Everything you need to know before you buy
When planning an interdesign home & garden sale or simply upgrading your outdoor space, material choice determines both longevity and maintenance burden. Garden furniture, decking, and structures face UK weather year-round—rain, frost, and UV exposure—so durability is non-negotiable. Understanding what separates premium materials from budget options helps you invest wisely and avoid costly replacements.
| Material | Durability | Typical UK Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardwood (teak, oak) | Very high (20+ years) | £400–£2,000+ | Statement pieces, decking, furniture |
| Composite decking | High (15–25 years) | £80–£200/m² | Low-maintenance decks, family gardens |
| Powder-coated steel | High (10–15 years) | £150–£800 | Contemporary furniture, pergolas |
| Rattan/wicker | Medium (5–10 years) | £200–£1,200 | Seating sets, covered areas |
| Aluminium | Very high (20+ years) | £300–£1,500 | Lightweight frames, modern designs |
| Pressure-treated softwood | Medium (8–12 years) | £40–£150/m² | Budget decking, raised beds |
Look for FSC certification on wood, UV-resistant finishes on textiles, and rust-resistant hardware. These details cost little upfront but add years to your investment and reduce seasonal maintenance.

Common questions about garden & outdoors
Focus on material quality and construction. Seek hardwoods like teak or iroko, powder-coated aluminium frames, and outdoor-grade fabrics rated for UV and moisture. Check for stainless-steel fixings, mortise-and-tenon joints in wooden pieces, and cushion covers with hidden zips. Avoid untreated softwood and cheap plastic frames—they degrade rapidly in British weather. Garden lighting should be IP65-rated (fully water-protected), and sheds need pressure-treated timber with proper ventilation to prevent rot.
