If you're starting from scratch and looking for a new set of garden furniture, how do you choose what to go for? You may have experience of the garden furniture set your parents had or some friends who have a garden table and chairs that seemed comfortable. But do you choose wooden garden furniture, metal garden furniture or something else? There is so much choice - where do you start?

Initially, you will have an idea of how much you want to spend. This will dictate, to a certain extent, the quality and style of the garden furniture you wish to buy. If you are on a limited budget, then probably the PVC route is the one to take. Functional and light, PVC garden furniture will last a few years but be prepared for brittleness after time in the sun.

If you shy away from the PVC furniture, you should then decide how many people you wish to sit at your garden table. Probably 4 – 6 garden chairs would be the most common combination and this would comprise either a round or rectangular garden table. There is also the option of having a 4 seater garden table and a separate garden bench. This gives two distinct pieces of garden furniture, but allows for extra seating at the table, if required. Then, what construction material should you choose?

Cast aluminium garden furniture has the big advantage of being virtually maintenance free and will never go rusty. For those of you with less time on your hands, the thought of doing nothing to your garden furniture, apart from the occasional "hose down" probably sounds quite appealing.

However, patio furniture made from wood has that natural look and feel which only wood can give. Wooden garden furniture does not necessarily require any maintenance but treatment with oil a couple of times a year is recommended. There is a complete price range with wooden furniture, from the very cheap hardwood garden furniture, which could only last a couple of years, to the more expensive Teak garden furniture or Oak sets. You get what you pay for! If you want something to last a few years, then you have to pay for it and it can be false economy to buy cheap.

So, when deciding what you would like to have in your garden, have a look around, decide your budget, select the material and go for quality!
