All-Weather Resin Wicker
Bad wicker furniture can leave your space looking shabby. To ensure your wicker table and chairs stay beautiful, look for all-weather resin wicker. This special resin shields your furniture from the elements and requires little maintenance. Wash collected pollen and let it air dry, and keep in a well-shaded area if you are worried about sun damage.
Sunbrella Cushion Fabrics
Nothing ruins the looks of a great patio set more than mold, mildew and spots on your cushions. Sunbrella Fabrics come in a plethora of colors, bold patterns and classic looks. Not only that, but the durability and all-weather style means you can cover sofas, loveseats and lounge chairs in Sunbrella fabric for a super cozy, indoor-outdoor feel.
Teak and Shorea Wood
There is a reason wood furniture is still around. It adds an earthy natural beauty to your outdoor patio, but if uncared for, it can rot or crack. Teak and Shorea are tropical hardwoods. Because of their high oil content and tight grains, both easily shed water making them highly resistant to rotting and bug infestation.
Concrete Slat-Top
Contemporary, maintenance free and lasts forever, slat-top concrete furniture is a great option. Many options incorporate fire pits and/or benches, tables and groupings, all can be permanently placed and serve as gathering spaces in a central space of the patio. Often mixing concrete with pine or oak slats, it’s a beautiful combination of warmth and strength.
Sling Furniture
For a more casual, lounge-y feel, consider sling furniture. Traditional singlelayer slings offer a combination of clean lines, designer fabrics and carefree maintenance. Color options are nearly endless, and the style is no muss, no fuss and created for a carefree more fast-paced lifestyle. Double-layer duplex slings include an assortment of color-coordinated cushion fabrics for the top layer for both comfort and durability.
