Selling garden furniture in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Adelaide has around 1.4 million people in South Australia, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Teak and hardwood sets that weather well
- Original covers included
What pulls it down
- Rusted steel frames
- Mouldy or missing cushions
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame for rust or splitting
- Count the chairs and cushions against the original set
Getting it ready
- Wash everything down and let it dry fully. Green algae film comes off with soapy water and takes years off the appearance.
- Check every joint and bolt on folding or modular pieces, and count the chairs against the table.

- Whether it folds, stacks or dismantles for transport
A short, sharp season from April to July. Listing in spring is worth substantially more than the same set in September, so if it is autumn, storing it until March is usually the better decision.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
