A Tradition of British Craftsmanship

At Fantails, we design and handcraft distinctive wooden garden furniture in Dorset. As an established family business, we combine traditional woodworking skills with decades of experience to create furniture that offers lasting quality, individuality and exceptional comfort.

Original Designs & Comfort

Our swing seats feature distinctive slatted designs, carefully shaped for comfort and support. Our Adirondack chairs and benches combine classic styling with generous proportions and ergonomic seating, making them a beautiful and practical addition to any garden.

Quality Materials & Craftsmanship

We use carefully selected Western Red Cedar and specially milled, pressure-treated Scandinavian redwood. Every piece is individually made with attention to detail, using materials and construction methods chosen for outdoor use.

Designed for Years of Enjoyment

We believe good garden furniture should last. Our designs incorporate replaceable components, making maintenance and repairs possible rather than replacing the entire piece. Our furniture also comes with a 5-year structural defect guarantee.

Experience & Personal Service

Our furniture has been exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. As a business that designs and makes its own furniture, we offer personal advice directly from the maker. You’re also welcome to visit our Dorset workshop and display garden by appointment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I bought my swing seat from Fantails 16 years ago after seeing it at the Hampton Court Flower Show, and it has been one of the best garden purchases I've made. It has been much loved and well used over the years.  I've recently ordered a replacement swing seat as the original one had sadly succumbed to weathering.

The quality and durability of their products are outstanding, and their customer care is just as impressive. The team was friendly, helpful, and made the replacement process easy. It's rare to find a company that continues to provide such excellent service so many years after the original purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fantails to anyone looking for a high-quality swing seat backed by fantastic customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently ordered a replacement swing seat from Fantails, after enjoying the swing they provided for over 25 years.  The seat has only just finally succumbed to weather damage.  The sturdy Cedar frame is still sound, although now covered in Clematis. We discovered Fantails during a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show all those years ago, and the swing has been a special part of our London back garden ever since.   Jean and Richard

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We purchased our Fantails swing seat 25 years ago at the Hampton Court Flower Show and it’s still going strong! It supports our Trachelospermum beautifully and remains a timeless addition to our garden. Best of all, they still provide spare parts and offer wonderful, helpful service after all these years.

I bought a swing seat at least 25 years ago and it is still going - they are beautiful to sit on as they support the whole of your back. I bought a new swing recently and am equally delighted . Service was excellent and we are delighted with new swing in our garden- Can't recommend them highly enough

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I bought a twin swing seat from Fantails from their stand at the Hampton Court Flower Show about 20 years ago. It's still as comfortable and well used as when I first got it. It's extremely well made and robust. It has side tables on the upright for drinks which is perfect. A real quality product. Dealing with Dan and his team is a real pleasure, friendly and helpful. I can't recommend them enough. I just wish more small businesses were as good as Fantails. Great products and service. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought a Fantails single swing in cedar from Dan’s dad back in 1999. For 25 years it has been much admired, and visiting family always make a beeline for it. We are finally replacing the seat, but the frame and the seat cushion are still in good shape. If you are concerned about how long this furniture might last, worry no more!
