Metal Garden Furniture
Good Solid Garden Furniture
A garden seat needs to feel right - like an old trowel that fits your hand perfectly. We make ours in our Somerset workshop from proper steel that doesn't mind what the weather throws at it. You can tell they're made well by how they welcome you after hours of weeding, or the way your tea mug sits steady on the table, even when the paving's a bit wonky.
None of those wobbly metal tubes here. Our stuff needs two people to lift it, mind you, but once it's in place, it'll be part of your garden for years. The chairs lean back just enough - rather nice on summer evenings when the borders are doing what they should and you've time to sit back with a glass of wine.

Solid Garden Furniture Made Properly
Good garden seats need to feel right - like old boots that fit perfectly. Our metal pieces come straight from our workshop, where we make them from proper steel that sits steady through gusty autumn days and summer storms. They look rather nice tucked near Metal Gazebos or catching morning light by the herb bed.
We use solid steel, not those thin tubes you often see. Yes, the chairs need a bit of muscle to move, but they'll be part of your garden for years. The seats lean back just enough - comfortable for long evenings watching the bees or quick breaks between jobs.
Garden Furniture That Ages Well
Most gardens have their odd bumps and slopes. Our tables understand this, with feet that adjust for wonky paving. The steel takes on a lovely soft look as seasons pass - much like our Iron Rose Arches. The paint stays put, and every joint holds firm through winter's worst moods.
If your plot's on the cosy side, our bistro sets might suit - they tuck in nicely beside Ornamental Metal Gates or under climbing roses. The chairs stack away if needed, though they're quite happy staying out in any weather.
Simple Care Through the Seasons
Metal furniture asks little of you really. A wash with soapy water now and then, perhaps a drop of oil on moving parts come spring. Gardens near the sea need a bit more attention - salt air can be rather keen on metal.
The benches deserve a proper mention. Made from the same solid steel as our table sets, they make natural pausing spots when you're doing your evening rounds. Pop one under a fruit tree or against a warm wall - just right for five minutes' rest between garden jobs.
Common Questions About Our Garden Furniture
Q: How long will the furniture last outdoors?
With basic care - a yearly wash and occasional touch-up of any scratches - these pieces stay strong for decades. Many of our original sets from twenty years ago still grace gardens today.
Q: What about rust and weathering?
The steel develops a subtle patina over time but won't rust through. We use proper galvanized metal and weatherproof paint that keeps the elements at bay.
Q: Will I need help setting it up?
Most pieces need two pairs of hands and basic tools. Everything comes with clear notes, and we're always here if you need advice about placement or assembly.
