Patio Furniture
Many patio dining sets come in 5-piece units, and often include a patio dining table and four chairs. You may also purchase pieces individually, and some patio sets offer seating for more than four people. A wide range of materials are used in the construction of patio furniture. They also vary in cost depending on style, material and seating size. All good quality patio furniture is made for outdoor use. Care and cleaning for sets will depend on the materials used in the construction.
Wrought Iron and Cast Aluminum Patio Sets
Wrought iron patio furniture often features smooth curves and terrific traditional or contemporary design. Wrought iron patio furniture is extremely durable and will coordinate with just about any style. These pieces are constructed from heavy weight iron, and then finished for smooth beauty and rust resistance. Cast aluminum patio furniture is very similar in design and rust resistant. Cast aluminum isn't as heavy, and can often be purchased for less than wrought iron furniture.
Wood, Wicker or RecycledPlastic Outdoor Dining Sets
Wood patio furniture is functional and beautiful. Low-maintenance, recycled plastic patio furniture is also nice looking and durable, and can be found at cheaper prices than traditional wood. Outdoor wicker furniture is not only charming and classy; it is comfortable and looks fantastic. Most wicker patio furniture is treated for weather resistance, it is always best to use wicker in a covered area.
Patio Umbrellas
Some patio furniture sets come with wood patio umbrellas, while others don't. Many tables have a hole made to hold an outdoor table umbrella that you must purchase separately. If your patio furniture is in an uncovered area, an umbrella may be something worth considering. They will protect guests from the hot summer sun. If you have a swimming pool, a patio umbrella is a great place for swimmers to get out of the sun.
Spending quality time outdoors with family and friends is even more enjoyable when you have comfortable furniture. Choose the style that suites your taste and needs. You and your guests will absolutely love the comfort and style a great quality patio set provides.
