SALONE GARDEN SOFA FROM<br />

for the cushions. The frame is powered coated<br />
aluminium and comes with a 7 year guarantee<br />
and the cushions are what is called ‘hydrophobic’<br />
meaning they repel water - they’re UV resistant<br />
too. We can leave it out all year - thought we have<br />
bought a cover to protect it for when it isn’t in use.<br />
The access for the site is also dreadful! But the<br />
delivery team made it look effortless and even did<br />
it with a smile - we were so impressed.<br />
HOW IS IT LIT?<br />
We don’t have a direct power source up there so<br />
lots of installed lights were an issue - so we opted<br />
for a mixture of options from lights4fun.co.uk -<br />
mostly their amazing solar-powered lights, which<br />
have a great output given their diminutive size! We<br />
also have some festoon lights from there - these<br />
come in connectable 5m lengths so it’s great to<br />
have options to make the right size for your space.<br />
WHAT’S NEXT?<br />
The craze for fire pits continues and we’d like to<br />
get our hands on one - we always intended it for<br />
the hoggin area in the bottom section with some<br />
more seating around it. That spot also tends to get<br />
the last of the afternoon rays.<br />
