Even the smallest space needs somewhere to sit and chill out and we have the perfect garden furniture to suit your outdoor space. All our outdoor garden furniture is waterproof and will withstand a heavy downpour, although we do recommend that you take in the cushions and the parasol in these conditions. The parasols will repel a light rain shower but they are not intended to be an umbrella to protect against prolonged rain. Most of the cushions are covered with Sunbrella a hard wearing fabric designed to shrug off a light shower, be UV stable and stain proof, for example against suntan lotion and red wine. If strong winds are forecast we do recommend that you secure the lighter aluminium and lightweight steel furniture. All our suppliers manufacture to the highest standards and use only the best materials available so you can buy with confidence, secure in the knowledge that your garden furniture will last for years. None of our garden furniture needs to be covered over the winter unless it is affected by falling leaves and bird droppings, don’t cover with plastic as condensation will build up and lead to moulds growing, always use a breathable dedicated Garden Furniture Covers. Our range of rattan garden furniture is one of the biggest in the UK so if you want comfort and quality then look no further than these sets.

Buyers guide to waterproof garden furniture

The waterproof garden furniture sold by Hayes is manufactured to the highest standards using only the very best quality materials and as such can withstand anything the British weather can throw at us. Obviously caution must be taken if high winds or storms are forecast such as securing the furniture and taking down the parasol. Cushions are made to shake off a little light rain but they will become sodden in a downpour so are best taken indoors, they will drain quickly but won’t be usable until fully dry.
