If your patio is exposed to high winds, it may be wise to secure any umbrellas or pieces of patio furniture that could fly away – damp cushions are one thing, but flying pieces could cause serious injury or property damage if they take flight and take flight themselves.
Teak
Teak wood makes an excellent material for outdoor furniture, offering strength and durability with minimal maintenance requirements. As this tropical hardwood contains natural oils and rubber that make it impervious to rain and weather elements – helping prevent rot, mold and creating an appealing silvery gray patina as it ages – and resisting pests, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Wood’s high density makes it an excellent surface for comfortable seating, while its low moisture content prevents warping or splintering over time. You have several options when it comes to treating and caring for wood surfaces; untreated is fine or you could use food-grade preservatives as needed to preserve its appearance; oiling periodically will also maintain the golden hue of its finish.
Lowery’s offers quality Teak patio furniture from respected brands like Kingsley Bate and Three Birds Casual, known for their superior craftsmanship and design innovation. Their products are constructed using sustainable teak harvesting to ensure future generations can also reap its benefits.
Country Casual’s teak furniture collection is popular among both residential and commercial clients alike, and you can often spot its pieces gracing courtyards and rooftop gardens of luxury apartments, hotels and commercial buildings throughout NYC. Even Grace Church dates back to 1846 – featuring their Windermere Teak benches!
Many outdoor furnishings require cushions for comfort and support, yet over time these can become stained or faded when exposed to sunlight. To combat this issue, look for fabrics with solution dyed colorants embedded within their fibers rather than printed directly on top of them; an excellent example would be Sunbrella fabric which comes in an array of beautiful colors that resist fading.
If you like the look of cushions but are worried about maintenance costs, poly furniture could be your perfect solution. Constructed from UV-resistant materials and featuring multiple styles to suit any decor in New York City, poly furniture makes for an easy clean up with just mild soap and water.
Aluminum
At first glance, purchasing patio furniture may seem like a straightforward decision; however, keep in mind that materials make an important distinction when considering which pieces would best meet your needs and style preferences. Each material can withstand differing amounts of sun, rain, salty climates, humidity and use.
Aluminum patio furniture has become the go-to material in contemporary patio settings (resin wicker furniture is often made out of aluminum frames). Aluminum is both lightweight and strong enough to withstand being exposed to elements; making it easy to rearrange and store. Powder-coated finishes offer additional moisture damage resistance as well as rust protection. Steel, however, offers greater strength with windproof qualities compared to aluminum but may rust faster due to exposure.
Wrought iron furniture has long been prized for its distinctive appearance and handcrafted details. While more susceptible to weather damage than aluminum, wrought iron can still be protected with paint or stain coatings for weather resistance.
Another option for protecting metal from corrosion is wrought iron with a zinc finish, such as zinc-coated aluminum. While zinc may be less likely to rust than its aluminum counterpart, this material tends to cost more.
Stainless steel is a dense metal that’s heavier than both wrought iron and aluminum, yet remains cost-effective due to its stability in extreme temperatures and endurance. Because unprotected metal surfaces will eventually rust over time, waterproof sealants or corrosion protection coatings must be applied regularly in order to keep bare metals looking their best.
Composite wood is a newer, water-resistant material made of recycled plastics and softwood fibers. Molds can often be created that resemble real wood grain while offering greater durability and weatherproofing protection than real wood products.
Vinyl all-weather wicker comes in many modern and classic styles, from Lloyd Flanders. Their Kennett dining and Eureka deep seating sets come with various color finishes for easy customization; while their Lloyd Loom collection boasts American cast aluminum frames with over 20 wicker selections. In addition, Patio Renaissance and Castelle also provide imported wicker for importation at reasonable prices compared to teak or other high-end furniture brands.
Wicker
If you want your patio to feel more like an extension of the family room, choosing the appropriate outdoor furniture is key. At Backyard Masters we have an assortment of stylish wicker chairs and sleek rattan sofas that can help transform it into the relaxing retreat that you always desired.
We carry both natural and synthetic wicker furniture that’s designed to withstand the elements. Additionally, we stock outdoor seating made of naturally durable materials like sea grass, bamboo, and synthetic vinyl that are built to withstand repeated use and cleaning – such as seagrass.
Wicker patio sets come in an assortment of styles and weaves – from tightly woven to intricately interlaced. There’s also an extensive palette of colors available; for a set that blends in with its surroundings, consider choosing ivory or gray hues; for something more vibrant, try darker hues that complement your backyard foliage.
Along with material choice, it’s also essential to carefully consider size and style when selecting patio chairs. Would you prefer loungers large enough for lounging around or more compact seating arrangements? Are you furnishing an entire deck or simply one area on the balcony? Answers to such questions will help determine how many pieces of wicker furniture will need to be added for maximum effect.
Once you’ve found the ideal wicker furniture to suit your space, the next step should be selecting cushions. Look for high-quality fabric that resists UV rays so it doesn’t fade after prolonged exposure to sunlight, while stain-resistant cushions may make cleanup simpler.

Stacking & Folding Chairs
Customers seeking outdoor furniture should select pieces constructed of materials that can withstand the elements and require minimal upkeep, such as powder-coated steel and aluminum, stainless steel, plastics and some plastics that won’t fade or lose their beauty over time. Others prefer furniture constructed of materials like wood such as ipe mahogany teak and brass that will gradually develop their patina over time if cared for properly; both types will last many years with proper upkeep.
Stackable and folding chairs make versatile seating solutions in multiple settings, from hosting guests to easily folding them up when not necessary. From office-style stackable chairs that stack vertically for storage to nesting folding chairs that semi-fold together horizontally to save space – there is sure to be something suitable at a great price!
When planning to use your backyard patio or deck as an extended family room, focus on finding comfortable seating that’s conducive to relaxing with a drink and good book. City dwellers might opt for an urban dining set while those residing outside may prefer loungers that help them unwind after work. At Rent-A-Center in Bath there’s sure to be the right solution!
