### Why Professional Setup Makes Sense
Outdoor furniture assembly is **worse than indoor flat-pack**. Heavier pieces, weather-resistant materials that don't slot together smoothly, parasol mechanisms that need proper setup. It's a pain.
| ✅ Professionally Set Up | ❌ DIY Frustration | |-------------------------|-------------------| | Assembled correctly first time | Missing parts, wrong holes | | Positioned for sun/shade/flow | Random placement, then moved | | Parasol standing firm | Falls over first breeze | | Ready same day | Weekend project turns into three weekends |

Good to Know
> 🌤️ **Weather timing:** Set this up during a dry spell. Assembling furniture in the rain is miserable, and you want to enjoy it immediately once it's ready. May to September is prime outdoor dining season in Devon. **Furniture materials** - rattan effect is popular but needs covering when not used. Metal rusts in coastal air unless powder-coated. Hardwood lasts decades. Choose based on how much maintenance you want. **Multi-year setup** - if you store furniture over winter, I can help with end-of-season breakdown and spring reassembly. Some people book both services annually. **Garden parties** - need more than just dining furniture? I can also help with gazebo setup, extra seating arrangement, outdoor bar area, etc. for larger events. **Older Devon gardens** often have uneven lawns or patios. I can shim table legs to stop wobbling, or advise on levelling areas properly for permanent setup. **Gazebos need proper securing** - weights on all legs, guy ropes if it's staying up. Devon's exposed to weather coming off the sea. A loose gazebo becomes a very expensive kite.
Frequently Asked Questions about Outdoor dining setup in Exmouth
What does outdoor dining setup include?
I'll assemble any flat-pack patio furniture, position your dining table and chairs, set up parasol or gazebo, add outdoor lighting if you want it, and generally get your garden ready for summer entertaining. Everything arranged so you can sit down and enjoy it rather than spending your weekend with an Allen key.
Can you assemble new patio furniture as part of this?
Yes - most outdoor dining sets come flat-pack these days. I'll assemble the table, all the chairs, put the parasol together and get it standing properly. Much quicker than DIY because I've done dozens of them.
Do you provide the furniture or just set up mine?
I set up yours. You buy what suits your space and budget - I make sure it's assembled correctly and arranged nicely. If you want advice on what to buy, happy to suggest before you order.
What about gazebos and parasols?
I can erect gazebos (weighted properly so they don't blow away), put up cantilever parasols, fit parasols through table holes, whatever your setup needs. Parasols especially need securing - Devon breeze will have them across the garden otherwise.
How long does outdoor dining setup take?
Simple setup of existing furniture is about an hour. Full job with flat-pack assembly for table, 6 chairs, parasol and some lighting is closer to 2 hours. Big gazebo adds time. I'll estimate once I know what you've got.
