Aluminium Sun Loungers

An aluminium sun lounger earns its keep in a way a lot of garden furniture doesn't it's not just something to sit in occasionally, it's the piece you actually stretch out on for a few hours when the weather's good, so comfort and stability matter more here than almost anywhere else in a garden set.

What's currently available

Rattan Garden Furniture Ltd Brabazon Aluminium Sun Lounger with Side Table brings the frame material used across our dining and sofa ranges into a single-lounger format, priced at £399. The side table is built into the set rather than sold separately, which matters more than it sounds a lot of standalone loungers leave you balancing a drink on the grass or reaching over to a table that doesn't quite match.

Why aluminium suits a sun lounger specifically

A lounger gets moved around more than most garden furniture chasing the sun through the afternoon, shifted into shade when it gets too hot, dragged back under cover if rain starts. Aluminium's genuine advantage here is weight: it's light enough to reposition on your own without wrestling with it, and the powder-coated frame won't rust from being left out overnight if you forget to bring it in. That combination of being lightweight but still sturdy under your full body weight is harder to get right than it sounds, which is why a well-built aluminium frame tends to outlast cheaper steel or resin alternatives that either rust or flex too much under regular use.

What to check on the reclining mechanism

Most aluminium loungers, including this one, adjust the backrest across multiple positions rather than being fixed flat or upright only. That range matters in practice fully reclined for actual sunbathing, a mid position for reading, and upright for eating something or chatting with someone sat nearby without craning your neck. It's worth checking the specific number of positions and testing the mechanism if you can, since a stiff or fiddly adjustment gets old fast if you're using the lounger regularly through summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an aluminium sun lounger better than a rattan one?

It depends on what you're after. Aluminium is lighter and easier to reposition through the day, while rattan gives more texture and a woven look. Both are weather-resistant when properly powder-coated or through-dyed.

How many reclining positions does the Brabazon lounger have?

Most aluminium loungers in this style offer multiple adjustable positions from flat to upright — check the specific product page for the exact number on this model.

Does the side table come included, or is it sold separately?

It's included as part of this set — the Brabazon Aluminium Sun Lounger with Side Table comes as a single unit, not sold separately.

Will an aluminium lounger rust if left outside?

No. Aluminium doesn't rust, and the powder-coated finish adds extra protection against moisture and UV, so it holds up well even with occasional exposure to rain.

How heavy is an aluminium lounger to move around?

Aluminium is notably lighter than steel or cast iron equivalents, which is part of why it's a popular choice for loungers that get repositioned to follow the sun through the day.

Are the cushions included, and are they weatherproof?

Cushions are typically included and showerproof, though we'd still recommend bringing them in or using a cover during prolonged rain to extend their life.

We don't have a confirmed restock date currently — get in touch with our team on 01708 757555 for the latest availability, or ask to be notified when it returns.
