Outdoor furniture refers to outdoor furniture including benches, tables and chairs that are used outdoors. Garden furniture, also known as patio furniture or outdoor furniture is a kind of outdoor furniture specifically made for outdoor use. It's generally made out of weather-resistant materials like aluminium, which is almost rust-proof. The earliest surviving examples of outdoor furniture date from the gardens of Pompeii. They date back almost 2 thousand years.
Today, outdoor furniture covers are commonly used. They come in different materials like vinyl, canvas, Terry cloth, cotton canvas and other such fabrics. They can be durable up to fifteen years or more. However, there are certain things you need to consider while buying a cover for your outdoor furniture. Below given are some tips to select a durable and cost-effective cover for your garden furniture.
The most commonly used materials for making outdoor furniture covers are vinyl, canvas and Terry cloth. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the canvas is very durable but is quite expensive. On the other hand, aluminum is very affordable but is not so durable as the other materials. Therefore, it is wise to consider carefully the pros and cons of each material and then decide on the best material that will fulfill all your needs.
Aluminum is considered the best material to use for protecting your outdoor materials against moisture, sun, rain and other environmental factors. However, it is important to note that this material cannot retain moisture forever. So, it is necessary to check periodically whether the furniture set is in need of water or not. If the set does require moisture, then you should opt for plastic frames.
If you are looking for patio covers, then aluminum is the best choice. It is a very strong material that can resist rusting, cracking and many other outdoor conditions. You can find it in different shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. It is very convenient to use because it is available in a wide range of colors and sizes. It can be used to create dining sets, lounge chairs, deck chairs and many more types of furniture that you may require for your patio or lawn.
Wicker and woven furniture are also highly recommended for your patio or lawn. As compared to the aluminum or steel, wicker is less expensive. However, it is still relatively expensive when compared to stainless steel. Another advantage of using wicker and woven materials is that they are long-lasting. These outdoor spaces always require some maintenance because they are exposed to sun and moisture.
