🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set and spanners
- Allen keys (various sizes)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
📐 Key steps
- Build table first (reference for chair height)
- Assemble one chair completely as template
- Build remaining chairs identically
- Level table on final surface
- Arrange set before sitting down
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Chairs at slightly different heights
- Not levelling on actual patio surface
- Overtightening bolts (cracks plastic)
- Assembling in wrong final position
💡 Pro trick: When building multiple chairs, lay out all the same parts together - all left legs, all right legs, all seats. Assembly line approach keeps everything consistent.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🌧️ Check the weather - outdoor assembly needs dry conditions. If rain's likely, we'll reschedule rather than rush or risk damage.
Parasol safety:
- Base must match parasol size
- Heavier is always safer
- Fill hollow bases with water or sand
- Close when not in use (wind danger)
Maintenance:
- Cover furniture in winter or store inside
- Cushions should always be stored dry
- Tighten fixings at start of each season
- Clean with appropriate products
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you assemble rattan garden furniture?
Yes - rattan furniture has metal frames with weave attached. Some comes part-assembled. I'll handle whatever configuration and make sure cushions fit properly.
Will garden furniture work on grass?
Some will, some won't. Metal often sinks into soft lawn. Rattan with wide feet works better. I can advise on positioning.
My table wobbles on the patio - can you fix it?
Usually. Patio wobble is either loose fixings or uneven slabs. I can tighten everything and use levellers or shims to compensate.
Do you assemble parasols too?
Yes - including cantilever parasols with offset bases. The base must be heavy enough for safety - I'll check the setup is stable.
