How to Pick the Right Outdoor Furniture

A guide to choosing the best set for your outdoor space.

Relaxing and entertaining aren`t solely reserved for the indoors. In fact, with the right furniture, they may be better when done al fresco. Ready to make the transition to outdoor living, but unsure what furniture fits your open-air lifestyle? Here, we break down the best backyard pieces so you can concentrate on the weather forecast.

Most outdoor furniture comes in four basic materials: aluminum, wicker, wood, and plastic. Each has its pros and cons, depending on the aesthetic and craftsmanship you`re going for. Here, we break down these four common materials (and a few extras).

Aluminum

Lightweight but also durable, aluminum can stand up to the heat (and the wind and the rain). Perhaps its best trait? It`s rust-resistant, making it a great solution for humid climates or locales that tend to see a lot of rain. For extra durability, opt for UV-resistant, powder-coated aluminum.

Wicker

A very popular choice, woven Wicker Furniture offers porches, decks, and sun-rooms a classic, timeless look. While always lightweight, it`s important to note that only all-weather wicker can withstand the elements-its traditional counterpart, made from rattan, cane, or bamboo, should only be used in covered areas.

Wood

Typically the most expensive of the four materials, wood is always a solid-and sturdy-choice for outdoor furniture. To get the most bang for your buck, look for denser types of wood like teak, eucalyptus, and acacia; they`re the most weather- and insect-resistant, and thus, will last the longest.

Plastic

A lightweight, low-cost option that comes in a variety of colors and styles, plastic furniture may not last as long as wood, wicker, and aluminum furniture. To reduce fading, look to plastic with UV-stabilized pigments-or, opt for a recycled plastic piece. Made of polyethylene, recycled plastic is created to be highly durable.

The Finishing Touches

No outdoor space is complete without cushions, an umbrella, and a rug. When buying such items, turn to fabrics designed specifically for outdoor use. Words you`ll want to look for? Water-repellant, fade- and mildew-resistant, and UV-stabilized pigments.
