So you are a new homeowner ready to buy new patio furniture for the first time. It is an investment in this summer and future summers. In addition to how it looks, you are concerned with how long it will last. Get the best quality for the price you can afford. It is difficult to recall what you should know when buying patio furniture.
Indoor furniture may be sat on, jumped on and eaten on, but outdoor patio furniture is exposed to the weather. Thunderstorms, gentle persistent rain and the like can put a strain on your outdoor pieces. It should be washable of course.
There are stores with bargain prices. Many reasonable prices make the good pieces fall within your price range. If you choose aluminum, make sure you plan to bring it in on a windy day. If you have fancy cushions, perhaps plan to cover them to keep them clean.
Make a list and double check it. For families with children, sturdy redwood is a good material. Anything durable such as wrought iron is going to last for decades. For the young family, it may last their entire lives. Buy something that will not show wear and tear. Let the kids enjoy their summer on the new patio furniture.
Summer is meant to be fun. Enjoy hot dogs (kids spill ketchup), hamburgers (kids drop pickles) and soda or cool aid (kids spill both). In fact, you may have some guests at your picnics that are adults and spill their beer.
You will want a table with matching chairs and a colorful umbrella to shade you when the sun is hot. You may want a seating arrangement of couch, love seat and chair with coffee table and perhaps one end table. There are lovely but inexpensive sets in wicker, plastic and aluminum.
Easy to clean means plastic. Detergent and soap and a little elbow grease. Rinse with the hose and voila, it is clean. Aluminum chairs are easily washable too. Remember to cover them if they heat up in the sun and you are wearing shorts. Do not forget to take these inside in a windstorm. The heavier materials are wood and wrought iron. They last forever and retain their good looks year after year.
Don't forget the toddler set. There are small sized picnic tables and lawn chairs made just for them. Get them in bright primary colors to please the little ones. Older children always enjoy a glider sized for two.
Try to follow a theme and match all your pieces to complement rather than clash with each other. Modern, rustic and Victorian styles are made in various colors and finishes. Plan ahead so you do not have a grouping that is too eclectic.
The beauty of wrought iron patio sets can be yours, for a price. Solid, fancy and yet sturdy, it will last through your lifetime. Sometimes heavy people are at your cook out and this is as sturdy as wood for them.
Look over all that is available. Plan how many pieces you want. Make a list of the various possibilities. Go shopping and make your selections. If at all possible, wait for the patio furniture you want to go on sale. Everyone loves a bargain. The money you save can finance your next family cook out. Now go shopping and remember what you should know when buying patio furniture. - 32174
