The Rattan Garden Furniture Set Dimensions Database: UK Room-Fit Data

Rattan garden furniture sets are chosen by seat count, but they fail on footprint. Our 2026 room-fit analysis finds that the deciding measurement in a British garden is not the size of the set itself but the clear area required around it, which is commonly 60cm to 90cm greater on every side than buyers allow for.
