Choosing and Caring for Wicker Patio Furniture

While some people think of screened in sun porches when they think of wicker furniture, it can also be great for the outdoors. Wicker patio furniture is quite popular and for good reason: it’s affordable, durable and beautiful. If you think wicker can’t hold up outside, think again. Today’s wicker garden furniture choices are made to withstand most everything Mother Nature throws at it. Not only is the wicker strong on its own it is usually treated to make it extremely weather resistant. You’ll love the exotic look this type of furniture imparts to your patio area.

One of the most captivating sets is the Wicker Capsule Conversation Set. It comes with four chairs rather than two, and a durable table featuring a base made from aluminum. The wicker is made for all weather conditions, and is designed to remain practical and beautiful for years to come. The most unique thing about this particular set is how the table and chairs fold up into a capsule shape for super easy storage, even in areas with little space. The wicker comes in white, dark brown or black while you have a cushion color choice of orange, sand or veridian.

Another wicker set with seating for four is the Lotus Wicker Patio Set. The chairs are backless and designed in a crescent shape for a decidedly modern look. The wicker table has a glass top for holding candles, food and drink. The resin wicker is dark brown in color and needs virtually no maintenance other than a hose down when dirty. This wicker is made to stand up to the elements. The finishing touch are cream colored cushions that stand out beautifully against the dark background.

If you are seeking a patio wicker set with backs on the chairs, take a look at the Toulon Bistro Set. This set is also done in dark wicker, with your choice of light ocean blue or natural cushions. The barrel chairs have backs, and the ottoman doubles as a table because it comes with both a cushion and a glass top. This set does have less seating than the aforementioned Lotus Patio set but also has a different look to it. With some comparison shopping you can find the perfect outdoor wicker set to spruce up your patio area. The wicker patio furniture of today is sure to impress with its beauty and function.

Garden Furniture Sets

There are all kinds of different garden furniture sets made especially for outdoor use. No matter what your budget or style, you can find the perfect set for the exterior living area of your home. There are a variety of materials from which patio furniture is crafted these days. Let’s take a look at the different types of patio furniture and the benefits and drawbacks of each.

Plastic Garden Furniture Sets

Plastic is the cheapest type of patio furniture, but also the most susceptible to cracking and fading. For these reasons, it is easily accessible plastic patio sets for the garden area can be purchased at most any discount department store or home improvement superstore. However, many people prefer something a bit more sturdy and lasting, not to mention better looking, than obvious plastic. It’s good for the starter home but not for the long run and will eventually need to be replaced.

Aluminum Garden Furniture Sets

Aluminum is a lightweight material commonly used for outdoor furniture. It can be combined with other materials. For example, an aluminum patio table could feature a glass top table. Or aluminum chairs could feature a bit of wrought iron scrollwork. One of the reasons aluminum is so popular besides its lightweight and flexibility is the affordable price. You can easily dress it up with some waterproof and sun resistant cushions. There are solids, stripes and prints of all kinds to coordinate with any style or color scheme you want to implement. You could go for a bright Moroccan theme, a cool blue nautical theme or a retro checked gingham, it’s totally up to you.

Teak Garden Furniture Sets

Going up in price, you will find teak wood furniture garden sets. Teak wood is naturally gorgeous with its warm brown glow. It is grown in the monsoon forests of Southern Asia and contains natural oils that are pest and water repellent. You can buy teak tables, chairs, chaise lounges and other items to dress up your exterior. There are so many different kinds of furniture garden sets you can choose from. With so many appealing choices, you can turn your patio or garden into a comfortable place to relax and even entertain guests. Accessories that can make your outdoor area even more appealing include wind chimes, gazing balls, water fountains and of course plenty of flowers and plants.

Buying Outdoor Furniture: How To Get The Right Bistro Set

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 22:31:31 +0000

Try to take a closer look at your backyard, patio, or balcony. Then, imagine how you would like to spruce it up with backyard furniture, whether it be a set of chairs and a center table, a bench or a long table, some chaises and umbrellas, or even a gazebo with a set of chairs and round table. There are simply too many possibilities and you can explore each one.

The bottom line is, the moment you get to decide what theme or style you want to have, you not only get to save time, but money as well since you already have a basic idea of what you want to look into.

There are many styles to consider, be it a modern and contemporary French-styled cafe, a traditional English cottage or an Italian piazza.

Set a budget and make it a point to be realistic about the money you are willing to spend for your planned outdoor furniture.

Also try to consider the materials that you will be using for the style you’ll be using.

