Most courtyards and backyards are assembled from four or five suppliers — a sofa from one factory, a pergola from another, a dining set from a third. OGPSGroup runs the whole programme instead: one engineering spec, one quality standard, one production calendar and one consolidated container, so the space arrives as one coherent set rather than a collection of near-misses.
Sourcing a whole outdoor space piece by piece is the default, and it is expensive in ways that never show up on a quote. Every extra supplier adds a specification, a quality standard, a shipment and a person to chase — and removes a layer of accountability from the finished result.
The costs surface late: a sofa that is a different grey from the pergola, a shipment that slips behind the others, a defect one supplier would have rejected but another shipped, and a broken leg with no way to replace it short of reordering the set.
What a patchwork of suppliers actually costs you, in practice:
What one programme puts back in your hands:
This is the work, not a catalogue. Six things run on every courtyard programme, whatever the category mix — and each one ends in something you can hold: a spec sheet, a sample, an inspection report, a container.
When four suppliers spec four products, they spec them to their own house standard — their own aluminium thickness, their own powder colour, their own fastener. On site those differences show up as a sofa that is a slightly different grey from the pergola beside it, and a set that cannot be repaired from a single spare-parts list. We take the whole space under one engineering document: one frame spec, one finish, one fastener schedule, one packing method.
Service 01 One spec, one set of drawings and a sign-off sheet that covers every category in the space.
Product development →A courtyard is rarely one factory’s job. Aluminium seating, a powder-coated pergola and a resin storage box are made by completely different specialists. We place each category with the factory that actually does it best, and hold that capacity to your calendar — rather than betting the whole programme on one line that claims to make everything equally well, and quietly subcontracting the parts it cannot.
Service 02 A vetted factory per category, with capacity held to your calendar and a backup already identified.
Product sourcing →The cheapest place to find a problem is on a sample, not on a container. You see and handle the actual product — frame, weave, cushion, finish — before anything is made in volume, and we freeze the approved sample as the production reference. That frozen sample is what the factory produces against and what QC inspects against, so approval and production cannot quietly drift apart.
Service 03 Pre-production samples of every category, and a locked finish before mass production starts.
Retail QC is usually a spot-check at the end of a line, judged by eye. Contract QC is a written standard applied to every batch. Orders run at an agreed AQL level — AQL 2.5 by default, or the standard you specify — as both an in-line and a pre-shipment inspection, with a report issued per batch. The first container and the tenth are judged the same way, whichever factory produced them.
Service 04 Batch inspection reports, at one written standard, from the first container to the last.
How we run QC →The same chair is a different shipping product depending on where it is going. A garden-centre set is packed as a shoppable display unit; an Amazon set has to survive a delivery network and fit a size tier; a retail DC set is palletised and barcoded for automated routing. We engineer the packaging around the product’s weakest point and the channel it actually lands in — not around a generic box that suits the factory.
Service 05 Channel-ready packaging — damage-resistant, cube-optimised, and marked to your spec.
The last thing that fragments is shipping. Instead of four suppliers, four forwarders and four arrivals, every category is packed into one mixed container and shipped on one calendar — one booking, one bill of lading, one arrival, and one point of contact if anything moves. Grouping categories into a single load also lifts container utilisation, which is where a real part of the freight saving comes from.
Service 06 One consolidated FCL, packed to a load plan and landed at your port.
Cost & freight →The work is above; this is the calendar for it. Five phases and the weeks they fall in — so you know when a sample lands, when a batch is inspected and when the container sails, before you commit to anything.
Share drawings or photos and the volumes. You get back the category list, the factory shortlist and a draft calendar.
Samples travel to you with a sign-off date already sitting in the calendar, so approval never becomes the reason a season slips.
Factories run in parallel, not one after another — production, inspection and packing overlap to protect the sail date.
Mixed-channel orders pack together here, so a retail-display set and an e-commerce set can still share a single sail.
One loading date, one sailing, one arrival — the date the rest of your plan hangs off.
