Garden furniture businesses supply outdoor seating, tables and other furnishings designed for use in gardens, patios, balconies and conservatories. Their ranges commonly include dining sets, benches, bistro sets, loungers, sunbeds, outdoor sofas and chairs, as well as parasols, cushions and covers. Items may be sold individually or as coordinated sets, in materials such as timber, metal, rattan-style resin and plastic. Customers may also find storage boxes, garden furniture covers, replacement cushions and accessories. Some businesses offer advice on choosing suitable materials and sizes, along with delivery, assembly or maintenance services. Products vary in how they cope with rain, sunlight and changing temperatures; care instructions can cover cleaning, protective treatments and seasonal storage. Businesses in this category may operate as specialist shops, general retailers, online sellers or manufacturers.
