Every year as Spring brings warmer days and comfortable evenings, your thoughts probably start turning toward spending time outdoors. And if you have a backyard or even a patio, you will want to get some comfortable patio furniture to enjoy.

Wicker Garden Furniture is the choice of many for its combination of style, comfort and durability. Today’s resin treated wicker or synthetic wicker furniture is an excellent investment in the future. Quality made furniture of either kind will last for many years and continue to provide you with comfort while looking great.

Wicker Is a Process — Not a Material

Many people believe that wicker is the natural fiber that is used in the making of the furniture. That is actually most often rattan. Like the more widely known bamboo, rattan is a vine that grows in the tropical rain forests of Indonesia and South-East Asia.

Wicker is actually the weaving process that fashions rattan – or any other material – into furniture.

So, in this case, the treated or even the man-made is superior to the natural.

Natural wicker furniture made from rattan does not weather well due to the porous nature of the natural material and is not appropriate for outdoor use. So make sure you pick resin treated or synthetic wicker for your patio or yard.

Natural pole rattan will absorb moisture and eventually deteriorate. Even resin treating, which is effective on the wicker, will not give you as many years as powder-coated aluminum. Most quality wicker patio furniture today has frames made of aluminum.

Aluminum is not porous and will not rust. It can also be finished in the same color as the furniture so looks great.

Most pieces of wicker garden furniture today have frames made of powder-coated aluminum. Pole rattan is porous and will absorb moisture and eventually deteriorate. Aluminum does not rust and can be finished to match the color of the furniture and will give you many years of use and enjoyment. Due to their increased durability, powder-coated aluminum frames are the most desirable for wicker patio furniture.

Also synthetic, non-porous, vinyls and resins are often used over these aluminum frames. You will see this referred to as synthetic wicker. Since wicker is the weaving process and not the material, this is a not false or misleading description.

Although not quite as pretty or “organic”, these synthetic pieces should last much longer than their natural counterparts.

Wicker Furniture Cushions are designed specifically to fit most wicker patio furniture and to stand up to years of weather and wear.

They beautiful patterns will help you make your outdoor space a place to enjoy and relax with family and friends.

Remember, cushions for wicker furniture should have at least 5 to 7 inches of padding to ensure a luxurious feel and to provide all the comfort your wicker outdoor furniture can produce.

Naturally most wicker garden furniture comes with comfortable all weather cushions. The top of the line manufactures will customize the cushions with your choice of fabric, filling and design. Choose from thousands of options.

There are also manufactures who will custom create cushions for any existing piece.

Styles include patio cushions, outdoor bench cushions, rocking chair cushions, love seat cushions, indoor and outdoor wicker furniture cushions — and all other custom outdoor furniture for that matter.

Look for a guarantee that states the cushions will not fade or mildew for at least 5 years.

Many of the best cushion sources also carry or make custom throw pillows, custom bolster pillows, custom body pillows, custom floor pillows, custom toss pillows and custom pet bed cushions.

One more thing — Although indoor wicker furniture will quickly deteriorate outdoors, outdoor wicker furniture is perfectly acceptable for indoor use.
