​Can rattan furniture get wet?

Are you sitting comfortably in your living room and wondering if you should go for a synthetic rattan garden set? If the answer is yes, then read on…

Sometimes, it’s the small, simple things in life that can have such huge results.

Like getting garden furniture you love, that has an au natural look and feel but is actually made from a special synthetic fabric, so isn’t going to rot away. Hooray.

The ideal solution for garden lounging

Natural rattan is not 100% waterproof. So, similar to other wooden or plant-based materials, it’s best to stick with a high-quality synthetic material, such as polyrattan, for outdoor use.

What is Polyrattan

It’s an innovative plastic fibre, designed specifically to imitate the look of rattan, as well as being sustainable and eco-friendly. How so? Many of its components are made of recycled materials. Hence, it really is the fibre of the moment.

One of the major benefits of polyrattan, is that there’s less chance of mould and mildew. With modern developments in materials and design, we are very lucky to have both the ‘look’ and practicality we want, all in one. Man-made fibres that look ‘natural’.

It’s also lightweight, available in lots of colours and has a strong frame fibre. A longer life span for your furniture, and lots of flexibility, makes polyrattan the sensible option for outdoor furniture as opposed to natural rattan.

Here’s a little selection of some fabulous polyrattan garden furniture.

Outdoor lounge sets

Scan over these gorgeous garden lounge sets, and you will see some great options of outdoor furniture, that simply won’t lose its shine. It’ll stay looking glossy and like new for longer, season after season.

Such as this stylish Roma Rattan Modular Garden Lounge Set, specifically designed for modern luxurious living. Relax, as you essentially bring the indoors outdoors, and stay stress-free as you leave your furniture out in the elements. Thanks to a maintenance-free, special premium quality resin polyrattan and soft polyspun cushions, you can enjoy outdoor life to the full.

Also offering the same comfort as your indoor furniture, is the soft grey Stockholm Chaise Lounge Set and Armchair, for optimum outdoor chilling, it has a matching armchair, soft foam cushions and coffee table. Or, from the same range, in a slightly lighter stone shade, the Stockholm Corner Lounge Set, for seating up to six people, complete with a dining table. The great thing is you can remove the cushion covers and wash them if you have any spillages.

The Out and Out rattan Cushion Boxes are a handy garden must-have addition to add to your garden furniture collection, to protect your outdoor sofa cushions during cooler/wetter weather. Also made from polyrattan, with a practical polyester lining and zip fastening, you can happily store away extra cushions and garden accessories.
