Outdoor Leisure Chair furniture enhances the function of your backyard, porch or patio. Benches, chairs, tables and decorative accessories are available in several durable, aesthetically pleasing materials. With all the choices out there, you might be wondering what type of material is best for outdoor furniture.

Synthetic Resin

Some people may refer to synthetic resin as “wicker” or “rattan”, but the truth is, these words are not interchangeable. Rattan is a traditional material used to make wicker furniture and the term wicker actually refers to the woven style of which the furniture is made, not the material used. Synthetic resin wicker, however, is an all-weather version that is made from resins extracted from plant materials, specifically made for outside use.

Now that we have that cleared up, synthetic resin patio furniture is low-maintenance, lightweight and durable. However, be sure to look into high density polyethylene (HDPE) and not the cheaper PVC synthetics. PVC will become brittle, crack, break apart and unravel. HDPE is a much higher-grade material with more longevity and resilience. Most synthetic resin furniture is constructed on an aluminum frame, making it lightweight yet giving it strength. This type of furniture is very popular because it is stylish, fitting in with most outdoor living spaces, available in a variety of great colors and can be furnished with any fade and water resistant cushions you desire. Synthetic resin is made to withstand all sorts of weather, but it never hurts to cover it when not in use. This will keep the elements away and your cushions in place!

Wicker

There are many benefits to wicker material, including that it is extremely lightweight. The natural materials used in wicker for outdoor furniture are environmentally friendly. However, wicker does not have waterproof coating properties resulting in the material deteriorating quickly when exposed to heavy downpours or heated temperatures.

Making sure this material has limited exposure to the elements will assist you to maximise its overall durability, although it may prove quite inconvenient. Limiting this exposure can prevent cracking of the natural materials. If you are looking for patio furniture made of wicker, then PE wicker (above) is more resilient, especially if you live in a climate that receives a lot of humidity.

If you’re after furniture that is bamboo-like, rattan (wicker) material is fast growing and sustainable. Unfortunately a drawback to using wicker furniture is its susceptibility to damage. This material may not stand up well outdoors to bad weather.

Steel

Steel brings in an element of lightness and imparts a contemporary look. This material is on the expensive side, is long-lasting, sturdy, heavy-duty and nor does it dent or scratch easily. The main drawback of steel is that it becomes very hot when exposed to the sun and very cold during winters.

Wood

Wood makes a recurring appearance in almost every balcony and patio furniture inspiration your can search online. It typically acts as a neutral base to balance out different textures and colors in the place.

Even though it’s one of the most reliable materials for outdoor use, not all have the same capacity for withstanding different kinds of weather. Out of every type of wood, teak reigns supreme above all others.

It's best known for its ability to withstand all types of weather, and I don’t exaggerate. Teak is equipped with oil and resin content. Water can’t permeate its surface, it’s safe from rot from the inside, and hard enough not to be affected or damaged by bugs.

Plastic

Plastic patio furniture is inexpensive, durable, and lightweight, making it a snap to stack or move. Plastic can be molded into a variety of shapes for unique furniture and is available in an array of colors, which will never need repainting. For an eco-friendly option, choose furniture specifically made from recycled plastic. To clean this furniture, use a mild cleaner that prevents mildew and rinse with water. Dry thoroughly before storing.
