If not already, it might be worth getting a nice patio seating area for your garden patio.
Normally you would get something that is temporary and can easily be folded down and stored away in a shed/storage space when not required during winter months.
Though with temporary sets don’t get the cheap tacky plastic sets; they don’t weather well and the plastic becomes discoloured when left out in the sun and other harsh weather conditions.
It’s always best to save for something decent, but also something that is light weight so it can be stored away when not required; the heavy wooden sets might not be ideal, as they will often start looking pretty blah after a number of years and will need to be stripped down, repaired, and then re-coated.
A nice metal framed set that is light weight, and comes with a glass top for a table is ideal, and you can cover them up or store them away when not being used.
So when making your choice, go with what suites your tastes better, but make sure it’s portable and ages well over time.
