What is the most durable material for outdoor furniture?

Outdoor furniture in Australia is designed to withstand the elements, so given the right sort of care most materials will last a considerable amount of time in the great Australian outdoors.

Our outdoor settings are manufactured in a range of long-lasting materials, with the most durable being:

1. Powder coated steel such as the Mansfield 3 piece bench setting
2. Steel frame with tempered glass such as the classic Sailor 5 piece outdoor setting
3. High quality timber mixed with stainless steel such as the Shadow2 7 piece outdoor setting
4. UV resistant PE wicker with galvanised steel framing like the popular Hamilton outdoor lounge with coffee table
5. Modular furniture that can be adapted to your outdoor space.

How long does outdoor furniture last?

The long term durability of outdoor furniture is partially dependent on the conditions it is exposed to, for example:

• Outdoor furniture in Melbourne can cop four seasons in a day!
• Outdoor furniture in Sydney experiences less extremes than Melbourne but more humidity.
• Outdoor furniture in Perth can be damaged by strong winds and exposed to intense sunlight.

Choose an outdoor furniture material which suits your local conditions, for example lightweight aluminium furniture may get tossed around in Perth’s windy summers and rattan outdoor furniture copes well with moisture making it a popular choice in Darwin homes. Purchase from Amart for outdoor furniture that can remain in showroom condition for years.

How to get longevity from your outdoor furniture?

1. Outdoor furniture in your alfresco space or under a UV resistant pergola will last longer than furniture which has no protection from the elements.
2. Re-stain timber outdoor furniture regularly with a recommended furniture oil to protect its natural lustre.
3. Use covers for outdoor furniture when not in use.
4. Secure your outdoor furniture in high winds and extreme conditions.
5. Outdoor umbrellas protect both you and your furniture from damaging UV rays.

Is outdoor furniture waterproof and weatherproof?

While most will be weather-resistant, certain components of some outdoor furniture items may not be 100% waterproof and weatherproof in all conditions, such as the seat cushions on some outdoor chairs. Our range of outdoor camping furniture are made to withstand extreme Australian weather conditions.

You can find covers for outdoor furniture in our outdoor accessories range, to keep your beautiful outdoor setting in tip-top shape when you’re not using it.

What is the best outdoor furniture?

When choosing the best outdoor furniture for your space, remember that you don’t want it to:

• Hold heat so that it burns when you sit down
• Grow unhealthy and unsightly mould or mildew
• Rot, rust or corrode
• Warp, fade or crack

Luckily the modern garden furniture, bench seats, outdoor bar stools and outdoor furniture sets available from your local Amart Furniture store are designed to withstand a range of weather conditions and maintain their high-performing good looks for many years. Outdoor storage is always welcome, so make sure to plan your outdoor area and BBQ so you can have everything on your wishlist.

How to clean outdoor furniture?

Follow the manufacturer’s care guide to ensure you use the right cleaning materials on your outdoor settings. Most outdoor furniture can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth, or hosed and left to dry in the sun.
