wind.

Double Hanging Egg Chairs for Two People

For a wider outdoor seating arrangement, the Outsunny double hanging egg chair with metal stand, cushions and cup holders measures 126 x 126 x 176 cm.

It includes a curved double-seat basket, thick cushion, steel frame, folding basket design and cup pockets on both sides. The usable seat measures 98 x 47 cm, and the manufacturer states a maximum combined load of 240 kg.

The seat requires adequate surrounding clearance even though the basket can be folded for storage. Check the available space and avoid exceeding the stated combined load. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and safe swinging movement.

Fabric Hammocks and Separate Hammock Stands

Traditional fabric hammocks can provide a reclining surface supported between compatible attachment points. The hammocks with stands and separate hammock frames range includes freestanding designs and individual support stands.

Before ordering, check whether the package includes the hammock fabric, the stand or both. Stand-only products are not complete hammocks. Compare the required hanging length, fixing points, maximum load and amount of clear space around the structure.

Bistro Sets

The garden bistro sets collection includes compact patio tables with two chairs, folding balcony furniture and cast aluminium dining sets. A two-seater bistro set can be useful on a small patio or balcony where a larger dining arrangement would obstruct movement. Compare table diameter, chair width, folded dimensions and whether the set includes cushions or a parasol opening.

Folding Bistro Sets for Small Balconies

The Outsunny folding rattan bistro set with two chairs and a small round table includes two folding armchairs and a matching table.

Each chair measures 66 x 67 x 78 cm, while the round table measures 45 cm in diameter and 42 cm high. The structure combines rattan weaving with galvanised steel frames. Each chair supports up to 120 kg and the table supports up to 30 kg.

The chairs fold to 88 x 66 x 8 cm, while the table folds to 86 x 45 x 7 cm. The set is supplied assembled and can be opened for use without a separate assembly procedure.

For a compact balcony, measure the usable width after opening both chairs. Check the safe load capacity of the balcony itself and avoid blocking doors, drainage points or access routes.

Cast Aluminium Bistro Sets with Parasol Holes

The Outsunny white cast aluminium bistro set for two with round parasol table includes a round dining table and two matching chairs.

The table measures 60 cm in diameter and 67 cm high. Each chair measures 42.5 x 47.5 x 89 cm, with a seat height of 41 cm. The table has a 44 mm parasol opening, a maximum load of 30 kg and a separate maximum of 120 kg for each chair.

The set includes adjustable feet and a decorative floral design. Before fitting a parasol, verify that the pole diameter is compatible with the table opening and that the parasol has the correct separate supporting base. A hole in the tabletop does not replace the need for a suitable weighted base.

Garden Chairs & Seating

The garden chairs and outdoor seating collection includes garden benches, dining chairs, rocking chairs, glider seats and freestanding lounge chairs. These products can be purchased separately from complete furniture sets and combined with a suitable garden table or placed along a garden path.

Decorative Cast Aluminium Garden Benches

A metal garden bench can provide fixed seating along a patio or in a suitable garden position. The Outsunny vintage-style cast aluminium garden bench with decorative backrest measures 100 x 54 x 78 cm.

Its cast aluminium construction features a decorative curved backrest, armrests and a vintage green finish. The seat height is 40 cm, and the manufacturer states a maximum load of 240 kg. The bench weighs approximately 10 kg and requires assembly.

Before purchasing, compare the bench width and seat height with the intended users. Check that the supporting surface is stable and that the furniture will not obstruct pathways or access to garden gates.

Folding Garden Dining Chairs and Rocking Chairs

Folding garden dining chairs can be useful when additional seating is needed only during gatherings. A rocking chair provides a different movement pattern and requires more clearance than a fixed chair.

For dining chairs, compare the seat height with the table height and check whether the armrests fit beneath the tabletop. For rocking chairs, ensure the frame has enough space to move without contacting walls, railings or other furniture.

Garden Tables

The garden tables collection includes outdoor dining tables, compact patio tables, coffee tables and tables supplied as part of dining furniture sets. A low coffee table suits relaxed sofa seating, while a taller garden dining table is designed for meals with suitable dining chairs. Before buying, measure the usable tabletop area, legroom and available clearance around the table.

Outdoor Dining Tables with Folding Chairs and Parasols

For a small family dining area, the Outsunny outdoor dining set with round tempered glass table, four folding chairs and parasol includes a round dining table, four matching chairs and a separate parasol.

The table measures 80 cm in diameter and 69.5 cm high. Each chair measures 51.5 x 64 x 93 cm, and the supplied parasol measures approximately 170 cm in diameter and 200 cm high.

The structure combines steel, polyester fabric and tempered glass. Each chair has a maximum stated load of 120 kg, while the table has a separate 50 kg load limit.

Before choosing a patio dining table with a parasol, check the size and positioning of the table, the space needed for all four chairs and the manufacturer's requirements for parasol stability. Remove or secure the parasol appropriately when weather conditions are unsuitable.

Choosing Between Outdoor Coffee Tables and Dining Tables

Garden coffee tables are generally lower than outdoor dining tables. They are designed for use beside sofas, armchairs or lounge seating rather than full-height dining chairs. A compact dining table is better suited to seated meals when paired with chairs of a compatible seat height.

