Outdoor Furniture for Melbourne and Victoria
With so many types of garden furniture being made in Australia as well as imported, it is fairly easy to find something that will suit your needs. From simple garden benches, to settings that include tables and chairs as well as lounges, recliners and of course market umbrellas, the choice is outstanding
You do need to consider materials and your own habits when choosing garden furniture. Weight is always a factor, however it is design, comfort and price that seem to rule.
Materials include traditional timber, including teak, jarrah, cedar and red gum. Metals, especially lightweight aluminium and wrought iron are poplar, cast iron is sought after but sometimes difficult to find ( and a little heavy for every day use).
Modern materials include PVC, Glass table tops and GRC. Wicker and stone are also popular
Best Garden Furniture for Melbourne
Every type of garden furniture has its advantages and disadvantages. The main factors in selection are design, comfort, durability and price.
The choice of design and style is individual, durability will depend on placement, beneath a roofed patio or gazebo durability is not as important as when garden furniture is placed on an exposed deck or in the garden itself.
Comfort is more of an issue for outdoor areas that receive a lot of use, for a decorative chair in the corner of the garden this is not so essential.
Price is an ever present factor, cheap garden furniture can be found, however it need to meet the other criteria before it really is a bargain.
And of course we have maintenance, timber requires maintenance to maintain its look. However even PVC will require cleaning.
So what is the best garden furniture for Melbourne ?
For long lasting easy care, we would go for teak, as long as you oil it twice a year, or if like us, you do not mind the silver look.
