Why Choose Rattan Patio Furniture

Rattan patio furniture works well in UK gardens because it's built for regular use and changing weather. Here's why many customers choose it:

  • Made for outdoor conditions — PE rattan (synthetic wicker) is designed to handle rain, temperature changes, and general wear. It can be left outside all year round.
  • Low maintenance — easy to clean and doesn't require ongoing treatment like wood or metal alternatives.
  • Comfortable for everyday use — cushioned seating makes it suitable for relaxing, not just occasional use.
  • Flexible layouts — choose from sofa sets, corner units, or dining sets depending on your space.
  • Works in both small and large spaces — from compact patios to larger gardens, there are options that won't overwhelm your layout.

Types of Rattan and Wicker Furniture

Not all rattan furniture is the same. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right option for your garden.

PE Rattan (Synthetic Wicker)

This is what most modern rattan patio furniture is made from.

  • Designed for outdoor use
  • Weather-resistant and durable
  • Can stay outside all year round
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Strong value for money

This makes it a reliable choice for UK weather, where conditions can change quickly. Using a cover can help keep it looking its best, but it's built to handle outdoor use.

Natural Rattan

Natural rattan has a different look and feel.

  • Made from natural fibres
  • Typically used in covered or indoor areas
  • More sensitive to moisture and weather
  • Often higher in price

It's usually chosen for sheltered spaces rather than fully exposed patios.

Wicker

Wicker is a weaving style, not a material.

  • Can be made from rattan, willow, or synthetic materials
  • The term is often used interchangeably with rattan in modern furniture
  • PE wicker offers the same durability as PE rattan

In this collection, all our rattan and wicker furniture is made from PE (polyethylene) — a synthetic material that's designed for outdoor use and UK weather.

How To Choose The Right Rattan Patio Furniture

Choosing the right set comes down to how it fits your space and how you plan to use it.

1. Measure your space
Always check your available area first. Leave at least 60–90cm of clearance around the furniture for comfortable movement.

2. Choose the right layout

  • Sofa sets → best for relaxed lounge seating
  • Corner sets → maximise seating in one area of the garden
  • Dining sets → better for outdoor meals and entertaining
  • Bistro sets → ideal for balconies and compact patios

3. Think about how many people you need to seat
Make sure the set works for your household without overcrowding the space. A two-seater suits most patios; a corner sofa can seat six to ten.

4. Plan for cushions and storage
Cushions are best stored when not in use. Pair your set with garden furniture covers to protect your investment between seasons.

5. Consider your wider setup
Rattan furniture often works best as part of a complete outdoor space. Browse our full range of rattan garden tables and egg chairs to complete the look.

FAQ: Rattan Patio Furniture

Can rattan furniture be used in a conservatory or covered patio?

Yes — PE rattan works equally well indoors and outdoors, making it a popular choice for conservatories, garden rooms, and covered patios. The material won't off-gas or deteriorate in warmer indoor environments, and the neutral tones of most rattan sets complement both indoor and outdoor settings. If you're furnishing a conservatory, look for sets with slimmer profiles that won't overwhelm the space.

Do I need planning permission for rattan garden furniture?

No — garden furniture does not require planning permission in the UK. Rattan patio sets are freestanding and moveable, so they fall outside the scope of permitted development rules entirely. If you're also considering a garden structure such as a pergola or gazebo to shelter your furniture, permitted development rules may apply depending on size and proximity to boundaries, but the furniture itself is unrestricted.

How do I clean rattan garden furniture?

PE rattan is one of the easiest outdoor furniture materials to clean. For routine maintenance, wipe down the weave with a damp cloth and mild soapy water, then rinse with a garden hose and leave to air dry. For dirt trapped in the weave, a soft brush works well. Avoid pressure washers at close range as these can damage the weave over time. Cushion covers can usually be removed and machine washed — check the care label on your specific set.

Can rattan patio furniture stay outside all year?

Yes, PE rattan furniture is designed to be left outside all year round. The synthetic weave is UV-stabilised and water-resistant, so it won't crack, fade, or absorb moisture the way natural rattan would. Using a fitted cover during winter or extended periods of heavy rain will help maintain the cushions and keep the set looking its best for longer.

Is rattan furniture suitable for UK weather?

Yes — synthetic PE rattan is specifically engineered to handle the full range of UK weather conditions, including rain, frost, strong winds, and summer UV exposure. The frames are typically powder-coated aluminium, which resists rust and corrosion. Unlike natural rattan or wood, PE rattan won't warp, swell, or splinter when exposed to moisture, making it one of the most practical choices for British gardens.

What size rattan furniture set should I choose?

Start by measuring your outdoor space and leaving at least 60–90cm of clearance around the furniture for comfortable movement. A two-seater bistro set suits most patios up to 3m x 3m, while a corner sofa set works well in spaces from 4m x 3m upwards. If you're primarily using the space for dining, a four-seater dining set fits most standard patios, with six- and eight-seater options suited to larger terraces or decking areas. For compact spaces that need to work harder, a cube dining set converts from coffee table to dining height and is one of our most versatile options.

Find Your Perfect Rattan Set

From compact bistro sets for city balconies to large corner sofas for family gardens — there's a rattan set here built for your space and your budget.

Every set in this collection is made from weather-resistant PE rattan with powder-coated aluminium frames, designed to stay outside year-round in British conditions.
