Tips & Tricks

Outdoor furniture

• Choose waterproof materials
  • One key consideration is to use materials that have been proven to endure rain and humidity. Weatherproof galvanized steel and concrete composite, water-resistant synthetic wicker, and teak, which is naturally weather-resistant and fungus-resistant, are just a few examples. Acacia wood is another great outdoor material, although it takes more maintenance than its metal-based counterparts.
