FAQs

How to furnish a larger outdoor space?

For larger outdoor spaces, we suggest either a rattan dining or sofa set. Start by measuring up your space, leaving room for access around, and consider where you want the focus of your garden or patio to be. A centrepiece like a firepit table can act not only as a talking, but a focal point.

Why is a rattan garden sofa the best choice for your garden?

Synthetic rattan is light so it's highly portable. It's also weather-resistant and built over a rust and corrosion-resistant frame of powder-coated aluminium. Synthetic rattan furniture represents a budget-friendly price point compared to natural rattan with much less maintenance hassle. A rattan garden sofa can be the perfect place to relax, read, or chat, and removable cushions make for easy upkeep.

How does rattan compare to wooden or metal garden furniture?

Compared to wooden garden furniture, grey rattan is certainly more contemporary. In this sense, rattan is more similar to metal garden furniture and both represent ease-of-use at an attractive price point. They are, however, not as customisable as wooden garden furniture which can be stained or painted.

What should I look for when buying outdoor furniture?

Look for something made from a durable and weather-resistant material (like synthetic rattan) at a price point that suits you. For the best quality spend as much as you can (and think is reasonable) at the outset rather than having to replace your furniture sets every couple of years.

How should rattan furniture be maintained?

Our rattan furniture is built to withstand both intense sunlight and harsh British weather. Still, all garden furniture requires some care and attention. If storage isn't an option, at least invest in garden furniture covers and remove cushions when not in use.

Is rattan furniture waterproof?

Rattan furniture is highly weatherproof and the frames are resistant to rust and corrosion. For peace of mind, though, we still recommend storing garden furniture indoors or at least under cover when not in use.

Plastic Rattan Furniture

Rattan is a vine-like plant grown in tropical climates that has traditionally been used to make furniture. However, most rattan furniture on the market today is made from synthetic rattan (also known as polyrattan). This is for a number of reasons:

Plastic rattan is, surprisingly, more sustainable, as rattan plants were severely depleted by the industry and do not grow back easily. Synthetic rattan also typically lasts longer than natural rattan, and is less likely to be damaged by the weather. BillyOh’s rattan furniture is also UV resistant to prevent colour fading, leaving you with a furniture set that continues to look great long into the future.

Synthetic rattan is also different from rattan-effect furniture. Rattan effect is where a weave-style texture is applied to a solid plastic surface, rather than using real stitching.

Why is Rattan Furniture so Popular?

Aesthetically, rattan looks great in most styles of garden, whether it’s outside a rustic stone building or a slick and modern house. This timeless appearance, combined with its durability and comfort, has led to rattan becoming the go-to option for millions of gardens.

Part of the appeal of rattan is the way that the material attaches around the metal frame of the furniture beneath, giving it a similar appearance to indoor upholstery such as armchairs and sofas. It presents a gentle, comforting impression while also being hardy enough to survive the outdoors.

How To Clean Rattan Furniture

One of the best things about polyethene (PE) rattan is that it's incredibly easy to maintain. Keep your grey rattan look as good as new by simply:

Dusting any glass tables and in between the weave
Spraying down with a cleaner or diluted soapy water
Wiping dry

You could even use a garden hose or a pressure washer on a very light setting - that's just how easy and resilient PE rattan is. For more information, check out this guide on cleaning rattan furniture.

What can I Expect when I Order Rattan Furniture?

Our rattan furniture sets arrive in boxes - usually multiple boxes, depending on the size of the set. There will be some assembly required using basic tools such as a screwdriver or Allen key. Full instructions are provided.

Deliveries for garden furniture typically take 5-10 working days. Delivery should be free except for the heaviest items, so if you see a delivery charge that shouldn’t be there, call our Customer Service team on 01909 768840.

In the unlikely event of any issues with your item, we would look to exchange and replace the affected box rather than the entire product.

Rain
Snow
Frost
Harsh UV rays
