We are looking forward to the arrival of our new supply of Cast Aluminium garden furniture. This year we are featuring 3 new designs of patio set. The Sandringham; a rectangular table to seat 6 or 8 people, The Balmoral, a round table with raised Lazy Susan for 6 people and the Chatsworth; A small oval table for 4 people. We are offering 3 colour choices on our furniture this year, Black, Bronze and, new for 2012, a stone finish. All of our Cast Aluminium patio sets offer a choice of chair design. Our chair cushions have been tailor made to fit the design of the chair and we offer a choice of 3 colours; Black, Beige and Lime Green.
All too often you see people with very nice expensive patio furniture but the parasols are the wrong size or shape, they don’t match the furniture and worst of all, they are simply not strong enough to withstand even moderate winds. Our parasols are strong, sturdy and of similar high quality to the furniture. The parasol colours match the cushion colours for overall effect.
We have a choice of 3 designs of Cast Aluminium bench. Each design will match the chair design that you choose as part of your patio set. To complete your outdoor furniture needs we also supply cast aluminium loungers and coffee tables.
Our Cast Aluminium Furniture really is maintenance free. You can leave it out all year round. It won’t rust, fade or peel. Clean it with warm soapy water after the winter and you are ready for another season’s use.
The latest range of Cast Aluminium furniture will be available at the end of March 2012.
We have just unloaded another container of cast aluminium garden furniture. So to our many customers who have been prepared to wait for their orders to arrive, I would like to say a big thank you for your patience and we will now get to work getting every order delivered in the next few days.
Stock levels of cast aluminium garden furniture are good so for immediate delivery and to ensure you get exactely what you want, now is a perfect time to order. Furthermore, the sun is finally set to arrive with temperatures soaring next week.
Order online and make use of our fantastic offers or call us to discuss your order. We are always pleased to chat to you on the phone. After all we are a real company with real people who are keen to help.
Its been quite a week. We had two shows scheduled to run over the weekend. We arrived at Malvern with our Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture to build our Stand ready for the Spring Garden Show.
From there we went back to base, reloaded and headed up to Chatsworth to set up for the Horse Trials which were also taking place over the same weekend.
The Spring Garden Show at Malvern started on Thursday in the pouring rain, not the greatest start for selling Cast Aluninium Garden Furniture, then a call came in to say that the Horsetrials at Chatsworth had been cancelled due to the waterlogged ground conditions. Could things get any worse??
We quickly put a contingency plan in place and sent a staff member from Cheshire to Malvern to run the Stand whilst those already at Malvern with our vehicles, headed back up to Chatsworth to recover the Cast Aluminium Garden furniture that was set up and ready for the show to begin.
So after a 250 mile round trip from Malvern to Chatsworth and back via Cheshire, we returned to Malvern to enjoy 3 days of summer weather, great crowds and lots of sales.
The customers loved our high quality Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture and, despite the high level of competition and cheaper alternatives, most customers opted for quality at a fair price rather than cheap and cheerful, and I am pleased to say that our Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture sold very well.
Cast Aluminium is not a cheap option but it will last you for many years, so, in terms of value for money you can't beat it. The old addage is certainly true; You get what you pay for!
We have just about dried out after a weekend of torrential rain at the Harrogate Flower Show. In fact it was so bad that the show was closed early on the Sunday.
The wet weather was a great way of demonstrating how our cast aluminium garden furniture really is suitable for all conditions and all seasons. Whilst the companies selling wood and rattan furniture were getting little interest, our furniture still looked attractive and clearly able to withstand the conditions. Testament to that was the number of orders that we took in the pouring rain.
As I said to our customers at the time "If you like the look of it in the pouring rain, think how good it will be in the sunshine"
So now we have a busy week delivering our orders before moving on to the Milton Keynes garden festival at the weekend. Lets hope for some drier and warmer weather to show off our cast aluminium garden furniture at its best.
We are looking forward once again to exhibiting at this year's Harrogate Flower Show which starts next Thursday, April 26th and continues until Sunday April 29th.
We shall be showing our full range of Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture, including the new designs and colours.
We have the same position as always so customers old and new who have been to previous flower shows can easily find us.
As usual we shall have some attractive show offers to tempt you. We are able to offer our furniture cheaper at shows than normal because we can group the deliveries. With the price of fuel these days, delivery costs are a major factor so by delivering a van full of orders to the same area at the same time, the delivery is far more economical.
To benefit from show offers, orders must be placed at the show and delivery has to be when we are in your area delivering orders to other customers.
We hope that you will come to see us on Stand OS95. Harrogate Flower show is a really good day out with everything "under one roof" for the keen gardener. See you there!
This weekend marks the start of our show calendar. All of our Cast Aluminium Range will be on display at the BASC Gamefair.Hopefully the weather will be kind and all visitors can browse our new fantastic maintenance free aluminium furniture. We have new designs including a four seater oval cast aluminium patio set and a rectangular six seater cast aluminium patio set. To complement the aluminium furniture we also supply maintenance free Benches and Sunloungers, all in the same design as the patio sets. Why not add a coffee table to sit alongside your bench or sunlounger ?
Our new Tailor-Made luxury cushions in stunning new colours add the finishing touch. The Parasols come in matching colours and complete your set.
Have a browse at our ' Special Offers ' page and make the most of our monthly promotions. Now is the time to buy your new Cast Aluminium garden furniture and make the most of the summer ahead.
