Can metal garden furniture stay outside all year?

Powder-coated metal furniture is made for outdoor use, but storing it dry and under cover in winter greatly extends its life, especially in snow and freezing conditions.

How do I clean powder-coated outdoor furniture?

Use warm water, a mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and solvents, which can damage the finish.

What size bistro table fits a small balcony?

A round table of about 57–60 cm in diameter seats two comfortably, and folding chairs can be hung or stored flat when not in use.

Outdoor furniture for terraces and balconies

From folding bistro sets to lounge chairs, the right outdoor furniture makes a small balcony or a large terrace a place you want to stay.

Measure first

Allow around 60 cm of table width per person, and at least 70–90 cm behind each chair to sit down and get up comfortably. Folding furniture is ideal for small balconies.

Materials

Powder-coated steel and aluminium, as used by Fermob and Emu, are durable and light to move. Teak and other hardwoods weather to a silver grey unless oiled. Cushions should be brought inside when not in use.

Winter

In the Nordic climate, clean furniture and store it under cover or indoors over winter. Covers help, but allow air to circulate to avoid condensation.
