Upgrade your garden furniture
The versatile Venice from Daro offers a modular design that makes it simple to add components to suit your outdoor space
When it comes to garden and conservatory furniture it’s often confusing as there’s a huge selection to choose from. Rattan is trending in online searches at the moment but you might be tempted by aluminium, weave, wood or recycled options. How do you find out what’s best for you?

Choose the best barbecue
For premier outdoor cooking the Traeger Timberline WiFi pellet grill pushes the limits of what's possible in grilling technology
Who doesn’t love cooking outdoors? Getting the barbecue out signals the start of summer like nothing else. But perhaps yours is no longer up to the job so it could be time to invest in a new one.
Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just the two of you LOFA can help you find a barbecue to suit your individual grilling needs. From the latest gas, hybrid and charcoal versions to the must-have accessories to go with them, LOFA members manufacture and supply the best barbecues, so whatever you’re looking for they can help.
