Size
Finding a patio dining set that fits perfectly within your space can make life much simpler, so selecting the ideal size and use is essential when purchasing outdoor furniture. Consider what purpose the table will serve before narrowing your options down further – for instance if you intend to use it at parties and events with multiple guests present, swivel chairs may provide greater mobility as you can move them in and out as needed.
Patio tables come in an assortment of shapes and sizes to meet any need, with bistro sets being particularly suitable for smaller patios or balconies, featuring tables just large enough for two diners. If you prefer traditional dining sets instead, rectangular tables work best in most spaces.
Your outdoor dining chairs should also reflect your desired height preferences; standard, bar, and counter are all options to consider. Furthermore, chairs with swivel bases or non-swivel bases take up less room as swivel chairs do not require being moved back and forth for seating and standing purposes – so choose carefully!
Material selection for patio dining furniture should also be an important consideration. Synthetic materials like wicker and rattan are popular due to their durability and stylish designs; natural wood offers more rustic charm. Whatever material you select for your backyard oasis, make sure it can withstand weatherproof table and chairs!
Once you’ve determined the ideal size for your patio dining furniture, the next step should be shopping for it. There are 3pc, 4pc and 5pc dining sets available so that you can find something suitable. Don’t forget about accent pieces such as patio rugs, pillows and lighting to complete your outdoor dining room experience!
Material
While size and style of dining patio furniture is certainly important, you also should think about its composition – from its type of material to the climate it will face – when making a selection. Outdoor furnishings must withstand rain as well as hot and cold temperatures – the specific requirements may differ for different materials; additionally, regional conditions can dictate whether or not your furniture stands up over time.
Outdoor furniture can be constructed out of various types of material, including wrought iron, stainless steel and aluminum. Each material offers its own set of advantages and disadvantages; for instance wrought iron patio furniture may be heavy when sitting during hot temperatures and can quickly rust if wet – beware if purchasing it to prevent this rusting process! When purchasing any wrought iron furniture it should also be properly treated and maintained to prevent future rusting issues.
Metal patio chairs and tables are popular due to their durability. But, depending on its exposure to rain or sea air, you may need to paint it regularly in order to keep its appearance. Aluminum may not rust as easily than its wrought iron counterpart but still corrodes over time; additionally it’s not ideal in hotter climates as sweaty seating conditions may render aluminum uncomfortable for sitting upon.
Wood furniture can also be an attractive and durable choice for outdoor seating. While many types of wood may work for this application, Teak stands out due to its exceptional resistance against rot and treatment that helps it weather harsh conditions. When selecting wooden pieces for your patio furniture, look for those which have been kiln-dried for optimal strength and moisture resistance.
Plastic, rattan and all-weather wicker are also popular choices for outdoor furniture. Polypropylene and PVC plastics come in an assortment of colors that mimic natural materials, like rattan. Resin wicker also makes for durable waterproof outdoor seating solutions.
Style
Patio dining chairs come in an assortment of styles and materials. Metals such as aluminum, wrought iron and stainless steel are popular because they’re durable and weather resistant; often supplemented with cushions or covers to protect guests’ skin from hot or cold metal surfaces. Wood is another natural material ideal for outdoor furniture that stands up well against elements. Though more costly, wood has proven long-term resilience against all climates – with teak being particularly resilient due to producing its own oil supply.
Standard patio dining sets consist of three to nine pieces, such as a table and two to eight chairs. Bistro sets are great for smaller outdoor spaces and may feature tabletop grills to act as breakfast nooks or lunch spots. Conversation sets imitate an indoor family room experience by featuring coffee tables, loveseats, armchairs or chairs–some even come equipped with built-in gel fuel fire pits for additional warmth!
Patio tables are the focal point of any backyard or poolside area, so selecting one that complements its environment is paramount. Round tables are timeless classics while oval and square options can fit more diverse spaces.
