Garden Play Equipment
Many of you who are reading this will be looking to find a way to give your child a childhood that is filled with activity and outdoor play. Unfortunately, children aren’t as free to roam around as they were a few years ago. They are often confined to the parameters of their homes and turn to television and technology to pass the time. Being worried about the safety of your child outside of the home should not mean compromising the active lifestyle they can still have right in your very own garden! A large part of a child’s development is based on how they interact in an active and outdoor space. Whether this includes swinging from monkey bars or creating castles in a sandpit, your child will create memories and skills that surpass anything they can learn from a screen. Playing equipment in your garden doesn’t have to be an ostentatious and expensive project, but one that can be approached in a simple manner and reaps amazing benefits. A child that has a safe space to be outdoors creating, imagining and playing is a child that will be healthy in both mind and body. Each item of play equipment that you add to your home is entirely up to you. It doesn’t have to an entire set or an eyesore.

After all the work that gets put into landscaping and planting beautiful shrubbery and flowers, your garden can be thoroughly enjoyed and experienced by your choice of garden furniture! So, how do you decide what furniture can be placed into your garden? You need to consider what the atmosphere of your garden will be. Classy? Rustic? Homely? Your choice of garden furniture will ensure that these styles and themes are achieved! Below are a few furniture options to consider and remember when you come to decide what your garden will include. Traditional Teak Furniture: Tradition Teak Furniture brings to mind images of Old English Country Furniture with their simple and classic look. This furniture is popular in gardens that have soft tones such as white and purple, perhaps amongst plans such as lavender and baby’s breath. However, one must keep in mind that these pieces of furniture do change colour over time as the wood matures. Traditional Teak Furniture is also well known for being especially weather resistant and durable. Swing Seats: Swing Seats are always a choice of garden furniture that will be admired by those who visit your garden. Swing Seats allow you to sit amongst your garden and have a place of relaxation and calm – until the children find out they have a swing in the garden! Swing Seats are convenient as they can be placed in almost any position in your garden, whether they are the focal point or tucked away. Rattan Furniture If you are having concerns about expense, durability and maintenance then All-Weather Rattan Furniture is a choice you should consider. These woven furniture pieces offer a long list of benefits: the woven texture and coloring offers little differentiation between the rattan and real wicker, the materials are also often made with UV protected fiber that prevents color fading over time. You will be able to leave these pieces of furniture out in the open through all four seasons without being wary of weather damage and rust! We know that you want your garden to look its most beautiful and we believe you should be able to experience your garden and nature in comfort and style.
