The Garden Furniture Department. 

our once upon a time story of garden furniture departments 25 year history, leading the maket with inovative designs and concepts

Our Personal Background and input into the garden leisure Industry, we're now calling this.
                                                       Your Outdoor Lifestyle.

At the Garden Furniture Department, we prioritise exceptional customer service, committed to delivering the finest products, competitive, and superior quality.

We aim to simplify your purchasing experience, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind as you explore our thoughtfully selection of outdoor furniture. Elevate your garden into a sophisticated extension of your home with our premium offerings and outstanding service, all supported by a comprehensive guarantee.

Founded in 2015, we entered the market just as rattan furniture was beginning to fade, especially in sunlight! At a time the market was saturated with various rattan concepts, many gardens began to resemble showrooms.

The problem was that all the cushions had to be brought in and out every time a cloud appeared in the sky, not to mention the massive task of storing them during winter months—bagging cushions and filling sheds, garages, or lofts.

So, we listened carefully to you, our loyal customers, who to purchase more and more rattan year after year. You shared your frustrations about mould on cushions the long drying time if they were left out in a downpour, and how your black cushions faded to a light shade of purple or your cream cushions nearly turned white.

You mentioned how your weather covers during winter made your garden look like a tarpaulin sale, often blowing around in the wind, with some disappearing never to be seen again.

We took a huge risk against an extremely popular product that had been in vogue for over 20. With all your genuine complaints, we began to tick the new concept boxes.

We established that the aluminium frame was thin and weak, so we redesigned the entire concept and strengthened the framework.

We found a new fabric for the cushions that is strong, durable, and, more importantly, stain-resistant, mould-resistant, fade-resistant, flame-resistant, and water-repellent., there was still a problem: the foam inside was like a sponge, and while the new fabrics kept out moisture, they would eventually seep through after continuous soaking. We have now developed a new foam that allows water to pass straight through it, making it impossible to retain water.

With an added secret trade ingredient, it now has quick-drying moisture qualities.

Now we have ticked all your boxes and more. With heavier frames, remarkable new fabrics, and quick-dry foam fillings, you can now leave your furniture out all year round.

Simply jet wash it clean if it gets dirty before each season, and it will look as good as new each time. Spills and stains wipe off with ease, maintaining a stable colour even when left in direct sunlight all year round.

Now, your outdoor furniture boasts better quality than most indoor furniture, making it look and feel like an indoor suite.

We have created the perfect outdoor product that has an extended lifespan, looks beautiful in all seasons, and, most importantly, is extremely comfortable.

 

To further enhance your outdoor lifestyle possibilities, we introduced a brand new concept of garden cover in 2019. GFD was the first company to bring you a manually operated shuttered roof pergola.

After years of research and being the only company offering an installation service for gazebos, we finally brought you a desirable garden cover with new side screens and vented walls.

Our first concept in 2019, the Maranza Deluxe Pergola, has been so successful that within two years of its official launch, the UK market became filled with many similar pergolas.

Moreover, it has become a major addition when purchasing the new all-weather range of furniture—often deemed a must-have item!

With our lead now firmly established in garden cover, we have taken another indoor concept, the kitchen, with sink and all, and introduced a range of modular outdoor kitchen cabinets with outdoor fridges and all your indoor-outdoor cooking surfaces and accessories.

You can now entertain your family and friends in ways we never believed possible. Add some cool lighting, soft furnishings, vases, and lanterns to your space, and you've created your perfect outdoor lifestyle sanctuary. With a little help from us, of course!

Now, just back, relax, and enjoy it for many years. It doesn't get better than this!

Well, we must confess, we did say that about rattan 25 years ago.

​

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
