Outdoor Furniture

TIPS FOR BUYING OUTDOOR FURNITURE CONSIDER THE WEATHER Hot, dry conditions can make some wood splinter and crack. Strong winds can send aluminum furniture flying, and wicker will not withstand constant exposure to moisture. CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIALS The durability of outdoor furniture also depends on the material it is made of. The three factors can help you decide are weather, the amount of care required, and how it looks. MEASURE THE SPACE Consider how much space you have, and how it is shaped. the chairs around a table take up an additional 24 inches of space. And then you'll need an extra 24 to 36 inches from the back of the chairs to be able to walk around. CONSIDER THE GROUND Will your furniture rest on soft ground and grass or on a hard surface such as a wooden deck or a paved patio? Your answers will help determine if need an umbrella you or if you need a lighter weight furniture for grassy spots. PAY ATTENTION TO COMFORT You will be using your outdoor furniture to relax, so make it comfortable. Make sure to try out your furniture before you buy it. For stretching out you may also want to look at hammocks and daybeds. CONSIDER YOUR BUDGET In the end your budget determines what you can buy. Consider materials that are less expensive such as aluminum or resin, or look for inexpensive woods.
