Durability
Weather elements and frequent use can take their toll on patio furniture, from sun, wind, rain and backyard barbecues to chipped surfaces that allow water and contaminants to seep into its core material. While the best furniture may stand up to such abuse with proper maintenance and materials – powder coating instead of paint provides stronger finish that won’t tear, chip or peel after years of use; ensure manufacturers offer different features tailored for different regions – moisture control features may require special consideration as will UV protection features.
