When shopping for BillyOh garden furniture, consumers usually focus on certain characteristics. These include comfort, style, and, of course, price. The type of material is an underlying feature that’s often overlooked, however.
Although, in essence, no outdoor pieces are 100% weatherproof. But there’s a considerable gap based on the materials used, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the various material options helps. This is especially helpful when finding the perfect outdoor lounge – say, for a modern patio. Or maybe you want an outdoor comfy chair set that matches your rustic deck setup.
Read on, and we’ll guide you through the different materials and how to choose the best one for your garden!
1. Wooden Outdoor Furniture
Wooden garden furniture has been a popular choice for gardens for centuries. It’s durable and versatile and adds a natural feel to any space.
But then again, you may think wood loses out on all fronts. For one reason, the material is susceptible to rot, pests and damage by the weather. Lucky for you, this common issue can be resolved with wooden garden furniture treatment. With the right TLC, coupled with pressure treatment, it can outlive you and last a lifetime!
The versatility in aesthetics that the timber material offers is also a great factor. With a wide range of design options, there’s something to suit your rustic patio setting. If you’re on the lookout for quality wooden sets, check out our exceptional offers below:

2. Metal Furniture
Metal garden furniture is known for its durability and sturdiness. It’s often made of popular materials, such as aluminium, besides steel and wrought iron. Overall, it’s weather resistant and not subject to wear and tear.
The designs are often sleek and modern, with clean lines and minimalist shapes. If you value lightweightness, those with aluminium frames are your best bet. Unlike iron, cast aluminium garden furniture doesn’t rust, fade or rot, and it’s low-maintenance.
If you’re looking for lounge chairs to fit your minimalist-themed patio, go for aluminium:

3. Rattan Garden Furniture
If metal furniture has aluminium, the furniture has a synthetic polyethene (PE) type. Synthetic rattan is made from synthetic fibre, mimicking the appearance of natural rattan. It’s highly durable and resistant to weathering, making it ideal for use in outdoor settings.
The material is also lightweight – a great perk when rearranging your patio furniture. Additionally, the material is easy to clean and maintain. A great example is this grey rattan garden furniture below. A type of outdoor pieces that works well for both contemporary and country setups:

Round-up
When choosing garden furniture material, consider the weather conditions in your area. Moreover, the style and aesthetic you want to achieve.
Traditional wooden garden furniture is classic and versatile and would look best in a rustic garden setting. Aluminium frame garden furniture, in contrast, is robust and low-maintenance. An outdoor piece like this fits a minimalist and modern patio setup.
