People can choose from a wide range of outdoor furniture for their backyards and patios. From teak, wicker, and woven to aluminium and bamboo, there is no shortage of options when it comes to furnishing the backyard area or sprucing up the patio, items like hanging chairs, table tops, or an outdoor bench seat. So, take a look at some of the most popular choices for outdoor furniture that homeowners will find appealing:
- Woven Furniture
Woven furniture is made from natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, and cane. The great thing about woven furniture is that it’s light and easy to move around. It also has a modern look with its simple lines and clean design. However, woven furniture needs to be regularly maintained as it can get quite dusty over time.
Woven outdoor chairs are usually more comfortable than other outdoor chairs because they are made of soft materials like rattan or bamboo, making them very comfy when sitting on them for extended periods.
- Wicker Furniture
Wicker furniture is made of woven material. It is not synthetic; it’s a natural material that is strong and durable. Wicker can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the type of furniture people buy. Meanwhile, many people use wicker for their seating, like an outdoor bench seat, because it can withstand the elements better than most materials and has an appealing look that blends well with many styles of homes’ exteriors.
Wicker comes in many styles and colours, so there are lots of options when people are shopping for new outdoor furniture. And with the furniture market growing in the country, thanks to the rising urban population, Australians won’t have any shortage of selection anytime soon.
- Teak Furniture
Teak is a hardwood that is resistant to rot and insects, making it an ideal choice for outdoor bench seats. As such, teak patio furniture will last for years without the need for refinishing or repairs—many pieces can be passed on from one generation to another. This durable wood also is one of the most expensive types of hardwood available today.
- Aluminium and Bamboo Furniture
Aluminium and bamboo bench seats are the two most affordable products that people can buy for their backyard or patio. These two materials are often used as outdoor seats because of their strength, durability, and lightweight qualities.
Aluminium is a strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant material. It is an excellent choice for outdoor furniture because it can withstand the weather well without rusting over time. The metal will not warp like wooden furniture when exposed to direct sunlight and heat, so it lasts longer than other types of wood or metal that people may use in their yards.
Bamboo is also an excellent material for building outdoor furniture because it’s dense but still very light in weight. The texture of bamboo also prevents splinters from forming on its surface when handled roughly by children playing outside with friends or family members at home during warm summer days.
- Glass and Metal Furniture
Glass and metal bench seats are a great option for households because they are durable and easy to maintain. People don’t need to worry about the weather or any other factors affecting the seats because glass and metal are both very strong.
They’re also easy to clean—if people spill something on them, all they have to do is wipe it off with a damp cloth. As such, they don’t have to spend hours scrubbing away at stains like they would with wood or fabric. Plus, these pieces are stylish! They bring an elegant touch to the outdoor space without being too ostentatious or overwhelming the backyard or patio design (like some types might).
