Since our last blog post focused on general tips to consider when purchasing your new outdoor furniture set, you may be ready to shop with a focused mind. Once you have your dimensions figured out, and you have an idea of what you want, it’s time to think about what materials are best. Although many of us have limited budgets right now, you don’t have to limit your choices.

There are many options out there, from wood to metal to wicker, and it can be a lot to think about when making a big investment. Here we guide you through highlights several materials to choose from so you can make a purchase that you, and your wallet, are happy with for many years to come.

Teak Wood
Well-known for its durability, teak wood is a strong and appealing selection for practical outdoor patio furniture. It is a dense hardwood from Southeast Asia that naturally repels water and resists sun damage, so it can remain outdoors through any climate. After a brief weathering period, it will continue to sustain durability through every season with a smooth finish. Teak wood is a higher-end material for outdoor furniture, and considered one of the best.

Wicker
Wicker is constructed with flexible twigs and branches and made into intricately appealing designs. It is a more traditional look for outdoor furniture, but has come a long way in design and style, along with durability. Today’s outdoor wicker materials now include plastic and resin for higher durability than indoor wicker pieces of the past. These can remain on that patio for years to come, rain, snow or sunshine. Wicker often comes in different colors and is now being designed into sleek and contemporary styles.

Aluminum
Metals have been used to design patio furniture for ages, and now come in a variety of styles to match almost any preference. Whether you want an intricate design or contemporary angles, it will come in a durable aluminum construction. It is preferred for its long-lasting resistance to corrosion, and easy-to-clean surface. Aluminum furniture can also be powder-coated for a finish that protects it from scratches. Aluminum outdoor furniture tends to be less expensive, but still as durable and long-lasting as teak and wicker.

All things considered, you’re probably read to shop. We are happy to offer a wide-range of styles in teak wood, wicker and aluminum designs at discounted prices.
