Patio Sets : What Size Should You Buy?

Patio sets generally come with 4, 6 or 8 chairs along with the table although generally you can buy additional chairs if required with the better quality sets.

When deciding what size to buy think about

  1. How big your family is or your typical group of friends who will be gathering around the table, particularly if you intend to serve meals in the garden
  2. How much room you have on your patio – no point in buying a bigger table and chairs than will fit – and remember you will need room to walk around your patio furniture
  3. How much storage space you have if you intend to put your table and chairs away for the winter

If you buy enough patio furniture for a typical group you can always supplement when additional guest arrive with folding chairs you store in your garden shed or garage or with chairs from your home – even picnic rugs and cushions for an informal or impromptu party.

If you have a 6 piece patio set and are having a more formal larger occasion in your garden you could hire chairs or borrow from friends.

When buying your patio set also think about any additional matching items you need such as side tables, cart, foot stools and reclining chairs or loungers. The best patio sets will be around a few years and you should be able to buy additional matching items later but you can’t guarantee it.
