Alfresco dining at its best!
One of the best things about summer is sharing a meal with friends and family under the evening sun. Every New Zealand backyard needs an outdoor table and our range of outdoor dining and bar tables doesn’t disappoint. We have the perfect selection of dining furniture of all styles and materials to give you the ultimate pièce de résistance to centre your summer around! Match with a set of dining chairs for the perfect set-up. Check out our buying guide to help find the best one for you.
Lounge out in the sun
A sofa can be good for sharing the summer with friends, but when you want to relax in the sun, you really want to relax. Our range of loungers are perfect for lazy weekend afternoons in the sun when all you want to do is lay down with a good book and a cool drink. Take our Coromandel Lounger for example – you’ll feel like you’re laying on a cloud!
Gather around the fire
Just because it is summer doesn’t necessarily mean you can go without a fire. For those nights when it’s too good to go back inside once the sun goes down, an outdoor fireplace can help keep the night going. A great way to keep the temperature warm, a great fireplace can also provide a new ambience to your outdoor area. Simply follow a few safety tips, and soon the mainstay of your winter can be the key to unlock a perfect summer!
Keep covered under an umbrella
As nice as it is to sit out in the summer sun, sun safety cannot be forgotten. More New Zealanders die each year from melanoma than they do on the roads – but don’t worry, staying safe in the sun doesn’t have to ruin your backyard!
Complete your outdoor area with an outdoor umbrella for convenient but stylish shade. Our most popular umbrella, the Aspen Cantilever Umbrella, provides unrivalled strength and convenience, without compromising on style. Truly the pinnacle of outdoor umbrellas, the Aspen Cantilever is truly the perfect piece to shade your outdoor area!
“One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter”
