- 2. Comfort - Comfort is the real reason why you are getting outdoor furniture. If you are getting some form of dining arrangement, this is how the arrangement should look:
- The chairs must match the table height wise.
- Make sure there is leg space under the table.
- The cushions need to fit the chairs properly.
- 3. Maintenance - If you don't select the right material, the maintenance can get quite time-consuming. Because of this, you will need to keep limitation of time in your mind. Here is a basis of how you would clean each form of material:
- Aluminum pieces will be washed in lukewarm soap water.
- You can wash modern wicker outdoor furniture with water to remove airborne dust particles. Soap must be applied very infrequently.
- Teak must be sanded and applied teak oil (once a year) in order to preserve the golden-brown color. Unfinished teak can weather away to a silver-gray shade even though it cannot be harmed by rain.
- In order to prevent rusting, steel and wrought iron must be painted. To prevent the furniture from being drenched in the rain or morning mist, you can simply cover the furniture when not in use.