Indicative timings — confirmed per project and per season, and locked into the calendar you sign off.
The full set an outdoor space needs — made and consolidated under one spec, one QC standard and one container. This is the one place on this page we list products; everywhere else is the work behind them.
Sofas & seating Modular sofas, armchairs and coffee and side tables — the social centre of the space, in aluminium or teak frames with quick-dry cushions.
Dining & bistro Dining and bistro sets and stackable chairs for breakfast through to late dinner — with stackable profiles where storage space is tight.
Sun loungers & daybeds Sun loungers, chaises and daybeds for the poolside or lawn — the pieces that take the most sun, sold with replaceable cushions and covers.
Umbrellas & shade Cantilever and centre-pole umbrellas and bases — flexible shade that moves to wherever the sun is, engineered to the site wind zone.
Pergolas & structures Fixed pergolas, gazebos and hardtop structures — permanent shade, specified to the same frame finish as the furniture beneath them.
Storage Deck boxes, storage benches and sheds, sized to hold the cushions and covers of the set they sit beside, so everything has a dry home off-season.
What we don't make: paving and decking, planting and landscaping, garden lighting and irrigation, fencing and trellis. We run the outdoor living products at the centre of the space and work alongside your landscape contractor for the rest. Saying this plainly matters — a supplier who claims to do the paving, the planting and the lighting too is usually subcontracting all three.
The work above is what you watch happen. This is the paperwork you keep — the folder that still exists two years later, when the question is no longer what we bought, but what exactly we bought and whether we can buy it again.
A programme does not end at the port. What a buyer actually lives with is the second season, the broken leg and the reorder — so the parts list, the spec file and the category line are all kept live long after the first container has landed.
Legs, feet, webbing, cushions and covers stay on the parts list for years — so season three is a replacement, not a whole new set.
Your file is held, not your memory of it: a reorder a year later matches the last one even if the person who placed it has moved on.
Categories are kept continuous across seasons, so the piece you add in year two still belongs to the set you bought in year one.
A courtyard in Florida and a courtyard in Bavaria are not the same brief. The same programme produces a different specification depending on where the space actually stands — so the material, finish and fabric are chosen for the conditions, not for a catalogue and a guess.
Coastal & salt air Marine-grade aluminium, a high film-build powder coat and salt-spray-verified finishes, with stainless fasteners throughout the frame.
High UV & heat Solution-dyed, colour-fast fabrics and UV-stabilised weave that hold their colour through a full summer in direct sun.
Cold & wet Frost- and moisture-tolerant materials, drainage-aware frame details, and covers built for a storage season.
Balcony & urban Compact footprints, wind-rated shade structures, and modular pieces sized to fit a lift, a stairwell and a small terrace.
The programme is designed for businesses that sell into the space — retailers, brands, importers and developers — not for the homeowner buying a single set. If you resell, specify or hand over outdoor living products at volume, this is built for you.
You set a spring floor and need a coordinated range that arrives together, on one bill, ready to sell. We spec the floor set as one collection, align the packaging to your shelf, and hold the delivery date against your opening. When the season ends, the same spec is ready to repeat.
Browse the range →You sell backyard sets online and live or die by reviews and dimensional weight. Packaging is engineered around the product’s weakest point and the size tier it has to fit, so the set survives a delivery network and does not eat your margin on freight. One spec also means a reorder looks like the listing your customers already rated.
E-commerce program →You move full containers and want one supplier across the range instead of a spreadsheet of factories to reconcile. We consolidate the mix, own the schedule, hold the QC line and give you one document trail. Your buyers get one face for the range and one number to call.
Consolidation program →You hand over finished outdoor spaces on a date and need the same set to repeat unit after unit — same spec, same finish, without re-approving it on every building. We hold the spec on file and re-run it against each phase of your handover calendar.
You own a brand or a range and want a collection engineered to your spec and made under your own label, refreshed season after season without drifting from what customers already trust. The programme is the same one we run for contract and private-label work, applied to a single space.
