I have just finished the preperations and I have seen this Patio Set :)

I have just spent alot of time over the last weeks preparing my garden for the summer and laid a new patio area.
I have been searching for a country metal patio set and I have just found and bought the perfect one! What do you think?

 

That's nice! I have 2 sets and find I don't use them to sit on as they aren't very comfortable. They look nice with plants on though!

 

Same here got a little bistro set last year - looks lovely but the seats are a tad uncumfy

 

Same here,i bought a bolster pillow and some fabric remnants and made some cushions....nice and comfy now...not bad for a first attempt

 

You can't go wrong with directors chairs!

 

I don't have a dining table in the garden and I don't usually eat outside anyway but I do have one of these on a small patio.

If I want to read or entertain in the garden it's wonderfully comfortable. It can be collapsed flat and stored in the greenhouse in the winter but the frame is robust enough to live outside for the summer months. It will gradually deteriorate but as it only cost me £50 secondhand I think I will get my money's worth. Bringing the cushions in and out constantly is a bit of a pain but can just be left with a plastic cover during settled weather. I used to have rattan furniture outside but it doesn't fold flat and won't survive many British winters.

 

Make them. I made mine out of a bit of canvas. Theres loads of video and guides on the internet on how to make them, its dead easy

 

This is what you need - lovely !

 

How do you get to Lilliput?
