Thickness is the number buyers ask about, but the filling, the cover and the detailing decide how a cushion behaves in year three. This guide covers the thicknesses and fillings published on the current outdoor furniture range, how a cushion sets the finished seat height, piped, quilted and speckled detailing, why a removable cover matters, and what actually drives container loading when you order.

Rooftop terraces fail on three things: wind, the weight of every piece, and the route the furniture takes to get upstairs. This guide covers all three with real weights and carton sizes, and explains how shade is held down when the roof cannot be drilled.

A planning method for pool decks and terraces: work from usable deck area, deduct circulation, size the lounger bay, then match umbrella shade to the bays. Includes a worked 200 m2 example, a narrow-deck case, capacity tables and the base specification that follows.

How many chairs actually fit a round, rectangular or extendable outdoor dining table?
