Outdoor furniture FAQs

What are common materials for outdoor furniture?

Outdoor furniture can be made with a variety of materials. Aluminum, metal, and wrought iron are quite popular. Wood, whether it's teak or hardwood, is common, too. Wicker, eucalyptus, and bamboo are more natural-looking materials, while plastic and synthetic resin are typically considered cheaper outdoor furniture materials. Cushions are made with a variety of textiles, most of which are either stain&#;and water-resistant or water-proof. 

How long does outdoor furniture last?

Depending on the material and how well you take care of it, outdoor furniture can last up to 15 or 20 years. Aluminum, wicker, wrought iron, hardwood, and teakwood furniture can last quite a long time if you properly maintain them, such as by storing them in the winter, giving the furniture fresh paint jobs every few years, or oiling and resealing wood. It's a good idea to store cushions inside when not in use to protect them from the elements and animals. Furniture placed under a patio covering may also last longer than those exposed to the rain and sun. 

How do you store outdoor furniture in the winter? 

The best thing you can do in the winter is to bring outdoor furniture indoors, be it a garage, shed, or storage unit. We understand that not everyone has the space or even the financial capabilities to do so. (At least bring the cushions inside!) You could invest in outdoor furniture covers or tarps that fully cover the outdoor pieces. Most companies will sell covers alongside their products. If you notice snow, ice, or leaves on the coverings, remove it immediately. If you go the cover or tarp route, you may want to use water-repellant spray on the furniture, too. 

When is the best time to buy outdoor furniture? 

You will find more outdoor furniture options and new styles available at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. Shop early for the best selection, and some brands may have a longer lead time for delivery. However, if you're looking for the best outdoor furniture deals, the end of the summer is the best time to find the lowest prices as retailers make way for their fall inventory, though you could find some great deals on outdoor furniture around holidays like Memorial Day and Independence Day.
