6 Reasons Resin Wicker Furniture Should Be Your Outdoor Furniture Of Choice

1. No More Back Wrenching Labor!
Summer time is fun time, who wants to do work? Nothing zaps the fun out of summer parties more than having to drag heavy patio furniture outside then back in each and every time you want to use it. With wicker outdoor furniture you safely leave your patio furniture outside not just all summer but all winter too!

2. No More Fading In the Sun!
High grade wicker outdoor furniture is made of Polyethylene (PE), which is infused sun blockers that guarantee the color won’t fade in the sun. Traditional wicker furniture is made from Abaca (palm) leaves whose colors will diminish with prolonged UV exposure. However with quality synthetic wicker outdoor furniture you won’t have to worry about color fade.

3. Water Proof Too!
Water can’t soak into the fibers of wicker outdoor furniture is comprised of particularly non-porous strands of synthetic wicker. Traditional abaca wicker will soak up water like a sponge when the finish wares off and will eventually rot if exposed to the elements. You can leave quality modern wicker furniture outdoor year round rain or shine without risk of water damage.

4. Rust Proof!
Iron patio furniture will resist rust as long as the paint or finish stays intact. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable that the sealant will eventually wear down with use as scratches form on the surface, letting rust set in. Quality wicker patio furniture is made with aluminum frames, that while it technically does rust it actually grows stronger when it oxidizes unlike other metals. As aluminum oxidizes it forms a protective layer around itself which is the same color as aluminum so not only does it grow stronger with age but it looks brand new for its entire lifespan.

5. More Style!
Because wicker patio furniture is made from moldable aluminum and synthetic wicker, there is practically no limit to the designs and styles available. From vibrant colors to subtle multi colored strands that look just like natural abaca wicker your color palate is endless for those seeking custom wicker outdoor furniture. Plus the texture and width of the strands weave patterns can be altered to form many different looks. Combine these versatile synthetic wicker strands with limitless aluminum frame designs and you have an wicker patio furniture set for any patio, balcony or garden.

6. Eco-Friendly!
patio wicker furniture made from Polyethylene (PE) will not only last a lifetime but it is recyclable too. It is important to make sure that the outdoor wicker sofa or dining set you purchase is indeed made from PE and not Polyvinylchloride (PVC) which may be detrimental to the environment. PVC emits harmful gaseous chemicals that harm humans and the atmosphere during its entire lifespan. Plus PVC is not recyclable making it one of the most hazardous plastics on Earth. So look at the label, if it does not advertise PE then you can bet it’s PVC.