When choosing a glass-top table, check that the glass is fitted correctly and inspect it for damage before use. For wooden, metal or plastic tabletops, compare cleaning requirements, water drainage and the specified weight capacity.

Cushions & Covers

The garden furniture cushions and covers collection includes seat pads, bench cushions, replacement sofa cushions and protective furniture covers. Cushions are selected according to the dimensions of the seat and backrest, while furniture covers need to fit the complete outdoor furniture arrangement. A larger cover is not always more suitable, because excess fabric can collect water or move in the wind.

Replacement Cushions for Rattan Garden Furniture

Replacement seat and back cushions can help refresh a suitable garden sofa without replacing the entire furniture set. The Outsunny two-piece rattan garden chair replacement cushions with removable covers includes one seat cushion and one back cushion.

The seat cushion measures 56 x 52 x 7 cm, while the back cushion measures 56 x 46 x 7 cm. Both use polyester fabric and padding, and the covers can be removed for cleaning.

Before choosing replacement cushions, measure the furniture's usable seating area and backrest. Check whether the cushion shape, thickness and fastening arrangement match the original furniture.

Garden Bench Cushions with Tie Fastenings

A full-length garden bench cushion can provide padding across both the seat and backrest. The Outsunny three-seater garden bench cushion with padded backrest and ties measures 150 x 98 cm and is 8 cm thick.

It uses polyester fabric with cotton padding and includes tie fastenings. The seat portion is approximately 49 cm deep and the backrest portion is approximately 49 cm high.

Unlike some replacement cushions with removable zipped covers, this model has a non-removable cover and should be cleaned according to its care instructions. Store it indoors or under suitable protection during wet weather.

Outdoor Furniture Covers for Rain and UV Protection

A correctly sized garden furniture cover can reduce exposure to rain, dust and sunlight when furniture is not in use. The Outsunny heavy-duty Oxford fabric garden furniture cover with water and UV-resistant coating measures 275 x 205 x 90 cm.

It is made from high-density 600D Oxford fabric with a protective coating and includes pull-cord fastenings to help secure it around suitable patio furniture arrangements. The cover is intended to protect furniture from light rain, dirt, sunlight and other routine outdoor exposure within the manufacturer's guidance.

Before ordering a furniture cover, measure the complete arrangement, including the width, depth and height of the tallest components. Leave suitable allowance for fitting the cover without creating large loose areas that may collect rainwater.

A protective cover does not make cushions or furniture completely weatherproof. Check for trapped moisture beneath covers and allow furniture to dry before covering it for extended periods. Store removable cushions indoors when recommended.

How to Choose Garden Furniture for Your Home

• Garden or patio dimensions: Measure the available floor area before buying. Allow space to walk around furniture, pull out chairs and open nearby doors.
• Seating capacity: A four-seater furniture set may combine a loveseat with two armchairs, while a dining set may include four individual chairs. Check the actual pieces supplied rather than relying only on the advertised seating number.
• Lounge or dining furniture: Low sofa tables are suitable for relaxed seating, while higher dining tables work with dining chairs. Compare seat and table heights before combining separate products.
• Small balconies: Folding bistro sets, compact chairs and narrow benches can be practical where space is limited. Consider the balcony's safe load capacity and keep access routes clear.
• Corner sofa layout: Check the direction of the chaise lounge and the dimensions of every section. Some modular designs offer different arrangements, but others have a fixed layout.
• PE rattan or natural rattan: Synthetic PE rattan is commonly used in outdoor furniture, while natural woven materials may require different protection. Check the material of both the weave and supporting frame.
• Aluminium or steel frames: Aluminium can offer corrosion resistance and relatively low weight. Steel frames may be protected by coatings, but damaged finishes can expose the material to corrosion. Compare the product specifications and care requirements.
• Wooden garden furniture: Wood can provide a natural appearance but may require regular inspection and appropriate surface treatment. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations for the particular wood and finish.
• Outdoor cushions: Check thickness, dimensions, filling and whether the cover is removable. Water-resistant cushion fabric does not mean the padding can remain wet without consequences.
• Irish rain and damp: Avoid leaving standing water on tabletops or seating surfaces. Keep drainage openings clear and allow furniture and cushions to dry before extended storage.
• Furniture covers: Measure the full furniture arrangement and compare it with the cover's stated dimensions. Check fastening methods and ventilation, especially when the furniture will be covered for several weeks.
• Folding furniture: Compare dimensions when open and folded. A folding chair or table can save storage space, but only if it can be safely moved and stored in the available area.
• Sun loungers: Check full reclining length, seat width, maximum load and adjustment mechanisms. A folding design may still occupy significant space when in use.
• Swing chairs and hammocks: Allow space for movement and check the supporting frame, suspension and weight limit. Do not attach hanging furniture to an unverified structural support.
• Parasol holes: Check the diameter of the opening and the parasol pole. A compatible table hole does not remove the need for a suitable parasol base and safe use in the wind.
• Glass tabletops: Inspect tempered glass for chips or damage, follow assembly instructions and avoid placing excessive weight or unusually hot objects on the surface.
• Seasonal storage: Clean and dry furniture before storing it. Remove cushions when recommended and inspect metal fittings, wood surfaces, rattan weaving and moving parts before the next season.
• Assembly and delivery: Larger garden furniture sets may arrive in multiple boxes. Check the package contents, access through doors and the space needed to assemble the furniture safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garden Furniture

What garden furniture is best for Irish weather?

