1. Teak
Teak garden patio furniture adds an air of elegance and luxury to any outdoor living space. Made of eco-friendly wood that doesn’t require harsh chemicals to maintain, teak is an excellent way to promote sustainability in outdoor living spaces.
While other wood and garden patio furniture can quickly become damaged by harsh weather conditions, teak is naturally resistant to rot, warping and shrinkage as well as having anti-fungal properties which help prevent mildew growth and mold growth – making teak wood garden patio furniture an excellent investment for those who enjoy spending time outside.
When selecting teak garden patio furniture, it’s essential that you opt for high-quality pieces. Look for pieces built using mortise and tenon joinery – these strong joints make for better furniture construction compared to nails, cracks, or separation between joints; any such signs indicate poor workmanship.
Color and texture should also be key factors when it comes to selecting teak furniture. When new, teak will have a honey-brown hue due to natural oils in its wood. Left alone to age naturally, however, teak may eventually change to an elegant silver gray finish which can easily be restored through light sanding and polishing.
Cleaning teak garden patio furniture properly requires using a mild detergent, as this will remove any oil, chemical, or food spills that might stain its surface. Also important is cleaning up spills immediately so as to avoid permanent staining on wood surfaces.
2. Synthetic Resin
Resin wicker furniture has long been a favourite choice of garden patio furniture due to its versatile style and design, as well as being extremely easy to maintain with regular rinsing with water from a garden hose or other sprayer. When shopping for resin wicker pieces however, care must be taken as some low-quality brands may lead to brittleness or discoloration from exposure to UV rays from sunlight.
High-quality synthetic wicker is manufactured on an aluminum frame using polyethylene, an extremely resilient and weather-resistant material. Woven into strands to mimic natural rattan and bamboo textures, it comes in many colors to complement existing outdoor decor schemes and can even be cleaned using water or mild detergents – the best quality resin wicker can even be completely waterproof for easy care!
The main advantage of plastic furniture is its longevity compared to other materials like metal and wood, such as rattan furniture. Furthermore, its resistance to weather extremes such as rain, sun, and cold temperatures as well as damage from insects or pests make it highly recommended as a choice of furniture material.
Attracting customers, this type of furniture offers not only durability and lightweight comfort but is also environmentally-friendly, without using harmful chemicals for production. As an ideal option for those with limited mobility looking for outdoor relaxation without uncomfortable or bulky pieces.
3. Aluminum
Luxury aluminium garden furniture offers a stylish way to bring sophistication into their patio or garden space. While wrought iron may give off an antique or industrial vibe, aluminum has a more sleek and contemporary aesthetic that suits most styles of decor.
Aluminum’s malleability makes it ideal for creating pieces with various shapes and curves, as it is highly resistant to corrosion, which occurs when metal comes into contact with oxygen in the air and interacts with it directly. Signs of corrosion include loss of shine on furniture’s surface or an oxide film forming over it; to best protect your aluminum furniture against rust buy high-quality powder coated pieces which provide a protective layer which is both water, stain, and scratch-proof.
Aluminum offers several benefits over other materials like wrought iron or teak, including its cost-effectiveness. This makes aluminum an excellent option for homeowners on a tight budget looking for beautiful patio furniture with high quality features.
Though aluminum furniture is strong and sturdy, it can still be made more comfortable by adding cushions or pillows. As well as providing additional comfort, cushions add color and personality to any outdoor space or blend seamlessly into neutral-tone frames. Furthermore, soft textures around hard surfaces help soften its look and take attention away from perceived coldness; for a subtler aesthetic opt for white or metallic-colored sets which match existing decors.
4. Steel
Steel is an extremely resilient material that can withstand all weather conditions. This makes it the ideal material for garden patio furniture, particularly when treated with corrosion-resistant finishes such as acrylic enamel paints or powder coating. Such finishes add a protective barrier between oxygen reaching the metal and its subsequent discoloration or rusting.
Stainless steel and galvanized aluminum patio furniture offers another durable solution, as these metals can resist cold temperatures, humidity, harsh sunlight and high winds without becoming rusted over time. However, these alternatives tend to be more costly than wrought iron options.
Wrought iron furniture is an increasingly popular choice for garden patio furniture due to its combination of durability, strength, and timeless style. Craftsmen sculpt this sturdy metal through forging and welding techniques; then add decorative features such as scrolling patterns.
Wrought iron requires more maintenance than other metals, including regular repainting and repairs as needed. Furthermore, its weight poses difficulties when rearrangeing an outdoor space or storing away furniture at the end of each season.
Aluminium garden furniture is more versatile and less costly than its wrought iron counterpart, as well as being lightweight enough to withstand heat, humidity, salty water conditions as well as being susceptible to oxidation due to bonding of aluminium with oxygen molecules – this deterioration may be reduced with an anti-corrosive coating applied directly on its surface. Aluminum also weighs less than steel making it easier for those who prefer mobile backyard designs to move it around easily.
5. Wood
Wood has long been the go-to material for garden patio furniture, thanks to its elegant appearance and versatility in pairing well with other materials like wicker or metal. Wood’s natural hardiness means it resists rot, moisture, insects, parasites and mold growth while being easy to shape into various designs – something premade furniture cannot do! For those without advanced woodworking skills home made pieces may also be available or these skills can even be learned for easy home construction!
Teak (Tectona Grandis) wood is one of the most commonly used materials for outdoor furniture, featuring its light honey-brown hue and distinctive silver patina over time. As this dense species can withstand harsh weather conditions without cracking, teak garden furniture has long been prized as one of the ultimate choices. Other garden furniture materials used include acacia, eucalyptus and pine which can all be stained or painted to complement other decor or finishes and usually act as moisture and insect repellents as well.
Wrought iron patio furniture offers both durability and beauty for outdoor patio dining spaces. Its timeless charm has long made it a perennial favorite, especially in areas with strong winds. Craftsmen create it by heating it to a malleable state then shaping it with tools. Being heavy yet sturdy material it resists strong winds as well as being used to craft tables and chairs that last. While some maintenance is required to keep its pristine finish looking its best.
