When the weather is comfortable, courtyards and terraces will become your leisure places. First, they increase your overall available space, and second, these places can bring you relaxation and more fun. At this time, you may need to buy some outdoor furniture. The steps for buying outdoor furniture are almost the same as those for buying indoor furniture, but there are some other precautions. So, here is some points of buying outdoor furniture guide for you.
Weather factors
Is the weather in your place hot and dry or cool and humid? All of these are important questions to answer before choosing outdoor furniture. That’s why? Hot, dry conditions may chip the wood. A long time in a cool and humid environment will also cause the steel to oxidize and rust. You have to understand the properties of these materials, otherwise it will be consumed quickly.
Many factories now replace materials in order to keep prices down. Generally speaking, aluminum is more expensive than iron, but aluminum material has the best stability in complex weather changes, so when you choose outdoor furniture, you should not just focus on the price, but also pay more attention to whether the material of the product can withstand the test of the weather.
Spatial factor
You need to consider how much storage space you have and the shape of the furniture. Is it a long and narrow balcony or a wide terrace? Make sure to leave enough space around your furniture to be able to walk comfortably. After you have determined these, you also need to know the shape and size of your furniture, whether you can enter your balcony or terrace through the door of the room you enter and exit.
In a smaller space, a dining table may be better than an ordinary dining table, because the dining table is narrower and stools take up less space than chairs. You can also look at the tables and chairs in cafes or bistros because their overall footprint is small.
Reasonable placement
Is your terrace exposed to the sun? Will your furniture be placed on soft grass or on a hard surface (such as a wooden deck or paved terrace)? With these questions, it can help you choose furniture that is more suitable for you.
Do not place softwood furniture such as pine trees on the soft turf surface and bare places. The moisture on the ground will cause the wood to rot, and the moisture will also cause some metal corrosion. If there is too much sunlight, you can consider using outdoor parasols to shade.
Comfort
What kind of outdoor furniture allows you to relax and use comfortably. If you don’t have cushions on your chair, you can buy or make your own cushions and pillows. Just make sure to use high-quality outdoor fabrics that are resistant to fading and mildew. If you no longer use them outdoors in the cold months, store them in order to extend their lifespan.
