By selecting quality pieces with appropriate material options, they should remain usable even during heavy downpours or severe storms.
Aluminum and wrought iron are two of the most weatherproof metals, standing up well against UV radiation without degrading, fading or becoming discolored over time.
Wood-based furniture can also be weatherproof, particularly if crafted from teak, acacia, or eucalyptus. To ensure responsible sourcing and harvesting practices are followed when harvesting this wood material. When purchasing furniture made of these species it’s essential that it comes with FSC certification on the label to verify this claim.

This means you won’t need to spend both time and money repainting or restaining it annually to maintain its original color – plus there’s a wide range of styles available so you’re sure to find something suitable for both your landscape design and home’s decor.
Another factor when purchasing outdoor plastic furniture is material and construction quality. A high-quality piece is an investment that will last for many years, so make sure it features sturdy frames with quality fabrics to withstand weather.

With numerous attractive styles to choose from, resin furniture makes a sustainable option.

Aerin Lauder designed her AERIN East Hampton outdoor sofa to combine natural wicker with aluminum for an elegant yet lightweight design. Completing the look are stylish indoor/outdoor rugs such as the Patio Stripe available in several colors.
Metal furniture can also withstand weather elements. The Bridgehampton collection from aluminum features sectionals, sofas and tables with powder-coated finishes that resist both water and UV rays.

Another alternative might be synthetic furniture like woven rattan which has an elegant appearance without needing as much upkeep as natural rattan does.
Wicker made of HDPE is also highly durable. More so than standard plastic, HDPE resists fading, rust, mildew, discoloration from sunlight exposure and discoloration over time. UV protectants help further guard its color against discoloring under direct sunlight.
