The garden chair is a component of the patio set, allowing the user to enjoy their home's outdoor space. This piece of furniture comes in a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, steel, or woven resin.
Teak garden chairs have certain characteristics worth knowing.
- The types of wood used differ in their resistance, measured from 1 to 5. Teak, known for its rot-resistant properties, withstands humidity as well as termites and fungi well.
- Woods that are PEFC or FSC certified come from responsibly managed forests. The presence of these labels guarantees environmental preservation.
- Maintenance of teak furniture is limited to oil application once or twice a year.
Other natural materials are used in the manufacture of garden furniture.
- Some furniture pieces are made from other durable wood species such as acacia robinia, itauba, eucalyptus, or pine.
- Rattan is also among the most used materials for making garden chairs. Like teak, this vine from the palm family is rot-resistant. It is valued for its flexibility and weather resistance.
Some garden chairs are made from metal materials.
- Always in style, wrought iron models are valued for their elegance and sturdiness. Steel chairs are treated with anti-corrosion coatings allowing them to withstand the harshness of bad weather and humidity.
- As its name suggests, epoxy metal is steel covered with epoxy resin to protect it from moisture and thus corrosion.
- Aluminum gives a modern look to outdoor chairs. Models made from this material are lightweight and easy to move when necessary.
Like garden chairs, resin chairs have certain specifics:
- woven resin withstands both UV rays and moisture;
- molded resin has the same characteristics as the woven version;
- furniture made from this material has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years;
- they are easy to maintain, as washing with soapy water and drying with a soft cloth is sufficient.
The choice depends not only on aesthetic criteria but also practical ones. Thus, materials that are lightweight and moisture-resistant are preferred in rainy regions.
