URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

For city dwellers with packed schedules, enjoying an outdoor space shouldn't mean adding another chore to the list. The key is choosing furniture made from inherently low-maintenance materials. At the top of the list is powder-coated aluminum. It's incredibly lightweight, rust-proof, and needs only an occasional rinse with a hose. Synthetic wicker, typically made from resin over an aluminum frame, offers the classic look of natural wicker without the fading or cracking; just wipe it down. For a modern, industrial feel, consider stainless steel or teak wood. High-quality stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, while teak naturally contains oils that protect it from the elements, gracefully aging to a silver-gray patina if left untreated. Finally, consider furniture made from modern poly lumber (recycled plastic). It won't rot, splinter, or need painting, requiring just simple cleaning. By investing in these durable, weather-resistant materials, you can create a stylish urban oasis that survives the seasons with minimal effort, giving you more time to relax.