Private-label program →You design a client’s outdoor space and specify what fills it. You need one supplier who can build the whole scheme to your drawings, hold one finish across every category, and turn samples around quickly enough to show a client before the design is signed off.
A courtyard is used daily, cleaned weekly and weathered year-round, under sun, rain, salt and chlorine. A retail patio set is not built for that. The programme is written to those conditions — with the documentation to prove it, not just a brochure photo.
AQL 2.5 — or your stated standard — applied in-line and pre-shipment, with a batch report you can hold a supplier to.
Vetted, ISO 9001 factories with BSCI social-compliance checks, audited before they join a programme and re-checked on performance.
Built to EN 581 load expectations for outdoor seating and tables, with reinforced welds and serviceable parts.
REACH documentation supplied for substrates, fabrics, finishes and coatings on request.
Salt-spray and UV data on powder-coated frames and commercial weave — specified for coastal and high-UV sites.
Client-appointed inspectors and third-party labs are welcomed at every batch; we do not gatekeep the audit.
We are a manufacturer and a programme manager, not a test lab. Where a standard needs a certificate — a structural calculation, a chemical report, a load test — we supply the documentation we hold and welcome a lab you appoint to verify it independently.
The same space, sourced two ways. The left column is what most buyers live with today; the right is what the programme replaces it with.
“We used to build our spring floor from four factories. Now it comes off one spec and one container — and it finally looks like one collection.”
Buying team · European garden retail chain
European garden retail chain A garden retail chain was assembling its outdoor-living floor set from a different supplier for each part of the range. Colour and finish drifted between categories, buyers noticed the mismatch on the shop floor, and seasonal returns kept climbing.
We brought the whole floor set under one engineering spec and one AQL standard, placed each category with the right factory, and consolidated the season into a single load on a single calendar instead of four separate ones.
The chain now runs the range as one programme — one spec to repeat, one shipment to plan around, and a floor set that finally reads as a collection rather than a collection of parts. Reordering the next season is a document, not a negotiation.
The outdoor-furniture side of the space, end to end — seating, dining, loungers, shade structures and storage — plus the specification, quality control, packaging and shipping behind them. It does not cover paving, planting or lighting; we work alongside your landscape contractor for those.
A single factory gives you the categories it happens to make, at its own house standard. A programme gives you the categories the space actually needs, each from the factory that does it best — all held to one spec, one QC standard and one shipment. You get the breadth of four suppliers with the accountability of one.
That is the point of a single spec. Frame, powder colour and hardware are specified once for the whole space, so the sofa, the dining set and the pergola leave their factories in the same finish — rather than three near-misses side by side.
No. A first phase is designed to be proved on a single space. One terrace or one show-home set confirms the spec, the finish and the packaging before you scale it up — you are not asked to commit a whole programme just to test one.
We do not quote a per-piece retail MOQ. A first phase can be a single courtyard or a single building and then scaled. The annual figure on this page is a programme-level guide, not a wall for the first drop.
Yes. Non-standard dimensions, finishes and configurations are engineered and tooled to your spec, with a pre-production sample before anything is made in volume.
As much or as little as you want. One project lead runs the programme and reports at the milestones you choose — sample sign-off, batch inspection, loading. Most buyers are involved at three or four points across a whole season, not day to day.
We quote the working Incoterm for your programme — FOB, CIF or a landed arrangement — and hand off to your forwarder or arrange carriage ourselves. Delivery is planned to your calendar, whether that is one drop or a phased release across several buildings.
Sampling moves fast; production and shipping timing are confirmed per project and per season, and locked into the calendar you sign off. We quote the timeline rather than publish a single number that will not fit your order.
Powder-coated aluminium, PE rattan, teak and hardwoods, HDPE, WPC and marine-grade outdoor fabrics — specified for the climate the space actually lives in, coastal or continental.
Send us the space, the volumes and the look. We'll come back with one programme — the spec, the factories, the timeline, the QC standard and one landed container — not four quotes and a spreadsheet to reconcile.
