Spring might seem a long way off as the high winds and driving rain batter our shores, but it really will be here before you know it. And with the arrival of spring, your garden will burst into life, with stunning colours and fresh green shoots everywhere, the bustle of spring wildlife and the busy new season birds building nests and searching for that all important partner for the breeding season.

With so much going on, you’ll want to be sure that you have a front row seat for all the spring action in your garden, so that you can enjoy every minute of nature waking up from winter. Which means that now is the time to plan for your garden furniture, with a little help from Shackletons.

Shackletons have a huge range of garden furniture and outdoor furniture, including stunning cast iron styles, rattan garden furniture and lots more, with sizes and styles to suit almost any lawn, patio, deck or yard. We have an excellent selection of benches, picnic sets, tables and chairs and lots more besides at Shackletons. And if you’re quick, you can make some serious saving ahead of the new season, with Shackletons January sale. Our Gloster range is now 30% off, with 35% off our Neptune range and a massive 70% off selected items in the Westminster collection.

Your garden may be the last thing on your mind right now, but when the spring does arrive in just a few short weeks, you’ll be glad you planned ahead, and saved, at Shackletons. With beautiful, brand new garden furniture ready and waiting, you’ll be able to shake off those cobwebs and get out in the fresh air and sunshine straight away to enjoy the very best that spring has to offer in your garden.

We are currently half way through the winter season and although it may seem like a million miles away, the spring and summer seasons really are just around the corner. With the temperatures improving in the UK from March onwards people’s attentions will turn to spending more time in the garden.

Of course making sure your lawn is tidy, flower beds are neatly arranged and the pond is clean are common situations that many people class as vital jobs to do in the warmer seasons. It would be unwise not to consider the effect that garden furniture and accessories can have for the image of a garden.

As with the interior of your home, making sure that your outdoor furniture is in pristine condition is a huge consideration, especially at times of the year when more people will be socialising and sitting in your garden.

Shackletons Home and Garden are advising people that preparation is the key when it comes to choosing garden furniture this year, as we all know once the sunshine breaks out for prolonged periods there is usually unbelievable demand for outdoor furniture and accessories.

Choosing the right outdoor furniture to suit your garden and personal tastes will also reflect to people that you have put time and effort into creating a chic area for relaxation. One of the garden design trends of 2012 is expected to be Rattan garden furniture, a style built to last that screams of exceptional quality.

Rattan garden furniture has grown in popularity over the last few years due to the unique design and manufacture process involved in creating such stunning outdoor furniture. Combining a sleek metal frame with traditional hand crafted weave offers durability, strength and comfort to compliment any garden.

If you are looking to add one off pieces of Rattan garden furniture such as dining sets or you want to explore the possibilities of creating a garden décor with a whole Rattan focus, Shackletons home and Garden are market leaders.
