It’s hardwearing, light and inexpensive. It comes in a huge variety of styles; it’s tailored to the needs of every garden shape and every garden space. It made of bonded polypropylene, but it doesn’t necessarily look like it. It’s resin!
Resin garden furniture is more popular than ever; partly because of price, undeniably, but also because it’s a perfect fit with almost any garden. It combines the style of wooden furniture, with the light modern qualities of metal. But it’s available in a thousand more colours, shades and styles than either. It even comes in specially textured varieties, designed to give the appearance and feel of teak.
Resin garden sets really are designed for every garden. Sets range from single seat tables to full blown family sets. The chairs stack up to save space, and because they’re so lightweight; tables, chairs, parasols and all can be packed up, put away and retrieved with next to no effort. If you’ve got the space, it means you can leave your garden set out all summer long and move it from the patio to the deck and back before retiring to the garden, with table in tow for tea. It’s lightweight; it’s portable, so just sit where the mood takes you.
And if you haven’t got the space, don’t worry, it doesn’t matter. Resin furniture is easy to carry; easy to pack away and just as easy to unpack. Everything folds flat, so you won’t even need much in the way of storage space. Rain clouds gathering? No problem. You can just carry your party inside, tables and all. Then, when the weather turns, you’ll be able to reconvene in a trice. (Try doing that with your wooden dinner table!) That surely makes resin the best bet set for the English summer!
Resin garden sets are designed for every budget too. Its no exaggeration to say that a resin bistro set with chairs can set you back as little as a swanky bistro breakfast for two!
Of course, resin garden furniture is absolutely perfect for young families. The kids can treat them with the same sort of disdain they normally reserve for your finest breakables – fortunately resin furniture sets are guaranteed to be a lot hardier. It doesn’t matter if they ride into them or upend them or spill their dinner, paints or drinks down them; they’ll always wipe clean and emerge unscathed. You’ll notice that resin garden sets almost always have smooth rounded edges too. So you won’t have to worry about damage to your table, or, even more importantly, damage to your kids!
So, its great for families and its great for the pocket; but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to compromise on quality. Resin furniture is sleek, stylish and looks right at home in any garden. Bigger tables and high backed chairs blend into bigger garden spaces as comfortably as varnished wood, but there’s nothing heavy or overpowering about resin; that’s why it’s just as good in small gardens. It’s solid, but lightweight. It’s comfortable and it’s cool. And because it’s so adaptable, it can mimic most any other kind of furniture. You’ll be hard pushed to distinguish a texturised, verdigris styled resin chair from an antique copper chair.
Resin furniture is a hardy perennial that’s high style and low maintenance; no wonder it’s sprouting up in gardens all over the country.
