Greens Garden Furniture

Furniture for your garden offers the opportunity to express yourself with your home accouterments, but also poses some unique problems to the decorator. Different materials are used in this furniture, due to exposure to the elements, but there are charming additions to the home that can be made. Wicker, metal, and some different woods may become familiar to you as you search for furniture.

Teak, cedar, redwood, and cypress are among the most common woods used in outdoor furniture. Teak is probably the most common and convenient because it has natural oils that withstand moisture, mold, and mildew–an essential, if your furniture will be exposed to rain. Teak has been used to build boats for centuries, for this very reason.

Metal is also used for patio furniture. Typically, the designs for metal furniture are light and airy, such as seats and backs with decorative holes drilled in for ventilation. If you prefer metal outdoor furniture, place in the shade because metal furniture can get hot. Getting light colored metals is also a good idea.

Another popular material for patio furniture is wicker. This reed can withstand a great deal of wear, and returns to its original shape after having been wet. It is light in appearance, but resilient and lovely.
