Resin Outdoor Patio Furniture: Choosing the Right Colors for Yours

by Alan Mannus

Using wicker outdoors may be one of the smartest choices you have ever made, wicker is not just popular for its durability – it has been known to be able to withstand harsh weather conditions – it is also economical in the long run. Wicker patio furniture seldom requires more than the occasional wipe down of dust which can easily be done just before an important occasion and look good for years on end.

Rain, wind, snow, and even sunlight can do a lot of damage over time to even the best quality resin wicker patio furniture. Oxygen and water are necessary building blocks of life because they are extremely reactive, which is good for people, but bad for furniture. On top of that, wind, snow, and rain can all do a good amount of physical punishment to that same furniture.

Not only have do you have choice of colors, and patterns, but you will also find that the fabric will vary too. Generally a material made from a vinyl type fabric will serve you well. These are specially formulated to include resins and enhancers.

Protecting everything with individual covers will keep your furniture looking new. They also make it easier to keep the furniture outside for periods, without having to keep placing everything in the shed, should the weather turn suddenly. Covers help a great deal, and some material is intended for all year round purposes.

Patio furniture, the problem with “outdoor living rooms” is that they get dirtier lots faster than the indoor ones. Fortunately (or maybe wisely), patio furniture is constructed to take abuse – and soil. If your furniture is near a pool or spa, hose it down once a week because chlorine will damage most finishes.

Resin, this substance doesn’t require much care. Wash it with a mild soapy solution, hose it off, and towel dry. Avoid products with ammonia, but use a diluted bleach solution for stains, polish resin furniture with car wax if desired.

Table and chairs, in either plastic, wood or metal. I think it goes without saying that you will always need a table to and chair to enjoy your outside experience on a patio. As I always heard as a kid, sitting on a cold stone floor will give me problems I do not want! So decide on which medium will suit your outside space (and budget)

Shore and eucalyptus are very attractive, less-expensive options, but they can be a bit less durable Wood. Clean with a mild detergent and scrub brush at least once a year. Store indoors over winter if possible.
