About Our Aluminium Corner Sofa Sets
Aluminium corner sofa sets bring L-shaped lounge seating to your patio. Each set uses powder-coated aluminium frames that resist rust, UV fading, and frost without annual treatment. Deep-filled cushions use showerproof polyester and acrylic fabrics for outdoor durability. Corner designs seat between 5 and 8 guests while fitting neatly against a wall or fence.

Why We Chose This Range
“Aluminium corner sets are the most practical choice for UK patios. Unlike rattan, they never need covers. The powder coating means zero maintenance year after year. We only stock corner sets with frames thick enough to handle being left out through a full British winter. After testing multiple brands, we settled on sets where the cushion fill bounces back after months of use.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresTypes of Aluminium Corner Sofa Sets
Large L-Shaped Corner Sets
Full-size corner layouts seating 6 to 8 guests. These sets create a sociable seating area for entertaining. The L-shape tucks into a patio corner, keeping walkways clear. Most include a coffee table or side table in the set.
Compact Corner Sets
Smaller L-shaped designs seating 4 to 5 guests. Ideal for patios under 3m x 3m. These sets provide the corner sofa layout without dominating your outdoor space. Perfect for smaller gardens and courtyard areas.
Quick Guide: Measure your patio before ordering. Leave at least 60cm of clear space around the sofa for walking and pulling cushions off. A 3m x 3m patio area is the minimum for most L-shaped sets. Smaller spaces suit an aluminium cube set instead.
Matt's Buying Tip: Cushion Storage
The aluminium frame can stay outside year-round without damage. Cushions are showerproof but not fully waterproof. Store them in a dry box or bring them indoors between October and March. This simple step doubles the cushion lifespan. Replacement cushion covers are available from the manufacturer if needed.
All aluminium corner sofa sets include free UK delivery. Frames carry up to 5-year warranties against manufacturing defects. Most sets arrive partially assembled and take 30 to 60 minutes to put together. Add a parasol for shade on sunny days. Browse our full garden furniture range for more options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can sit on a corner sofa set?
Most corner sofa sets seat between 5 and 8 adults. The exact capacity depends on the length of each arm section. Larger sets often include additional stools or a matching ottoman. Check the individual product dimensions before ordering to confirm the set fits your guest count.
Can aluminium corner sofas stay outside in winter?
Yes, the aluminium frames can stay outside year-round. Powder-coated finishes protect against rain, frost, and UV exposure. Remove and store cushions indoors during the colder months. A breathable furniture cover keeps the frame cleaner between uses.
What surface do I need for a corner sofa set?
A flat, level surface such as paving or decking is ideal. Avoid placing sets directly on grass as the legs can sink. If grass is your only option, use flat paving slabs under each leg. Level ground prevents the frame from rocking.
Are the cushions waterproof?
Cushions are showerproof, not fully waterproof. They handle light rain and morning dew without issue. During heavy or prolonged rain, bring cushions indoors or use a dry storage box. Storing cushions between uses extends their lifespan by two to three years.
How do I maintain an aluminium corner sofa?
Wipe the frame with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the powder coating. Machine-wash removable cushion covers on a gentle cycle. Check frame joints at the start of each season and tighten any loose bolts.
What is the difference between a corner set and a standard sofa set?
Corner sets are L-shaped and tuck into patio corners. Standard sofa sets use straight or modular layouts. Corner sets seat more people in a smaller footprint. Standard sets are more flexible for arranging in different configurations across your patio.
