Make the outdoors enjoyable with patio sets tailored specifically for your backyard, offering seating and tables tailored specifically for family time or hosting parties.
As part of your new furniture purchase, ensure it is made from weather-resistant materials that can withstand climate fluctuations. To assist you in this decision-making process, we have included short blurbs on different furniture material types as well as links to our full buying guides.
Teak Dining Sets
Teak patio dining sets bring refined and classic comfort to outdoor dining spaces. Crafted with all-weather materials that stand up against rain, humidity and mildew growth for years of reliable use.
Choose a three-piece teak bistro set for your cozy patio, or opt for a larger teak table to host dinner parties and brunches. Crafted from Grade A teak wood with its smooth surface that displays natural grain patterns, and boasting UV protection that helps it withstand sunlight without succumbing to degradation, this solid and sturdy dining set from Kiln-dried materials features both table and chairs that offer stunning aesthetics and UV resistance, giving it the durability required for hosting such occasions as dinner parties and brunches.
As temperatures cool off, teak furniture becomes an inviting space for sipping coffee or sipping wine in a relaxing setting. With its slatted surface allowing easy sweeping, and draining quickly after rain showers. Plus its workshop-inspired design can comfortably seat six to eight diners while its trestle style legs providing stability and durability.
Teak wood’s natural oils render it resistant to water, bacteria and insects while its pleasant leather-like scent make it appealing to many consumers. When purchasing teak furniture, look for pieces that have been kiln-dried and hand sanded so they’re smooth to the touch – affordable pieces from younger trees or with rough, uneven appearance are likely to crack and rot rapidly; once each season, oil should be applied to keep its look smelling fresh – otherwise over time it will soften into silvery gray hue. Remember it can be cumbersome so have help when transporting it home!
Conversation Sets
Patio conversation sets can make your outdoor living spaces more versatile, unlike dining sets that are intended to serve meals alone. Instead, these sets include sofas and chairs to create cozy spots for relaxing and conversing with family and friends. If you enjoy hosting large groups, look for modular pieces that can be configured into different configurations to make hosting events simpler.
Be it watching the sunrise with coffee in hand or ending an exhausting day with cocktails and friends, a comfy outdoor conversation set provides the ideal way to connect and make memories together. Choose from an extensive variety of designs, materials and price points until you find the ideal set for you and your space.
Before shopping for your conversation set, take detailed measurements of your patio space. Failure to do this could result in buying furniture that’s either too large or small for the space; to prevent such mistakes from costing time and money, draw out a rough sketch of it before visiting stores or online retailers for your purchase.
When looking to upgrade your outdoor space, investing in a patio conversation set can be an easy and affordable solution. By selecting high-quality sets, you can rest easy knowing your furniture will withstand season after season with style. Look for sturdy materials like aluminum and wicker as well as plush seating and comfortable cushions; accessories can add charm by tying everything together; add throw pillows, rugs or fire pits if necessary to truly personalize it all!
Sofas & Sectionals
An outdoor patio sofa brings sophistication to any living room by taking it outdoors, adding a hint of sophistication that elevates its ambiance and providing guests with a relaxing spot where they can settle in for some quality downtime. However, with so many types of sofas to choose from and limited space to work with – finding an appropriate choice may prove challenging.
Before purchasing a sofa, it’s essential that you conduct thorough research. Begin by tape-out the exact shape and dimensions of your desired sofa onto the floor to ensure it will fit within your living area without interrupting traffic flow or interfering with traffic flow. Furthermore, consider how much seating capacity is desired as this will narrow down your options further.
For maximum seating in your living area, opt for a sectional. These sofas come in L- and U-shape models to make them an excellent option in larger spaces. Intimate conversations can easily occur thanks to multiple seating areas within a sectional. Unfortunately, however, their large form factor might make them unsuitable in smaller living spaces.
If you need versatile furniture pieces for multi-use rooms, daybed sectionals may be just what’s needed. Convertible sofa beds that serve as beds can make great additions for apartment dwellers or those hosting overnight guests occasionally.
No matter which outdoor sofa style you select, it is essential that it remains clean. Even with protective covers in place, outdoor furniture will still accumulate dirt and stains over time; thus it is necessary to regularly cleanse it using mild dish soap and water – at minimum twice annually for patio sofas.
Fire Pits
Fire pits make for a stunning addition to any patio or backyard, adding warmth, visual warmth, conversation starters and social interaction opportunities.
Finding the appropriate fire pit for your patio requires more than considering its size and style alone; you also must take into account your home, landscaping and climate when making this important decision. Wind can have a major effect on how fast fire burns, so ensure your chosen pit can withstand its elements in your area.
One important consideration when purchasing a fire pit is its material construction. Wicker fire pits are lightweight and all-weather; iron outdoor fire tables have classic, sturdy looks that stand up over time and require little upkeep. Some designs even include hidden tank storage to hide your propane gas container for a sleek appearance.
Consider what type of fuel your fire pit uses; some models use wood while others can use liquid propane or natural gas – pick one that meets both your personal preferences and budget needs.
Cleaning and maintaining your fire pit are essential to its safe, functional, and attractive operation. Be sure to remove all ash from the burner area regularly as this could trap heat and pose a fire hazard; for wood burners, fresh logs should be replaced frequently for best performance; you could even use any leftover ashes for fertilizing your garden or flower beds!
With a portable ethanol-burning fire pit, you can move it around your patio depending on the occasion or activity. Plus, its cover provides protection from weather as well as less cleanup afterwards!
Patio Umbrellas
An impressive patio umbrella adds value and ambience to outdoor dining areas and lanai furniture by providing shade. Selecting one for your space requires taking several essential measurements as well as researching various sizes, shapes and features available – it should provide adequate coverage without feeling oppressive in its shade.
Asses the size and type of table or seating arrangement you wish to cover with an umbrella by measuring its diameter with a tape measure, then consider how much shade is required; an umbrella that provides 2 feet of coverage per chair or sofa would usually do just fine.
When selecting canopy fabric, be sure to select something resistant to UV rays and mildew, such as Sunbrella acrylic. This solution-dyed acrylic fabric can easily be cleaned after heavy use while still looking its best. Olefin fabrics also make an economical choice with easy cleanup processes that come in a wide array of colors, stripes and patterns to complement or contrast with your lanai’s decor.
For a classic market style, wooden-framed patio umbrellas provide the ideal finishing touch. Their classic European aesthetic makes these durable umbrellas the perfect complement to decking and teak patio furniture alike.
Maintain your patio umbrellas by keeping them stored properly when not in use to prevent dirt and debris from collecting, as well as cleaning them regularly with mild soap and water to eliminate stains or marks. It’s also crucial that a sturdy umbrella base with at least 20 pounds in weight support the umbrella; larger umbrellas may require heavier bases.
