When shopping for HD patio furniture, you must carefully consider material, style and durability. While certain materials require little upkeep for frequent use, others require more care to keep looking their best year after year. This wicker set has earned over 12,000 excellent reviews from users and features three chairs and an ottoman which can be configured into various configurations.
Material
Material choice plays an essential part in the aesthetic and functional longevity of patio furniture. Different materials require different levels of care and maintenance, so selecting one that best meets your lifestyle and needs is crucial.
Selecting an eco-friendly material is also key for environmental sustainability. Certain materials, like metals, rust when exposed to moisture or water. Woven plastics or natural wood may become warped over time and crack over time.
HDPE outdoor poly furniture is composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic lumber sourced 99% from recycled milk jugs and detergent bottles, making this eco-friendly material virtually zero wood or natural fiber content while remaining UV protected so its color won’t fade over time.
Durability
Durability in patio furniture depends a great deal on its materials and construction design, as well as on how well it’s cared for over time. Sun, rain, wind and backyard parties can take their toll, leading to worn, chipped or cracked pieces over time.
Enhancing aesthetic and functional durability requires using protective coatings that ward off weathering, damage and other forms of degradation. Lacquer and polyurethane finishes can protect wood against rotting while simultaneously blocking water, but require regular applications to remain effective at blocking water from seeping through. Epoxy is even more resilient but its finicky application process takes more time consuming which may cause yellowing over time.
Consider how easily the furniture can be disassembled for cleaning or repairs, including how easy it will be to reassemble after being dismantled for repairs or maintenance. Pieces pre-assembled or with instructions will make assembly simpler when returning it back into service, as will factory welded pieces which require home assembly compared with those assembled separately in your own home.
