Garden chairs are a brilliant way to boost the appeal of your outdoor living space. Whether you're a fan of on-trend string chairs, stylish rattan pod chairs, or need some folding chairs for your next BBQ, there are lots of styles to help make your space a comfy retreat.
When it comes to buying garden chairs, wrought iron and steel are the most durable materials, although they are also the heaviest. For fun family get-togethers with children present, consider stackable garden chairs or wipe-clean HDPE plastic chairs — one of the more long-lasting options. And, for the style-conscious among you, choose synthetic resin, rattan or poly rattan.
Some outdoor chairs come with cushions (such as this snuggly option from M&S), while others are designed to be stacked and stored after use. If you're after something a little different, we have also included deck chairs, smaller garden sofas and Instagrammable pod chairs in our round-up. On that note, take a look at our favourite styles below...
