Direct answer
Can I source outdoor furniture from Foshan through Source Foshan?
Yes. Source Foshan sources outdoor furniture for overseas buyers from Foshan showrooms and the outdoor furniture factories around Shunde and Gaoming, including outdoor sofas and sectionals, dining sets, lounge chairs, sun loungers and tables in powder-coated aluminium, teak, outdoor rope and solution-dyed fabric. Buyers send a furniture list, reference images or a terrace plan, together with the destination climate. Source Foshan shortlists suppliers by frame material, confirms coating, foam, fabric and hardware grade in writing, compares quotes, places orders, inspects each piece against its spec sheet before shipment and consolidates outdoor and indoor items into one container from its Foshan warehouse.

What can be customised

What clients say
They came for the prices. They stayed for the process.
Homeowners, designers and project buyers on what it was actually like to source furniture through a local team in Foshan.
★★★★★
Honestly, I expected a tour guide and got a project manager. Grace walked us through Lecong in two days, kept every quote in one spreadsheet, and the container turned up with nothing broken. We'd budgeted for a few disasters. There weren't any.
★★★★★
We're a small studio and can't fly to China for every job. Sent the FF&E list on a Monday, had three priced options per line by Thursday. The QC photos before the balance payment are the part my clients love.
★★★★★
The sofa we wanted was about a third of the London showroom price in the same fabric. What actually sold me was Luke measuring the frame at the factory before they upholstered it. You don't get that from a website.
★★★★★
I was nervous about paying a factory I'd never met. Everything went into one quote, deposits went to company accounts, and Wolina sent photos every week. Boring in the best possible way.
★★★★★
Our 42-room hotel needed a model room before we committed to anything. They arranged the factory visit and the sample room, and caught two spec mistakes I'd missed on the schedule. Worth it for that alone.
★★★★★
Three suppliers, one container, one set of documents. That sentence alone saved me weeks of emails.

See the projects behind the wordsIs outdoor furniture from Foshan suitable for a coastal or tropical site?
It can be, if the specification is right. Source Foshan asks for the destination climate before shortlisting Foshan suppliers, then specifies 316 stainless hardware, salt-spray tested powder coat, UV-stabilised rope and solution-dyed acrylic fabric for coastal or tropical sites. Standard showroom sets are often built for milder use, so frame, coating and fabric are confirmed in writing rather than assumed from the showroom sample.
What is the difference between quick-dry foam and ordinary cushion foam?
Quick-dry foam is open-cell reticulated foam that lets water pass through and drain from the cushion base, so cushions dry in hours rather than days and resist mildew. Ordinary high-density indoor foam holds water. Source Foshan confirms which foam a Foshan supplier is quoting and asks for a drainable liner or mesh base under the cushion, because an outdoor cover over indoor foam is a common substitution.
Can Source Foshan match a specific outdoor fabric or frame colour?
Usually, yes. Foshan outdoor furniture factories can powder-coat aluminium frames to a RAL colour for a project quantity and can switch cushions to another outdoor fabric from their range. Buyer-supplied fabric is possible with extra lead time. Source Foshan confirms colour with a physical coated sample or fabric swatch before production; single sets are normally limited to the supplier's stock colours.
Can outdoor and indoor furniture ship together?
Yes. Source Foshan consolidates purchases from several Foshan suppliers in its Foshan warehouse, so outdoor sofas, dining sets and loungers load into the same container as indoor furniture. Outdoor items are bulky, so Source Foshan plans the container around packed volume, with cushions bagged separately, frames foam-wrapped and stone table tops in plywood crates. Sea freight typically takes 2–6 weeks door to door.
How long does outdoor furniture take from Foshan?
Showroom stock in Foshan typically ships in 1–3 weeks. Made-to-order sets in a supplier's standard colours and fabrics take about 30–60 days. Custom frame colours, custom module layouts or buyer-supplied fabric are treated as custom pieces at 4–10 weeks of production. Sea freight adds 2–6 weeks door to door. Source Foshan confirms the lead time per supplier in the quote and tracks production with weekly photo updates.
What does Source Foshan check on outdoor furniture before it ships?
Source Foshan inspects each outdoor item against its spec sheet: powder-coat coverage on welds and edges, sealed joints with no bare steel, drain holes in frames and seat pans, rope tension, cushion foam type, fabric and stitching, hardware grade and cover fit. Stone tops are checked for thickness and edge finish. Photos and video go to the buyer, who approves before shipment; the balance is paid after the QC report.
