Be it for relaxing with a book and tropical cocktail or gathering for weeknight dinner with family, having durable outdoor furnishings like teak chairs, ottomans, and chaise lounges makes every outdoor activity more enjoyable. Discover durable patio furnishings like teak chairs, ottomans and chaise lounges that enhance your backyard aesthetics.
Not all wood patio furniture is constructed the same. Learn about the various grades of teak wood, their durability, strength, and appearance impacts on durability, strength and aesthetic appeal.
Chairs
No matter whether you’re lounging poolside or grilling on the back deck, patio chairs provide comfort and elegance to make your backyard an inviting escape. Choose between high-back teak chairs with natural armrests that conform to the body or sleek modern dining chairs made of weatherproof polywood for easy cleanup and weather resistance.
Lounge chairs and ottomans allow you to unwind with an easygoing style, whether that means poolside relaxation with a cool drink like lemonade or summery tiki cocktails, or lounging poolside with an afternoon nap after work. Add ergonomic support in the form of 15deg recline rocking chairs; alternatively consider an outdoor pouf which acts as a seat, footstool and side table!
Teak chair construction is well-regarded for its strength and long-term weather resistance; however, you will want to ensure it was acquired ethically. When looking for grade A teak furniture for purchase, look for Grade A grades that offer maximum appearance and weather resistance; additionally look for an authentication certificate as proof of quality and origin of this new purchase.
Your initial temptation may be to save some cash by selecting grade B teak as outdoor seating, but beware – this lower grade wood comes from outer parts of trees without natural oils that give superior teak its weatherproof qualities, leading to lighter colorations and more frequent signs of damage than its superior counterpart.
Budget-minded patio set shoppers have another budget-friendly teak patio set option available to them: plastic lumber furniture that resembles its premium counterparts but without the costs. Instead of genuine teak, this furniture is crafted out of HDPE plastic lumber which withstands elements and stains as well as mildew, mildew, mold growth. As it requires no periodic refinishing for sustainability purposes and cannot attract insects or wildlife pests it also makes a more sustainable option than wood patio sets. Choosing one with a manufacturer warranty provides extra peace of mind about its longevity and durability when selecting furniture!
Ottomans
Ottomans and footstools are essential additions to patio furniture, whether used at the end of an outdoor sectional to rest feet or as extra seating at a coffee table. Crafted of leather or velvet and available in various shapes and colors to meet different requirements for comfort, these versatile chairs and benches serve multiple purposes like footrests, coffee tables, guest seating arrangements or place to store belongings – as well as adding color to living spaces while matching many types of home decor styles.
Ottomans are multipurpose pieces, offering comfort, style and functionality in one eye-catching design. Upholstered with microfiber, faux suede or genuine leather fabrics and featuring round or rectangular styles – some even feature built-in storage compartments to store books, magazines and throw blankets out of sight but easily within reach – Ottomans make for excellent multitaskers!
An ottoman is a padded, upholstered seat or bench without arms or back that was first brought to Europe from Turkey during Ottoman rule in late 18th century Europe. These ottomans traditionally were covered in cushions and served as domestic seating, although eventually evolved into something smaller that became an accent piece instead.
Now, multi-purpose chairs such as ottomans can be found in virtually all styles of homes and can be made out of various materials ranging from wicker to rattan, leather and microfiber – you are sure to find an ottoman that complements the decor in your space! Most ottomans require minimal upkeep, usually only needing mild detergent and warm water when cleaning is required.
These furniture pieces can also be found crafted from high-quality material to ensure their durability and longevity. Some patio ottomans are constructed using weather-resistant material while others have been treated to resist stains and mold growth. When searching for high-quality products and customer service warranties it’s a good way of making sure you are receiving top-of-the-line service and products.
As part of selecting an ottoman that will enhance your space, take into account size, shape and color as well as features like casters and lift mechanisms. Depending on how you plan on using your ottoman, select one with few parts that requires few tools for assembly and clear instructions for an effortless experience.
Chaise Lounges
The chaise lounge is an iconic piece of furniture created to provide comfort and relaxation. This one-person seat sits closer to the ground than traditional outdoor chairs, making it perfect for reading and sunbathing spaces. Available in different designs ranging from modern to traditional styles, this timeless classic makes an excellent addition to any space.
For a contemporary aesthetic, opt for a minimal chaise upholstered in neutral fabrics such as grey or cream to complete a modern living room. When accessorizing with accessories like an accent rug and poufs in neutral hues, create a stylish yet functional lounge space. Or make a statement with one in bolder hues such as teal or mustard that make a bold statement; choose more classic designs with cabriole legs and Victorian-style armrest for something truly striking!
Chaise lounges provide the ideal spot for relaxation by the pool or patio, but they can also add a touch of elegance in a formal living room. Look for one made from weatherproof materials like genuine teak or aluminum; certain models even feature waterproof fabric that protects it against rainwater, pool water and suntan oil stains.
Find chaise lounges with integrated footrests to provide maximum comfort, or wheels so you can move it easily around your garden or backyard – ideal options for those with limited mobility.
If you want something that is more durable than softwood, look for models featuring all-weather polypropylene resin or aluminum frames. These materials can withstand UV radiation, chlorine, saltwater and suntan oil exposure without suffering damage. Another durable option would be high-quality wicker chaises; these durable pieces come in an assortment of colors while being easy to maintain and clean up after. A woven chaise will bring texture and color into any patio while withstanding many types of weather conditions.
