Teak
Teak wood is one of the finest options for outdoor furniture due to its all-weather capabilities and naturally produced oils that protect it against drying out or becoming rotten, even under harsh weather conditions. Additionally, teak resists mold growth as well as mildew growth making it an excellent choice when looking for durable and beautiful patio furniture – from classic Adirondack chairs and rockers to modern dining tables and chairs, teak patio furniture can meet every style requirement!
Teak wood will naturally patina to a silvery gray hue when left alone, creating an eye-catching aesthetic with minimal maintenance needed. However, to maintain its original color it can also be treated with water repellent or stain. Teak’s protective oils help it resist rain, sleet, snow, and ice as well as repel pests such as termites and marine borers.
Teak patio furniture’s most ubiquitous piece is the teak sofa set. Madbury Road provides several sets that are modular in nature and can easily accommodate additional seating pieces such as chairs, side tables, coffee tables and ottomans. Their Bali teak furniture collection boasts comfortable yet stylish teak sofas that pair perfectly with matching outdoor teak chairs or other seating pieces for added seating options.
Teak tables are another highly coveted selection of patio furniture. Available in various sizes and shapes to meet any dining space’s needs, teak tables are durable enough to withstand even heavy use while remaining elegant enough for dining and entertaining alike. Plus they look beautiful when topped with elegant table cloths!

Rust and corrosion are virtually nonexistent when exposed to extreme temperatures or weather conditions; making this an excellent option for people living in areas with high winds or frequent precipitation.

Wrought iron furniture is known for being strong and sturdy, yet heavy to move or store. If you prefer lighter weight furniture like aluminum instead of wrought iron for outdoor furniture purposes, look for pieces with aluminum core wrought iron frames – otherwise the frame could rust away completely and crack or warp over time. 1stDibs offers vintage outdoor pieces made with other materials including cast iron, rattan and resin as well.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel patio furniture is a premium-priced choice that’s highly resistant to corrosion. Additionally, its material strength makes it much better able to withstand wear-and-tear than other metal options like wrought iron. However, stainless steel may require more regular maintenance compared with other metals; such as wiping down surfaces regularly to prevent fingerprints and rust build-up; applying protective coating can help minimize color fade due to sunlight UV rays; etc.
Metal patio furniture’s beauty lies in its versatility: it can look like wood or stone while offering all of their durability, according to patio designer John Keahey. Additionally, you can craft it to complement the architectural style of your home and add comfort by using cushions or pillows in order to soften its appearance and increase outdoor living space.
When considering metal patio furniture, there are various materials from which you can select: wrought iron, aluminum and stainless steel are among the choices available to you; with wrought iron being the most costly but offering both durability and classic aesthetic.
Aluminum makes an excellent choice in most environments because it doesn’t rust and can be treated to reduce corrosion further. Aluminum tends to be slightly cheaper than wrought iron and lighter weight make it easy for moving around your yard.
Steel is less prone to corrosion than aluminum, with an added strength advantage. When shopping for metal patio furniture, Mayhew advises purchasing galvanized or powder-coated steel as these finishes contain a protective barrier which makes them more weather-proof.
For natural aesthetic, consider selecting patio furniture made of cypress or redwood, while IPE (Brazilian walnut) is an extremely dense tropical hardwood resistant to rot and decay, though more costly than teak; over time it develops a rich patina while standing up well against insects, water damage and sun UV rays. Pressure-treated pine is often an economical solution.
Weather Resistant Materials
Patio furniture can quickly become damaged from moisture, mildew and rust. To keep it looking its best for longer in New Jersey, it is wise to select weather resistant materials when shopping for patio furniture. Teak is one of the top choices due to its natural protective oils which resist water. Furthermore, teak requires very minimal care – simply leave it natural weather its course or apply basic wood sealant as needed to keep its appearance and protect its longevity.

Most metal outdoor furniture is typically constructed of either aluminum or wrought iron, as these materials provide both corrosion-resistance and lightweight design features. Aluminum can withstand moisture while remaining lightweight; while its ornate qualities make wrought iron more suitable in wet climates.
