Factors to Consider in Choosing the Best Outdoor Furniture

When choosing the best furniture for your outdoor home space, you’ll find that there are plenty of materials to choose from. For example, if you’re walking along a furniture store with no guide to help you out, you can easily get undecided whether you’ll take wood, metal, or plastic furniture for your outdoor setup.

So, here’s a short checklist of the factors that you should consider in choosing your outdoor home furniture:

• Typical weather conditions in your area
• Cleaning and maintenance of your furniture
• Cost and affordability

Let’s go through them one by one!

Typical weather conditions in your area

The first thing you have to consider is the suitability of your outdoor furniture to the weather conditions in your area. Different weather conditions will affect the quality of your chairs and tables when left outside, i.e. in the garden, patio, deck, veranda, or terrace.

More specifically, when there’s a lot of sun and temperatures tend to go high in the place you’re residing in, the wrong type of furniture will be prone to fading, cracking, and heat retention. Fading means that your furniture will lose some of its luster over time or will have a duller color compared to when it is new. Cracking will be the result of brittleness when your furniture is exposed to drastic changes in temperature. Heat retention is a factor to consider for your safety and comfort, since furniture can heat up and burn your skin when left under the sun for too long.

On the other hand, when your place gets plenty of rain, moisture, and humidity, your outdoor furniture can be exposed to elements such as mold, rot, and rust. Wooden furniture is especially susceptible to mold, rot, and mildew, as these organic materials tend to undergo a decomposition process when exposed to moisture or humidity. Rust and corrosion are the enemies of metal furniture that is battered by rain when left outdoors.

MAKA offers a range of chairs that can withstand different weather conditions. The outdoor chairs that we have on our catalogue are built to last, rain or shine, hail or storm. They also won’t lose their original quality, are not prone to warping or cracking, and retain their color and patina for a long time. MAKA outdoor furniture also has UV protection for better durability and sturdiness against the heat of the sun.

Cleaning and maintenance of your furniture

Because your outdoor furniture experiences different weathers and other elements of nature, cleaning and maintenance should also be taken into account when choosing the best furniture for your outdoor home space.

Some of the questions that you have to consider are:

• Does your outdoor home space have an open-air layout or does it have a canopy or roofing for added protection from different weather conditions?
• Do you want your furniture to stay outside regardless of the weather or will you be stacking them inside when needed?
• Do you have time to clean your outdoor furniture or do you just want to avoid the hassle?

These factors will lead you to the best outdoor furniture that is suited for your cleaning and maintenance capabilities. Some furniture materials require more care than the others while some materials need lower maintenance.

For example, our Outdoor Armrest Chair 2084B is stackable and lightweight, making it easy to move whenever the weather condition asks for it. It is also easy to arrange according to whatever outdoor layout you have in mind.

Cost and affordability

Ultimately, the outdoor furniture that you will choose depends on your allotted budget. You don’t have to spend a lot to have high-quality tables and chairs that will complement your home’s exterior design and outdoor space.

MAKA can customize packages, colors, and other specifications according to your budget. It makes a difference when you can choose the best chair or table for your outdoor home space without settling for anything less.

Why Choose Plastic for your Outdoor Furniture?

Plastic furniture, such as some of the major ones designed and manufactured by MAKA, is growing to be the leading materials in home decorations and interior design. They are cost-effective and flexible solutions to your outdoor home space.

Here are the main reasons why you might want to choose plastic, rather than wood or metal, for your outdoor home setup:

• Plastic furniture is lightweight, easy to arrange, and provides ease of movement when you are planning to layout your garden, deck, or patio.
• Because the chemical composition of plastic or synthetic furniture already includes the color, they are fade-resistant and can retain the original color without losing its value. This is ideal for locations that experience extreme weather conditions or fluctuating weathers.
• Polypropylene (PP) or Polycarbonate (PC) types of plastic materials are weather-resistant and do not degrade easily. They are also sturdy and are not prone to cracking, unlike their wood or metal counterparts.
• Plastic furniture is easy to clean and maintain because they typically have no moving parts.
• Plastic chairs and tables are flexible, may be easily designed and customized, and may fit a wide range of aesthetic styles.

In short, plastic furniture covers all the factors explained in the previous section. MAKA offers all these advantages and more with our assortment of plastic chairs and tables available for viewing at our website and catalog.
