Make your patio, deck or porch into an inviting space where friends and family can gather. A deck furniture set can make outdoor spaces even more welcoming.
Shop dining sets and lounge sets designed in traditional, modern, or contemporary styles from materials like metal, wicker, and teak for long-term durability in even harsh climates.
Durability
Comfort and style may be at the forefront of one’s mind when selecting outdoor furniture; however, durability should not be taken for granted. Without durability in place, your set could become damaged easily from daily wear-and-tear, inclement weather, spills or regular use; in such an instance, replacement will need to occur more frequently compared to high quality sets designed to last years of service.
Durability depends on a number of factors, including build quality, frame materials, climate conditions and care and maintenance practices. When purchasing deck furniture sets, look out for features such as braces that prevent legs from spreading out or walking on uneven terrain; stainless steel hardware instead of regular metal; coated frames to reduce corrosion risk; braces which keep legs from spreading out or walking and coated frames which protect against rust; braces made of sturdy aluminum or wood materials for the chairs and tables – these should all help increase durability over time.
If you want your outdoor furniture to last for years, invest in quality sets constructed using durable fabrics like Sunbrella or Tempotest. These fabrics have been engineered to withstand UV rays, fade resistance and water damage as well as tight woven fibers saturated with color-stabilized pigments to ensure it does not fade or discolor over time.
Teak patio furniture sets are an excellent investment that will stand the test of time, being both resistant to weather elements and maintenance-free, lasting up to 75+ years! When shopping for teak furniture, choose from reputable manufacturers with pieces treated with waterproofing stain or sealants that extend its performance and life expectancy.
Maintenance
Once you invest in high-quality furniture, it is important to maintain it on an ongoing basis in order to prolong its life and keep its appearance. A regular maintenance schedule can save time and headaches in the future by keeping up with spills and messes; wiping down frames; wiping down dust or grime off furniture pieces; as well as inspecting for signs of damage or rust.
Cleaning deck furniture is easier than you think when you have the necessary supplies on hand. Mild soap and water work well when it comes to fabric patio chairs, tables or lounges; for more stubborn stains try mixing baking soda with lemon juice or vinegar for better results; this method can remove grease, oil and other sticky stains from patio sets.
Preventative measures such as purchasing durable covers to shield outdoor furniture during inclement weather and storing it away when not being used include buying covers with UV-blocking properties to shield it from direct sunlight, which could fade the colors on cushions and splinter the wood surfaces. A cover also offers UV protection that may fade the color from cushions or discolor wood pieces over time.
To protect the deck surface from scratches caused by furniture pieces on it, try selecting pieces with wide or flat legs and choose plastic, epoxy, rubber or silicone casters or feet as these will prevent damaging the surface or scratching up your furniture. It is also a good idea to trim your pets’ claws regularly to help minimize scratching or knocking over of furniture pieces.