The most suitable choice depends on the location, level of exposure and maintenance. Aluminium, protected steel and PE rattan are commonly used in outdoor furniture, but no material makes an entire furniture set immune to weather damage. Check the manufacturer's instructions for rain, moisture, cleaning and storage.

Is rattan garden furniture suitable for outdoor use in Ireland?

Many PE rattan furniture sets are designed for suitable outdoor use. However, the supporting frame, cushions and fittings may have different weather-resistance properties. Regular cleaning, appropriate furniture covers and indoor cushion storage may still be necessary.

Is all-weather rattan furniture completely waterproof?

Not necessarily. The term all-weather may describe resistance to normal outdoor exposure, but it does not guarantee that the complete furniture set, including cushions and frames, is waterproof under all conditions. Always check the specifications and care instructions for the individual product.

Is aluminium garden furniture better than steel furniture?

Both materials are used in outdoor furniture. Aluminium is often chosen for its relatively low weight and corrosion resistance, while steel can offer different structural characteristics and may have protective powder coatings. The best option depends on construction, maintenance and intended use.

What is included in a four-seater garden furniture set?

The contents vary by product. Some four-seater sets include a loveseat, two armchairs and a coffee table. Others may use four individual chairs or a different seating arrangement. Check the package list and the weight limits of each component.

What garden furniture should I choose for a small patio?

A two-seater bistro set, compact bench or narrow lounge arrangement may be practical. Measure the space occupied by the furniture and allow room to open doors, move chairs and walk around the seating area. Folding furniture can be useful if the patio serves several purposes.

How much space is needed around a garden dining set?

Allow room for the table and chairs in their normal positions, plus additional clearance for pulling chairs backwards and moving around them. The exact amount depends on the chair dimensions and available layout. Measuring only the table is not enough to determine whether a set will fit.

What is the difference between a bistro set and a garden dining set?

A bistro set is usually a compact table-and-chair arrangement for two people. Garden dining sets can include larger tables and seating for several people. Bistro sets are often suitable for balconies and small patios, while larger dining sets require more floor space.

Can garden furniture cushions stay outside in the rain?

Only within the limits stated by the manufacturer. Some cushion covers resist light moisture, but the filling may still become wet. Remove and dry cushions when necessary, and store them indoors or in suitable dry storage during prolonged periods of rain.

How do I choose the right size garden furniture cover?

Measure the complete furniture arrangement, including its widest, deepest and tallest points. Compare these measurements with the cover dimensions and consider the fastening system. A cover should fit securely without excessive loose fabric or areas where water can collect.

Can garden furniture be left outside all winter?

Some outdoor furniture is intended for prolonged outdoor exposure, while other products require protection or storage. In Ireland, rain, wind and prolonged dampness can affect materials and cushions. Follow the manufacturer's care recommendations and inspect furniture regularly.

Is a folding sun lounger suitable for a balcony?

A folding sun lounger may be suitable if there is enough space to use it in its fully reclined position. Check the open and folded dimensions, weight capacity and floor stability. Ensure it does not obstruct doors or emergency access.

What is the difference between a swing chair and a hanging egg chair?

A garden swing chair usually has a bench-style seat supported by a freestanding frame. A hanging egg chair has a suspended basket-shaped seat, often with its own stand. They have different footprints, suspension arrangements and movement requirements.

Can a hanging egg chair be installed on any balcony?

Not automatically. A freestanding egg chair needs suitable floor space and a surface capable of supporting its total load. A chair suspended from a building structure requires verified attachment points. Check the product dimensions and obtain appropriate advice if structural suitability is uncertain.

Does a garden table with a parasol hole include a parasol?

Not always. Some outdoor furniture sets include a parasol, while other tables only have an opening for a compatible pole. Check the package contents, hole diameter and whether a suitable weighted parasol base is included or must be purchased separately.

How do I clean PE rattan garden furniture?

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth and clean the surface according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh abrasives and inspect the weave for damage. Allow the furniture to dry properly, particularly before fitting a protective cover for an extended period.

How should I maintain wooden garden furniture?

Check the condition of the timber, protective finish and fixings periodically. Clean the wood using suitable products and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for any required protective treatment. Avoid prolonged contact with standing water.

Are replacement garden cushions universal?

No. Replacement cushions vary in width, depth, thickness, shape and fastening methods. Measure the actual seat and backrest before buying, and check whether the product has removable washable covers or requires surface cleaning.

How should I store garden furniture during winter?

Clean and dry the furniture, inspect its moving parts and use suitable storage or protective covers according to the manufacturer's instructions. Store removable cushions in a dry, ventilated area. Folding chairs and small tables may be easier to keep indoors or in a shed when not in use.
