The word is made up of the words polyethylene and the word rattan. In the past, some garden furniture was woven from the natural material rattan, but since the 1990s there has been a trend towards making garden furniture and patio furniture from polyrattan. Plastic cords are woven onto an aluminium frame. This makes the furniture very light and the plastic material in combination with the aluminium is more weather-resistant than the natural product.
The largest group of rattan furniture for the garden is lounge furniture. With this material, you can put together an attractive lounge group at a reasonable price. The advantage of this furniture is the modular plug-in system, with the help of which you can put together many shapes to suit the desired location. In addition to this individual system, it is also possible to purchase inexpensive rattan lounge sets. These often consist of a rattan sofa, rattan armchair and a rattan table.
In addition to the lounge for the garden, you can also purchase complete rattan seating groups. These have the seat height of a standard dining chair and dining table. There are a variety of chair shapes, depending on space requirements or taste. The comfortable polyrattan armchairs are often combined with teak tables to create a cosy and rustic overall look.
Yes, in addition to the large lounge furniture and armchairs, there are now also very attractive and practical solutions for rattan furniture for balconies. There are stackable rattan chairs that can be paired with a bistro table on any balcony, no matter how small, or small balcony sets made of polyrattan. With these sets, small armchairs and a small table can often be pushed into each other so that the balcony can also be used for other purposes.
There are different basic materials for polyrattan garden furniture. On the one hand, there is a flat weave and a round weave that comes very close to the natural rattan fibre. In terms of feel, the latest wickerwork materials also emphasise the most natural look and feel possible. The surface of the fibre is no longer smooth, as we are used to with plastic products, but rough, which gives it a more natural feel.
