Who doesn’t love the idea of outdoor living? With a gentle breeze, the delicious scent of flowers and beautiful wildlife to admire, it is no wonder most people feel the need to create a comfortable outdoor space. The easiest way to do this is to purchase some outdoor furniture.

Outdoor patio furniture comes in a variety of styles and materials. One popular option is Teak outdoor furniture, which is a durable, straight-grained wood that looks much like the color of walnut. It is very strong, with an 8.6 rating on the hardness scale. Since it is quite high in natural oils, it stands up to weathering better than most other types of wood. The wood that we offer is Pacific Teak, which comes from the South Pacific. It is environmentally friendly and is harvested from protected forests, so you can rest easy that you are buying a product that is safe for the earth and also beautiful! Teak patio furniture comes in a variety of table sizes, from fifty-nine inches long to eighty-seven and a half inches. You can purchase teak outdoor furniture with round or square tables and a variety of chairs. Also, if you are just looking for an accent, there are benches and lounge chairs available.

Wicker outdoor furniture is a classic option. Although this material has been popular for a century or more, you don’t have to buy pieces that look antique. There are gorgeous wicker patio furniture options such as semi-circular outdoor sectional couches, romantic loveseats and cozy ottomans. Many wicker models feature an aluminum frame underneath the wicker, which allows for added durability. Some even feature UV ray inhibitors, which keep your outdoor furniture protected from the sun.

Of course, there is always metal patio furniture, as well. The appeal of metal is obvious—not only is it among the most durable materials, but it also can look very modern and sleek in many ways. We carry a variety of metal outdoor furniture, including loungers, informal seating and dining sets. While some aluminum sets are more decorative with curled scroll arms, others have handcrafted artistic flourishes, and we also carry those with clean, simple lines.

Whatever your outdoor patio furniture needs are, we know you’ll find what you’re looking for!

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.
