HANDWOVEN PETAN® SYNTHETIC WICKER FOR ALL WEATHERS

Petan® is our environmentally friendly, durable and weather resistant wicker which has a natural colour and feel. Petan® has been developed to provide the highest levels of performance for use in outdoor furniture.

Petan® is made from raw polyethylene mixed with eco-friendly colour additives, making it 100% recyclable. Also, unlike other producers of synthetic wicker, LifestyleGarden® uses no harmful chemicals to make Petan®. Our specially formulated blends give the Petan® fibre its unique look and extra strength and also produce a surface that is extremely comfortable to sit on while also being able to withstand heavy use. Petan® has excellent colour fastness and is also very flexible, meaning complex weaves can be achieved to create beautiful designs.

Will the appearance of Petan® change over time?

Petan® products will retain their colour as only the highest-grade colour pigment is used to ensure maximum colour fastness. However if Petan® is subjected to extreme weather conditions for extended periods of time, the colour may fade slightly.

Do Petan® products have a warranty?

All LifestyleGarden® Petan® products come with a 5-year warranty.

Responsibly sourced material

Petan® is made with a combination of raw polyethylene and eco-friendly colourants which is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Petan® does not contain harmful heavy metals such as cadimium, lead and chromium which can be found in the products of other manufacturers.

Maintenance and care

All LifestyleGarden® furniture is designed and manufactured to provide the highest levels of durability and weather-resistance as well as looking great with a minimum of maintenance. However, we do understand the importance of prolonging the life and maintaining the premium-quality finishes used on many of our pieces.

Petan® requires no maintenance at all during its lifecycle. If the Petan® surface becomes dirty, cleaning with soap and water is sufficient.
