French outdoor furniture is often made of iron or metal and available in various colors. Wrought iron patio furniture is strong and durable but may rust if left alone for long enough; aluminum models offer lighter yet more affordable solutions than wrought iron models.
French patio furniture made of wood can last for many years if cared for properly, however the quality can differ and should be chosen wisely in order to withstand weather damage from both rain and sun damage. Red cedar wood naturally resists both these elements while products such as WoodProtect will help your furniture maintain its aesthetics for decades to come.
Wicker furniture, made of plant fibers and usually painted to protect them from the elements, requires little to no upkeep; simply bring it indoors after each use and dry any cushions regularly – plus for optimal performance it would be wise to cover with protective covers when not in use!
For an eco-friendly solution, French patio furniture made of recycled plastic or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) may be your answer. Both materials offer durability and weatherproof qualities ideal for any climate; furthermore they’re easier to maintain than traditional wrought iron or wooden furniture and come in an assortment of designs to complement any decor scheme.
Maintenance
Just like with any furniture, regular maintenance of French patio furniture is necessary in order to keep it looking its best. Vinyl and aluminum pieces should be cleaned with soap and water; wooden pieces may require wood cleaner. Wicker should be treated with special cleaning solutions designed for this material; for extended life expectancy it is wise to protect with tarps or covers when not being used.
Wrought iron furniture that has gone too long without being properly cleaned may start to rust, making your investment less appealing to potential buyers. You can use a mild acid-free rust remover to get rid of it before polishing with petroleum jelly or WD-40 to protect it further from further oxidization. Furthermore, your furniture should be waxed twice annually to extend its lifespan.