Easter weekend is the busiest weekend of the year for gardeners to get outside and prepare their gardens for summer.
It is also the time to start thinking about your garden furniture needs for this year. Do you have an old weathered wooden set that will require hours of sanding down and re-staining? Well life is too short for that so maybe its time to think about a maintenance free option that will last you far longer than your wooden set and free up all that time you would normally spend on maintenance.
Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture is your answer. It will stay outside all year round and last you many years. A 5 minute clean down with warm soapy water or even a jet wash and it is ready for use.
We replaced our teak set for Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture. We have a round table to seat 6 people and it is the best thing we ever did. It stays outside on the patio all year round. The chair stack together in a corner out of the way. It took me no more than 10 minutes this morning to clean it up ready for the first Easter barbecue. All we need now is the sunshine!!
So forget about sanding, staining and repairing your wooden set. Why not make use of one of our Easter offers and treat yourself to a life of maintenance free Garden Furniture
We have taken delivery of our new stock for the 2012 season.

Cast Aluminium vs other types of Garden Furniture
Cast Aluminium is the only truly maintenance free material use in the manufacture of outdoor furniture. Aluminium is a non rusting metal which can be powder coated in any colour .The coating will not fade or peel. You can leave your furniture outside all year and it will still look like new many years later. It will even withstand a hard frost. You may wash it down with warm soapy water to clean it and it will even withstand a pressure wash. If your cast aluminium furniture is to be assembled, it is important to use stainless steel fixings to avoid any rusting or deterioration of the fixings. There is no need to cover Cast Aluminium furniture when not in use
Cast Iron can look very ornate and it certainly would not blow away in the wind. However, it will rust after a few months left outside and it is very heavy to move around. It requires a lot of maintenance and should be repainted regularly
Wicker A popular choice of material is all weather wicker, also known as rattan. This is also a very durable material which should last a long time. However, over time the colour will fade in the sunlight and the furniture could distort with temperature change and frost. It is not advisable to leave this out all year round. Another downside to this type of furniture is the small grooves in the weave which can trap crumbs and bits of food. There are two types of all weather wicker and the prices and quality vary enormously. The stronger, more expensive, designs are made using cylindrical weave whereas the cheaper, more flexible designs utilise a flat weave. Covering the furniture is advisable as it is very difficult to clean once the dirt gets in between the grooves.
Teak used to be the favourite choice when purchasing garden furniture but in recent years, people’s buying habits have changed. Teak looks lovely when it is new and, being a durable hardwood, it will last a long time. However, after a couple of months the colour will change to a silvery grey and splits and cracks may appear in the wood. Some people choose to sand down and stain the teak to try and keep the original colour. Once done, this process needs to be repeated on a regular basis. It is advisable to cover Teak furniture when not in use but it is important to ensure that the wood is completely dry before doing so as trapping damp in the furniture could do more harm than good.
Hardwood is the cheapest material used in outdoor furniture. It is a good choice for those on a budget who are happy to change their furniture every couple of years. It requires regular sanding down and staining if it is not covered or put away during winter. It is also prone to splitting and warping due to exposure to sunlight and temperature change.
A picture paints a thousand words. We believe that we can't have enough images of our Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture. For this reason, we are working hard behind the scenes (well in the photographic studio actually) to produce a slideshow of images for each of the products that we feature.
We will show you close up shots of the detail, overhead shots to demonstrate accurately the size and shape of the Cast Aluminium Patio Sets and also general settings to give you an idea of what your Maintenance Free Garden Furniture will look like in your garden.
We hope to have these slideshows live on the site by the end of this week. In the meantime, if you would like to see extra pictures of a particular product, please e-mail us and we will be pleased to send these to you
Our customers asked us for a Rectangular Cast Aluminium Table, and here is the New Sandringham. Available in three colours: Black,Bronze and Stone and comes with Six Stackable Armchairs. This furniture is our design and unique to ourselves and comes with a beautiful Leaf Design incorporated into the table and chairs.
The sun is shining, the daffodils are up and the phones are ringing.
Its amazing how a couple of days of sunshine is all it takes to get people in the mood for summer. Our phones have been a lot busier over the last couple of days with people thinking about the warm weather and looking forward to enjoying the garden.
It is really nice to hear from some of our existing customers who, clearly satisfied with their purchases, have been calling us to add to their collections of Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture. We supplied them with a Patio Set last year and now we are supplying them with Benches and Sunloungers or just extra matching chairs to cater for larger numbers.
Now is the time to order your Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture to ensure that we can supply you with what you want rather than having to settle for what we have available.
Our stock levels are very good at the moment but it is amazing how quickly some items sell out. The last thing you want is to have to wait 6 or 8 weeks for new stock to arrive so, think summer, think garden, think Cast Aluminium Maintenance Free Garden Furniture.
The garden show season is nearly upon us and we are looking forward to displaying our new range of Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture across the length and breadth of the country. Our stand will look fantastic with its extensive range of designs and colours.
First stop is our local farm shop, the Hollies, where we will roll out the new range at the end of March. There is a fantastic café at the Hollies as well as home grown fruit and vegetables in abundance. Why not come and see us for a day out. The Hollies is on the A49 between Cuddington and Tarporley.
Next up is the BASC Gamekeepers fair at Catton Park Near To Burton On Trent. This takes place on April 14th -15th. This is a great festival of all things country and of course, our Cast Aluminium Furniture fits in very well amongst the other exhibits.
