Steady demand for cheap domestic, Belarus, Uzbekistan and the Polish garden furniture. Most often it is the traditional model: tables, chairs, folding beds, sofas, rocking chairs.

And finally, garden furniture should be sturdy, not to be afraid of change of climate. Options on the market a lot, but the interests of the plastic and wicker furniture, so we pay them more attention.

Plastic furniture

The popularity of plastic furniture is easily explained: it is inexpensive and practical. In addition, plastic garden furniture is light, strong and not afraid of rain. The technology of its manufacture (injection molding, the use of forged items) enabled successfully to replace traditional wooden chairs for elegant comfortable chair.

Permanent demand dinner and dessert tables, chairs. Best-seller last season was 2-3-seater plastic benches. In the last two or three years become popular plastic folding chairs, couches in the transformable. They are very comfortable to sunbathe - lying down or reclining. Price varies and depends on the comfort, the presence of wheels for easy movement and, of course, from fame to the Russian market, the manufacturer.

But plastic has its drawbacks. For example, bleaching and destruction (decomposition) in direct sunlight. This observation holds for the cheapest grades of plastic, but some expensive varieties of plastic resistant to UV radiation and do not burn. In addition, plastic - brittle material.

Wicker furniture

It is light, extraordinary elegance, delicacy, and, most importantly, naturalness: in Russia, wicker furniture has always been associated with warmth and coziness of a country house. Today you can find a lot of variety of models wicker furniture, combining ancient identity and modern design.

In most cases, this furniture will last without repairs, only one season. A more preferable option when entwine oshkurennym frame and thicker rod - with a slight increase in the price you get a more durable product. In addition, these models tend to be more attractive in appearance (unfortunately, there are exceptions). And finally, closest to the traditional Russian school option - a frame made of a thick rod (2-4 cm in diameter), with delicate designs of the more delicate twig (1-2 cm), and the weaving of a thin rod is used only as a decorative element out there where the load on the lowest. Naturally, the rod should be oshkurennym. Among these products meet and have great artistic value. It is also important that the rod was coated with varnish (usually use a furniture polish), as a rod with less polluted and becomes water-repellent properties (this extends the life of the product several times). Lacquered products are easy to clean, have a more attractive appearance.
