When choosing garden furniture, you can't afford to make a mistake. After all, the street is a real test for the material.
Rain, snow, frost, heat, hail, scorching sun rays, insects, fungi and bacteria - all these factors destroy any material.
But this happens at different speeds. Therefore, you should carefully approach the choice of outdoor furniture so as not to change it after a year.
And in this article we will talk about durable materials from which garden furniture is made.
Metal
Metal furniture is highly durable and resistant to external influences. It can be made of steel, aluminum or cast iron. Cast iron products are the most durable, but they are very heavy.
Even without care, any metal will stand outside for many years. And if you take care of it, for example, paint it regularly, then metal furniture will please you for decades.
Tree
Wooden furniture has a high aesthetic appeal and can last a long time if properly cared for. Choose products made of hardwood, they are the most durable. With proper care (impregnation, painting), wooden furniture will last more than 10 years. But here it is important to initially choose high-quality products.
Plastic
Plastic furniture is the most affordable and easy to maintain, but is inferior in durability to metal and wood. Although here special emphasis should be placed on quality. Never buy cheap plastic. It will lose its appearance by the end of the season, and in a year or two it will begin to crumble. High-quality plastic is more durable and looks decent.
Stone
Stone furniture is the most durable, but it is also the heaviest and most expensive. Stone is highly resistant to external influences and can last not only tens but also hundreds of years. When choosing stone, remember that it is very difficult to move it from its place. Therefore, you must be absolutely sure that you need a stone bench and table in a specific place and for centuries.
When choosing outdoor furniture, it is necessary to consider not only its durability, but also its visual appeal, functionality and ease of use. It is also necessary to consider the climatic conditions and features of the area where the furniture will be located.
