Outdoor Living Trends for 2019

Owing to the joint-hottest UK Summer on record, al fresco dining and garden parties were particular

Published 27th February 2019

Owing to the joint-hottest UK Summer on record, al fresco dining and garden parties were particularly popular last year. We can be confident that 2019 will follow a very similar trend. According to Horticulture Week, last year’s BBQ and Garden Furniture sales were up by an impressive 22.21% from 2017, no doubt helped by the high temperatures that we were lucky enough to receive! 

Excitingly, this year sees some new additions to the Outdoor Living Catalogue, with some great new additions to our Portofino & Toulouse rattan ranges, including the Ratten Twin Daybed which we’re sure will be a hit with consumers. Also included are some new benches from the Winawood range, designed to look just like real wood but require no maintenance thanks to their robust design. 

For consumers who want to make the most of their gardens long after the sun has gone down, you’ll be able to find a new range of Lifestyle fire pits within the catalogue - perfect for adding a touch of comfort if entertaining guests. 

Here at Stax, we’re extremely proud to have achieved another exciting distribution deal. This time with one of Europe’s leading BBQ companies, Landmann. Their extensive range of premium quality barbecues will provide consumers with even more choice of products that will stand the test of time. In addition to this, you’ll also find a huge selection of camping equipment featured in the catalogue this year.

Always striving for improvement, a number of furniture ranges from Pagoda have seen recent developments. These include the Roma, Rhodes, Kew and Richmond ranges which are now specially e-coated rather than being powder coated. One of the most significant advantages of the e-coating process is that it provides improved levels of corrosion resistance, so you can rest assured that these products
are built to last. 

We’re delighted to let you know that the majority of products featured within the 2019 Stax Outdoor Living Catalogue have had their prices either held or are even lower than last year, giving you more choice at great prices as always. You can pick up your 2019 Outdoor Living Catalogue now at your local Stax branch.
