Dokonalý záhradný altánok alebo nová pergola si určite zaslúžia ten správny záhradný nábytok. Váhate pri jeho výbere? Priblížime vám, aké máte možnosti a aké sú výhody a nevýhody jednotlivých typov záhradného nábytku.
Pred výberom záhradného nábytku
V prvom rade si musíte ujasniť, čo od nábytku očakávate. Ide len o funkčnosť? Alebo skôr o dizajn? Máte záujem o ten najlacnejší záhradný nábytok, ktorý po čase budete musieť vymeniť? Alebo si vyberáte nábytok do altánku alebo pod pergolu na dlhé roky?
Dôležité je tiež ujasniť si, či budete nábytok na zimu a počas nepriaznivého počasia odkladať alebo ho budete nechávať na mieste. Keď si odpoviete na tieto otázky, výber záhradného nábytku bude pre vás jednoduchší. Tak aké sú možnosti?
Selection of garden furniture according to material
In the past, almost all of us had cheap plastic furniture on our terraces and gazebos. However, time has progressed and so have the demands on design and functionality. What can you choose from?
- Wooden furniture. An absolute favorite for many. This natural material fits perfectly into the garden and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Its advantage is resistance (oak, beech, northern pine and exotic woods ) and thus a long life. Of course, regular maintenance is necessary. The disadvantage is the higher price. This furniture is suitable for a gazebo.
- Rattan furniture. Here you can choose either artificial rattan furniture or natural rattan. Although rattan furniture is very nice, its lifespan is not very high. The problem is the quality of the knitting, but also the construction. We would rather recommend such furniture for a closed conservatory.
- Metal furniture. Again, there are two options, aluminum or steel garden furniture. In both cases, you should get furniture with a long life. However, pay attention to the quality of a specific manufacturer. Aluminum furniture should have walls with a thickness of at least 1 cm or more, so that it is stable in shape and can handle higher weight. A great place for aluminum furniture is an aluminum pergola . They will match perfectly! Steel furniture is practically indestructible. But a minor disadvantage is thermal conductivity. So it can be too hot in the summer. However, this will be solved by a fabric seat cushion.
- Plastic furniture. A good old classic that you can get for a few pennies. The disadvantage is that it cannot handle a higher weight, and after a while it “wears” so to speak and cannot be cleaned, due to the porosity of the material. However, its routine maintenance is very simple. A little water and detergent will suffice.
- Concrete furniture. This is furniture where the structure (legs) is made of concrete and the seat or table top is wooden. Such furniture could be suitable for a brick gazebo.
There are really many options. However, if you are interested in high-quality and at the same time beautiful garden furniture, we recommend wood or aluminum.
