When purchasing wicker patio furniture, always check that its inner frame is made from aluminum instead of steel (which will rust). Furthermore, look for synthetic fibers with lots of texture and natural variations rather than uniform smooth strands that lack texture.
Resin Wicker
Resin wicker furniture is handwoven over aluminum frames to form an inviting outdoor set that you can enjoy all year round. Made from durable and cost-effective resin wicker, it makes an excellent addition to any patio space and comes in both traditional and modern styles, providing homeowners with plenty of seating and table options such as sofas, dining sets and daybeds to choose from.
Resin furniture is produced by melting organic materials and forcing them into permanent hardening in a vacuum, creating durable and waterproof resin wicker furniture that resists sun damage compared to organic wicker furniture. Furthermore, resin wicker furniture is easier to keep clean compared to organic versions; any dirt or dust found on it should simply be wiped off with damp cloth before mild soap may also help.
Synthetic wicker’s primary advantage lies in its color palette. Many wicker patio furniture sets come in neutral tones such as white, brown, and grey so you can easily match them to existing patio decor. Some manufacturers even provide full spectrum vibrant hues allowing you to create your ideal outdoor retreat.
When purchasing wicker patio furniture sets, take into account both your space and personal style when selecting one. Options range from compact bistro sets to larger sectionals that seat six or more people – so take some measurements of your patio or deck before purchasing any furniture – in order to be certain it fits comfortably and without taking up too much room. It may also be beneficial to buy something slightly larger than what will fit, which allows more free movement between pieces of wicker. A four-piece sectional may suffice if entertaining is only occasional; consider getting smaller bistro sets if entertaining more regularly.
Natural Wicker
Wicker furniture can be constructed using various materials, from plant matter like rattan and willow to bamboo and thinner reeds – typically, it was only made using organic fibers such as willow. Now synthetic fibers such as polyester can also be used to simulate its look; this new style known as all-weather wicker has become increasingly popular due to being more durable than natural wicker pieces due to being exposed to extreme sun and rain without becoming dry and brittle over time.
All-weather wicker has many advantages over its organic counterparts, as it does not require moisture- and weather-resistant coating to remain weatherproof and be easily maintained. This makes cleaning and maintaining all-weather wicker much simpler and lower maintenance; plus its more cost effective since you do not require as much upkeep with this form of furniture. Additionally, this type of wicker requires far less upkeep as organic varieties.
Outer offers an impressive collection of all-weather wicker furniture suitable for every style imaginable – dining tables, U sectionals and 7 person seating arrangements, to name just two options. No matter your aesthetic preferences, Outer has something perfect to add elegance and comfort to your backyard oasis.
With proper care and maintenance, wicker patio sets can last 30 years or more depending on their quality of weave and fabric used. As long as it remains out of direct sunlight and away from water sources, your wicker furniture should continue looking beautiful over the decades ahead. Alternatively, investing in woven rattan sofa sets might provide more comfortable places for relaxing outdoors.
Aluminum Frames
Frames of wicker patio furniture are critical components to its long-term durability and longevity. To achieve this goal, they should be sturdy and well-constructed so as to support the weight of the furniture without bowing under stress or breaking under strain; additionally they should be resistant to corrosion, have an aesthetically pleasing finish, and don’t rust – aluminum frames make an excellent choice as they won’t rust and have an attractive aesthetic while being lightweight for easy rearranging when necessary.
Your furniture’s outer layer of wicker will come in various colors, shapes, and sizes to complement the decor of your backyard space. Choose from sets consisting of chairs or sofas/loveseats/loveseats only or opt for sectionals to create an inviting lounge area. Natural and painted finishes of wicker finish options may also be available to you; for maximum longevity aim towards neutral palette colors.
Quality wicker furniture sets will feature an aluminum frame coated in powder to prevent rust and provide aesthetic appeal, with its interior made up of either weather-resistant resin or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) wicker – though HDPE offers numerous advantages over traditional wicker, such as long lifecycle and fade resistance.
Low-quality synthetic wicker furniture tends to be inexpensive, which means it will degrade rapidly. Look for tightly woven strands without gaps between them and fade-resistant synthetic fibers in its construction. Higher-grade wicker can last much longer while still looking beautiful after years of use compared with lower quality versions.
