An outdoor furniture set can make any garden, patio, deck, or porch into an inviting retreat and offer the ideal spot for relaxation and socialization with friends or family members.
Wood furniture is an increasingly popular choice for outdoor seating, but requires significant protection against rain, harsh sunlight and other environmental conditions. Moisture-resistant woods like cypress and teak offer appealing aesthetic properties which can be stained in multiple colors to achieve this result.
1. Wicker
Wicker furniture is an increasingly popular choice for outdoor seating. Not only is it stylish and comes in various colors to match any decor scheme, it is lightweight and easy to move around when rearranging space – plus quality sets may last decades!
Wicker sets can include tables and chairs of different styles. From formal dining tables that seat six people to casual coffee tables that double as accent pieces, there’s sure to be an option that meets your needs in terms of aesthetic and function. Plus, woven material allows plenty of room for cushions – make sure these weatherproof cushions protect against moisture damage as well as UV rays!
Natural wicker offers many advantages, yet is too delicate for outdoor use. Direct sunlight and damp conditions can damage it, leading to color fade or mold growth; furthermore, its durability doesn’t compare well with materials like aluminum or wrought iron.
For an easy low-maintenance option, synthetic resin wicker may be your perfect match. More durable than natural wicker and resistant to sun fading, synthetic resin wicker sets make great eco-friendly choices that stand up over time compared to wood furniture sets. However, some manufacturers sell cheaper sets without quality materials so be careful before making your purchase decision – it pays to ask or read sales tags carefully to avoid being scammed!
If you have a large patio to furnish, wicker furniture can serve multiple functions in various sections. Pair it with metal tables and chairs in one area of the patio while adding daybeds or sofas made of wicker for another contrasting yet complementary design element. Resin or white wicker pieces may also be suitable if lighter aesthetics appeal.
2. Aluminum
Aluminum furniture makes an excellent addition to your outdoor living area, offering both style and durability. Resistant to corrosion, heat, cold and easy cleanup processes make aluminum an excellent material. Plus, its lightweight build makes moving around furniture in your yard effortless!
Aluminum is not only durable and cost-effective, but also affordable and versatile. From dining tables to lounge chairs and benches, aluminum can be found in all sorts of forms – dining sets to patio sets; backyard bars to swivel rockers that provide relaxation during hot afternoons!
Aluminum furniture can be powder-coated to add character and charm to your home, with either a metallic sheen or aged finish that adds charm. Aluminum comes in various colors that complement your decor, with some options even featuring UV-resistant paint for additional sun protection. When your outdoor furniture requires maintenance or repair, simply wipe it down with damp cloth for instant fixes!
Stainless steel furniture is another popular outdoor choice, though it may be more costly. Additionally, its susceptibility to corrosion makes it susceptible to rusting if improperly treated or maintained; to reduce corrosion risk when shopping for galvanised pieces with protective layers like galvanisation; similarly high chromium content content offers increased rust resistance than lesser materials.
3. Wrought iron
Wrought iron furniture is an increasingly popular choice for outdoor metal furniture. With its timeless classic aesthetic, its timeless appeal complements any outdoor setting – be it modern or traditional homes. Additionally, its durability and rust resistance makes it suitable for humid or coastal regions; its downside being it tends to be heavier which makes moving or rearrangement challenging.
Wrought iron furniture may become uncomfortable to sit on during prolonged sun exposure, making sitting for extended periods uninviting and uncomfortable. This issue can be addressed by covering or using cushions on the furniture pieces in question; in addition, wrought iron is not indestructible and can be damaged by extreme temperatures such as extreme heat or freezing temperatures.
As with other metals, wrought iron furniture can become subject to corrosion and rusting over time, but this damage can be reduced through regular cleaning and repairs as soon as signs of damage appear. While aluminum naturally resists rusting, wrought iron requires additional attention and care in order to keep its appearance at a minimum.
At its core, choosing between cast aluminum and wrought iron ultimately comes down to personal style preferences and budget considerations. Cast aluminum provides more design choices while wrought iron lends itself more towards classic or timeless looks.
Cast aluminum patio furniture is easier to move around than its iron counterpart, making it the superior choice when looking for versatile yet cost-effective outdoor furnishings that will hold up under weather-induced elements. We suggest aluminum as it stands the test of time!
4. Resin
Resin outdoor furniture sets offer an innovative solution, offering protection from sun rays, raindrops and the depredations of children and animals (though sharp teeth and claws may damage any material). Their synthetic fibers also resist mildew build-up in humid environments.
As it’s lightweight, resin outdoor furniture provides more versatility than other materials. Move around resin wicker chairs and tables as needed to create spaces for entertaining or cozy nooks for restful relaxation. In addition, many pieces we carry come equipped with plush cushions and upholstery options for an unrivalled experience.

5. Teak
Teak wood is a durable outdoor furniture material due to its naturally all-weather capabilities. Derived from the Tectona Grandis tree, teak contains powerful natural oils in its grains which protect it against water damage as well as act as an insecticide, repelling termites while making the wood resistant to mold, mildew, mildew, and rot – though more costly than other popular outdoor furniture materials, teak requires only minimal upkeep over its lifespan.
When choosing an outdoor teak furniture set, several key factors must be taken into account, including shape, style and modularity. Your backyard size or the available space on your balcony will dictate its layout and format; similarly how many people it comfortably seats will determine how many chairs and tables should be purchased. Finally, modular designs allow for expansion or rearrangement as needed later.
Quality teak wood is also an important consideration. Higher grade-A teak is more durable, enduring in various climates for at least 100 years with proper maintenance, while Grade-B teak can crack with age and become fragile over time. For optimal performance use a high-grade cleaner and invest in waterproof protective covers to protect the furniture.
