Nebraska Furniture Mart offers a selection of patio furniture parts and accessories that will allow you to build an outdoor living space that withstands the elements.
Protective furniture weights offer increased protection for outdoor furniture during sudden summer storms, helping prevent tables, chairs and sunshades from blowing away. Furthermore, synthetic resin furniture may benefit from additional security with weighted bases securing its parts.
Protective Furniture Weights
Protective furniture weights are one of the most sought-after accessories for patio furniture, attaching securely to corner legs of chairs, tables or umbrellas to keep them stable against strong summer winds and allow for cleaning, maintenance and other tasks without moving them around. By keeping it secured with protective weights in stormy weather they save both time and money in the long run.
Weighted chairs can be useful both with plastic and other lightweight materials as well as wooden ones like teak. Since wood has natural heft that helps it withstand wind gusts better, wooden seats may stand up better against them than their lighter counterparts; but even sturdy seating may still be affected by strong gusts of wind.
Make sure your chairs don’t move around while you relax in the sun or enjoy dinner with friends by placing weights on their legs. Stacking light chairs against walls or corner spaces is another effective strategy – the more pieces stacked, the heavier their collective weight becomes and will ensure they remain put.
Some people attempt to secure their patio furniture to the ground with stakes, but these can easily slip out during a rainstorm and leave your furniture vulnerable. Another alternative is Museum Putty which features a sticky surface that adheres to surfaces like concrete and flagstone, making it simple and quick for you to press chair legs into it for secure mounting of chairs or umbrella bases.
Water-resistant protective patio furniture covers are an easy and cost-effective way to safeguard outdoor furniture against rain, making it the ideal solution. They come individually or as part of a set that includes durable chairs and tables; simply slip one over each item for long-term enjoyment of outdoor spaces! They’re easy to install too – prolonging enjoyment beyond what would happen with unprotected furniture in rain.
Cushions & Covers
Making memories in your outdoor living space can be one of the best experiences ever, so make sure your patio furniture parts and accessories are prepared to enhance this time-honored tradition by maintaining cushions, pillows, umbrellas, etc. in mint condition.
Outdoor cushion covers not only protect but also add style to outdoor seating arrangements. Most models feature ties that secure them to seats or chair backs to prevent blow-away on windy days, with various colors and patterns to match any patio decor, or neutral colors which let you express your individuality through individual styles.
If you plan on leaving your furniture outside year-round, invest in some high-quality outdoor cushion covers. There are various sources for purchasing them; specialty sites may specialize in custom-fitted covers. When shopping for covers, look for ones that fit snuggly over cushions without closing off air circulation underneath – air circulation helps prevent mildew. In addition, water and sun repellant materials help protect fabrics against raindrops, snowfall and UV rays.
As well as protecting your cushions, it’s a smart idea to keep them clean regularly. Simply remove their covers, wash them on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, air dry them before replacing them and return them. Ideally this should happen at least once every season–ideally right before winter storage begins or in spring at its start.

Umbrellas & Shades
An umbrella patio allows you to bask in the sunshine without suffering from painful sunburns with ease, shielding your seating area, dining table and more from harmful UV rays that can pose health hazards.

Durable fade- and mildew-resistant fabrics provide long lifespan and stylish appearance; many models even come equipped with tilt and crank lever functions so they can easily reposition themselves throughout the day!
Your selection of an outdoor umbrella depends on many factors, including how much shade coverage is necessary. If you entertain frequently, a large patio umbrella with plenty of dining and conversation areas might be best; otherwise, smaller umbrellas make more sense in smaller spaces, ideal for shading tables and lounge chairs – some even come equipped with bases to provide stability during windy conditions!
Add an eye-catching flair to your outdoor decor with a cantilever patio umbrella! Perfect for hot tubs and pool areas, this style features an offset mast that provides extra sun shade without interfering with activities under it.

Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting can enhance the ambiance and beauty of any backyard or patio space, making it more enjoyable for entertaining or relaxing. From welcoming front porch sconces that greet guests to path lights that illuminate walkways and patios – there are various ways you can add light to your outdoor spaces.
Your choice of lighting depends entirely upon the goals you have for a space. Lighting fixtures allow you to achieve various visual effects by positioning them strategically – silhouettes, shadowing, uplighting and wall washing are just a few examples – plus choose from an assortment of styles that complement your design scheme.
Sea Gull Eddington outdoor fixtures blend traditional and country styles while remaining modern; their hanging pendant is UL listed for damp locations, making it suitable for multiple design decors. Meanwhile, Troy Beckham outdoor wall sconces offer two classic-modern finish options, making them great choices to use either in an entryway or as accent lighting throughout a yard.
Landscape lighting can be subtle or dramatic, with fixtures placed discreetly throughout your yard in order to illuminate plants or highlight areas such as decks, stairs and built-in seating. Spotlights are great for illuminating trees or other features in your garden while path lighting helps ensure people remain safe along pathways.
Outdoor lighting options abound in our selection, and it can be difficult to make an informed decision when shopping online. Cast aluminum fixtures offer optimal corrosion and rust protection while solid brass and wrought iron materials may also make great fixtures – though there are other choices too that don’t rely on these materials exclusively.
When selecting outdoor lighting, it is essential that you keep in mind the safety of both you and your loved ones. Make sure all light fixtures are anchored firmly so they won’t get knocked over easily or fall over unexpectedly; additionally, be sure to position the lights so they won’t shine directly into anyone’s eyes or cause glare.
