With the warmer weather (well, when it shows up), we are all looking for affordable garden furniture. And this is because often stepping outside often means confronting last year’s mouldy garden sofa set. The once-vibrant colours have faded to a weary grey, the rattan is crumbling, and the cushions have gone mouldy. Just thinking about the clean-up is enough to make anyone want to go back indoors.
So, what’s the solution?
Sure, we’d all love to splurge on luxury outdoor furniture sets that cost thousands—but our budgets don’t always agree with our hearts (or Pinterest boards). Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune to create a stylish, comfortable, and inviting garden space.
Here’s a concise guide to affordable garden furniture that combines style, comfort, and value.
It’s no secret: the better your DIY skills, the more affordable everyday life becomes. When you do it yourself, you not only save money—you also get the satisfaction of creating something unique.
One of the best budget-friendly garden ideas this year? A pallet garden sofa.
With just a few wooden pallets (often free or very cheap), some sanding, paint or wood stain, and a few comfy cushions, you can build a stylish and eco-friendly garden seating area for a fraction of the cost of store-bought furniture. The ultimate cheap garden furniture.
Bonus: You can customise the size, shape, and colour to suit your space perfectly. Whether it’s a corner sofa, a bench, or even a daybed—your creativity sets the limit.
Small pallet sofa requires only 3 standard euro pallets, two for the base and 1 for the back plus Impact Furniture’s set of pallet sofa cushions at £69. This is the easiest of DIY projects, this cheap garden sofa provides ultimate value for money for the space gained!

For this low cost garden furniture set you’ll need just 10 Euro pallets and corner pallet cushions set:
6 pallets for the base

By adding some of Impact Furniture’s grey quilted corner pallet sofa cushions and you’ve got a custom garden sofa at a fraction of the retail price.
