URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Choosing between lightweight and heavy furniture for a windy balcony depends on several key factors. Lightweight pieces, often made of aluminum, resin, or foldable fabrics, are easy to move and store. However, in strong winds, they can become projectiles, causing damage or safety hazards. Heavier furniture, like wrought iron, teak, or concrete pieces, is inherently more stable and less likely to blow away. The critical solution for either type is secure anchoring. Use furniture weights, sandbags, tie-down straps, or choose designs that can be bolted down. Ultimately, prioritize safety: opt for heavy, low-profile pieces or ensure lightweight items are always properly secured. Consider aerodynamics—perforated or slatted designs allow wind to pass through, reducing lift. Your best choice is durable, wind-resistant furniture that is either inherently heavy or can be reliably anchored, ensuring your balcony remains a safe and stylish retreat.
