Choosing Lawn Furniture

First, do you need mobility? Will the furniture remain stationary all season? Or, will you be moving things around for neighborhood and family gatherings? There are many, many options that include wheels for easy mobility.

What about comfort?  It’s one thing to sit for a few minutes in the sun; quite another to spend an afternoon at a cookout or other gathering. And, not all lawn and patio furniture is comfortable! Waterproof cushions are available in many shapes, colors, and sizes; enough to satisfy almost any furniture seating area. Some choose cotton and other indoor-type fabrics, preferring to simply move the softer cushions indoor between uses.

Water resistance and fading. Will your furniture be covered or out in the hot sun, wind, and rain? Choosing the appropriate fabric for the right exposure can make the difference in how long the furniture holds up before requiring replacement.

How about spare and replacement parts. Some are not aware that most quality lawn furniture manufacturers make replacement parts, including chair covers, available online. Why buy a new chair or swing, ruining a matched set, when you can replace worn or damaged parts anytime.
