If you want to move your living room to a terrace, courtyard or balcony, the first thing you need to do is choose the right outdoor furniture.

It may be different from what you imagine. It includes weatherproof sofas, recliners, dining tables and chairs, bar stools, footstools, storage cabinets, coffee tables and other matching items.

They must stay strong in all weathers, including the sun, rain, sea breeze, and even ice and snow, without fading or rusting. This is an essential feature for outdoor furniture.

Next, I will introduce you to 20 strong outdoor furniture brands from around the world. I hope it can help you save time and money so you don’t have to deal with these problems again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put outdoor furniture outside permanently? Will it break?

You can put it outside all the time, but you need to choose the right material. For example, HDPE plastic, wood, aluminium alloy, teak and other wind-resistant materials can be placed outdoors all year round.

If you buy a model made of fabric, wood or rattan, it is best to put it away on rainy days or in winter, or cover it with a waterproof cloth.

Will the cushions get mouldy when it's raining? How should we deal with it?

Traditional cushions often get mouldy, but good outdoor furniture now uses QuickDryFoam, a sponge that dries quickly and is covered with waterproof fabric.

It quickly drains away rainwater and does not retain moisture. If you buy a foam cushion, it is a good idea to add a removable cloth cover and dry it regularly.

Can you buy furniture made of iron or steel in coastal areas?

Not recommended. Iron and low-quality steel are easily damaged by salt in the sea breeze, and rust more quickly than you might expect. People living by the sea should choose furniture made of powder-coated aluminium alloy, HDPE plastic, wood or stainless steel that is suitable for the coast.

How long will it take for outdoor furniture to break down? How long does it last?

This depends on the material you buy and whether you have looked after it well.
HDPE plastic, wood, aluminium alloy, and teak can usually last 10-20 years.
Normal artificial rattan or fabric products will need to be replaced or repaired after 3-5 years.

What's the best way to clean outdoor furniture and what should you use to wash it?

All you need to do is wipe it with a damp cloth every day. You can also use warm water, neutral soap and a soft brush to scrub it. Steel wool and strong acid and alkali cleaners should be avoided. It is best to wash the cloth cover regularly, either in a washing machine or by hand, and then let it dry naturally.

Will outdoor furniture fade? How can you stop it?

If you leave them in the sun for a long time, the colour may fade. It is recommended to choose furniture with a UV-resistant coating or Sunbrella® fabric, which can last for more than five years without fading.

If you don’t have much money, you can also add a parasol or put it in a room that’s not fully outside to reduce the sun’s rays.

Should I move my outdoor furniture indoors in winter?

If you live somewhere where it often snows or freezes, it’s best to move your furniture indoors or close off your balcony. If the furniture is too heavy, remember to at least put on a waterproof cover and lift it off the ground to stop water building up and cracking it.
