Tips when buying outdoor furniture
If you have a fully exposed area it pays to buy a cover to protect your investment as UV is the only enemy when it comes to looking after your setting and extending the life of your outdoor setting.
Cushions if included in your setting should be put away dry in winter but you can leave them out all year round if you wish but putting them away or covering the furniture will extend the life of your cushions. You can scotch guard the fabric if you wish to keep them cleaner or simply unzip the cushions and hand wash in warm soapy water.
Things to ask when buying outdoor furniture What are the cushions made of ? if polyester stay clear, stick with Olefins, Acrylic or Sunbrella fabric, What is the frame of the chair ? should be rust free aluminium or Teak , Cheaper sets are made of steel or Cheap timbers which will not last.
Take a magnet with you to test the salesman. it won’t stick to aluminium. This goes the same for stainless steel 304 grade is the best to use and the magnet won’t stick all other stainless look a like’s the magnet will stick . What is the gauge of the aluminium frame wall ? 1.2mm min in the answer but thicker is better. Outdoor products are always based on weight in production, the cheaper the chair or table usually the lighter or grade of materials used is below the norm. I hope these tips help you when making a purchase and looking after your outdoor furniture. At Robcousens.com.au you know you can trust the quality and now at Factory direct prices you can’t lose.
