About us : Established in
1992 Rain or Shine is a family-run business designing and crafting
traditionally made hardwood garden furniture in our own Wiltshire
workshops. We produce excellent quality furniture at fantastic
prices for sale direct to the public. Many items can be made to
measure, including tables at any size up to 8ft x 4ft.
Construction : The furniture
is made from Iroko and European Oak using traditional mortise and tenon joints
which are finished and fitted by hand. All of the furniture is NOT
flat-packed, mass produced or imported
The Timber : Iroko and Oak are imported
from sustainable sources. They are both very durable
hardwoods with a natural high oil content and can be left outside
all year uncovered and will last for 30 years plus.
The Finish : Untreated the
timbers will weather to an attractive silvery grey colour, small
cracks may appear on the furniture but this is a normal characteristic
and does not affect the strength and durability. If you prefer
the timbers can be treated, this will give it a golden brown colour.
We supply all our furniture untreated. The furniture can be treated
with any good quality stain or oil available from DIY
stores. We recommend two coats when new and then one coat each
year.
Delivery : We
deliver with our own transport, charges start from £9 with the maximum being
£30.
Aftercare : We recommend
to clean the furniture each year using soapy water or a jetwash.
If treating the furniture give the wood a light rub down with
a fine sandpaper if necessary and then re-apply the treatment every
year.
