Frequently Asked Questions
Can I leave the cushions on my garden sofa outside when it rains?
Do not assume the cushions can stay outside in wet weather unless the individual product guidance specifically says they can. Outdoor cushions often need more protection than the sofa frame, so check the care instructions and think about where you will store them during heavy rain or longer periods when the furniture is not being used.
Is it worth buying a rain cover with a garden sofa?
A cover can make day to day care easier by giving the furniture extra protection when it is not in use, particularly during unsettled weather. Some garden sofa sets in this collection are offered with or without a rain cover, so check exactly what is included with your chosen option before ordering.
Will a nine seater garden sofa actually fit comfortably on my patio?
Check the complete footprint of the sofa, table, stools and benches rather than judging the set by seating capacity alone. You also need enough room to pull out seats and walk around the furniture comfortably, so marking the full layout on your patio before ordering can prevent a large set from making the area difficult to use.
Should I choose a garden sofa with a dining table or a lower coffee table?
Choose a dining height arrangement if you expect to eat outside regularly, while a lower table generally suits drinks and relaxed lounging better. This collection includes garden sofa sets with dining tables, rising tables and coffee table arrangements, so think about how you will use the space most often rather than simply choosing the largest set available.
