Designer Outdoor Furniture Sale and Promotion

Designer outdoor furniture is essential for a backyard lounge area, pool, sitting area or lanai. Outdoor furniture differs from interior furniture as they are composed of more durable materials. Classic outdoor furniture design though has stayed timeless and is even being revived for its elegant and refined look. Modern designs have also evolved with the times, particularly along with the development of modern architecture and landscape design. Below is a list of materials commonly used for outdoor furniture.

Teak - Teak outdoor furniture is one of the most attractive, weather resistant, longest lasting types of outdoor furniture out in the market. Teak or Tectona grandis, is a deciduous hardwood tree indigenous to the dry, hilly terrains of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. It is dense-grained and highly resistant to rotting, warping, shrinkage and swelling. Its oil content acts as a natural preservative to the wood so it can be left outdoors for decades.

Wicker - Natural wicker furniture is made from rattan, a tropical climbing palm; or bamboo, a large tropical grass. All-weather wickers are woven from resin, synthetic material that can be formed into narrow vine-like pieces that look like natural materials. Resin wicker can hold up to the harsh weather conditions. Dyes mixed into the resin absorb color naturally instead of paint.

Aluminum - Aluminum is a lightweight and easily molded metal that will not rust. It was first used to construct outdoor furniture in the early 1960's, when it was made from extruded, hollow-core tubing. This construction method is still used today, primarily for pool area furniture and lawn chairs. These pieces are very lightweight, which allows for easy portability, but are susceptible to high winds and harsh elements. A highly durable form of aluminum used for benches and outdoor dining furniture is known as cast aluminum.
