Rope garden sofas have grown in popularity over the last 12 months. This is because they are made of a highly durable material with a more contemporary look. Outdoor rope is made to be highly weather resistant and is usually handwoven around an aluminium frame. Some of the outdoor rope sets are made with a synthetic core, which is made from polypropylene. This core ensures that the rope has minimal stretch and absorbs as little water as possible. Many of our customers think that rope is not as strong as rattan but this is a misconception. Rope is made with similar raw materials to PE rattan. We have rope garden sofa sets on display in both our Wakefield and Newcastle showrooms and our team are always on hand to offer expert advice.

About Our Rope Sofa Sets
Rope garden sofa sets combine modern design with relaxed comfort. Rope furniture is growing in popularity and is a standout choice for any contemporary garden. Whether you want to create a cosy lounging corner or a chic space for socialising, rope sofa sets offer an elevated aesthetic with great durability.   Rope used in garden furniture is designed to be highly weather-resistant. Garden rope is both UV-resistant and frost-resistant, perfect for all weather conditions. 4 Seasons Outdoor uses round rope with a synthetic core. They use a polypropylene base, ensuring the rope has minimal stretch and does not absorb moisture. The outer shell is soft yet highly water-repellent, UV-resistant and colourfast.  Another rope variant is a flat rope, where the difference lies in the interweaving of polypropylene material with acrylic fabric. This technique allows the weavers to achieve a different look with all of the same weather-resistant properties.  One advantage of rope is that it is low-maintenance. Rope outdoor sofa sets are easy to care for, just rinse or wipe down the rope.   Rope is a flexible material that can be used to create several different looks. Something as simple as the colour can completely transform the feel of your set. If you’re looking for a more natural, earthy look, you should consider beige, olive green or natural-toned rope. Whereas for a bold, contemporary look, grey is a better choice.  When choosing the right configuration for you, there are a few different choices:  • Two/Three Seat Sofas - Two or three seat sofa sets often include armchairs to create a more flexible seating arrangement • Corner Sofas - Corner sofas effortlessly fit into the corner of your outdoor living space to create a place for lounging and dining • Adjustable Dining - These sofa sets feature a rising table that can be adjusted to coffee or dining table height   Q: Does rope garden furniture retain water? A: Rope sofa sets retain minimal water; the rope used is quick-dry.  Q: Can I leave my rope sofa set outside all year? A: Yes, you can leave your rope sofa set outside all year.  Q: How do I clean rope outdoor furniture? A: Use a mix of warm water and mild soap.