If you want one that requires less maintenance, try the plastic resin or plastic molded furniture. These are designed to allow water to slide off easily, or can be allowed to stand on a wet ground without causing damage to the material since plastic is waterproof.

The more expensive ones made of cedar wood are also attractive and durable. Since cedar is made of hard wood, it is also resistant to water. Over time, cedar actually turns gray and hardens. This just goes to show you how durable it actually is.

Cedar wood can also be stained with dyes or tainting colors to give it a more woody appearance.

Another famous wood product is teak, which when aged, gives a silvery-grey appearance when unfinished. It is also very durable as it can withstand nature’s harsh elements, especially the sun and rain.

Wicker furniture, whether made of rattan or vinyl-coated plastic strips, make good porch or balcony furniture. You can just bring them indoors as well during winter.

Another option is outdoor furniture made from aluminum. This is the most expensive among all metal-based furniture. It is lightweight and more durable than most.

A more affordable alternative to metal-based furniture are those made of aluminum, which is usually coated with an epoxy primer for rust proofing.

Lastly, there are also pieces of outdoor furniture made of mixed material, usually a combination of wood and metal, plastic and wood, aluminum and iron, stainless steel and nylon and more, which are usually used as accents for the different designs and styles.

These may be basic information, but when you keep these in mind, you will be able to get the right bistro set.

How To Make Your Patio Furniture Look Good

Outdoor Patio Furniture: How To Make It Look Good

Outdoor furniture will always look good on display, especially when it is still at the showroom of a store. But once it placed on your lawn space, patio, veranda or backyard garden, nature’s harsh elements can ruin it.

Strong wind, bird droppings, dried-up water deposits, decaying leaves, sun exposure, and a a multitude of other factors will take its toll on your outdoor furniture. In the long run, what was once pristine can now look dull and unappealing.

Scratches may also start to appear, especially if it is constantly subjected to the wind because stone grits or coarse soil particles can actually scratch the surface. What was once smooth and shiny can now look uneven and coarse.

But don’t worry, here are some helpful tips to help you keep your outdoor furniture looking good and making it last longer.

If you are still in the market looking for that ideal outdoor furniture to adorn your garden space, you can start off by looking at those that are easy to maintain and clean, such as those made of wrought iron, aluminum, or stainless steel.

Remember, you’ll be exposing the set to whatever the weather brings in. You simply can’t afford to haul your furniture in whenever it starts to rain.

Bird droppings, mud, decaying leaves or twigs, pollen, rain water and standing water are just some of the things that damage the pieces you have outside. In the long run, you’ll see the appearance of weak spots that are also usually the first to get damaged.

As a rule of thumb, the easier it is to clean and maintain, the better the chances of that furniture set lasts longer and stays more durable.

When selecting colors, choose those with lighter color tones rather than the darker ones. This is not only because it is easier to spot the dirty areas, but lighter colored ones maintain their colors better compared to darker colored ones, especially since changes in dark-colored furniture can be easily seen as they fade when constantly exposed under the sun.

Try to keep away your furniture from areas where trees or plants grow. The furniture’s life span shortens significantly when placed under them.

Spend time to make sure that aside from the base body of the furniture, you also get to clean the cushions and accessories that come along with the entire set.

For wicker chairs, since they are made up mostly of either vinyl coated plastic strands or strips of rattan, an ideal cleaning process would be to use a pressure washer configured to low settings, so as not to damage the intricate weaves.

These tips should help you to maintain your furniture pieces. This video talks about reviving wooden furniture:

Patio Furniture: Tips For Buying Patio Outdoor Furniture

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:31:58 +0000

Some of the benefits that you can get from making the choice in outdoor furniture is not just the fact that it can be aesthetically appreciated, but also that it can also save money in the long run, and you’ll have a much easier time maintaining your furniture (if you have to).

If you want to choose by the materials or the style outdoor furniture is made, it’s advised that you have as many options as possible, since designs and prices vary dramatically.

Economically speaking, the price range for patio furniture starts with plastic, the cheapest, and usually has teak hardwood outdoor furniture at the other end. Teak is usually the most expensive choice of patio furniture you can make. Other options are aluminum, wicker, and wrought iron. Those are the most popular material selections.

Aside from the choice of material, another consideration is the amount of time and effort that needs to be spent in maintenance of your furniture.

Aluminum furniture: can be easily washed and maintained by regular cleaning. This involves hosing it down with water, soaping and rinsing it.

Teak furniture: This is one of the most common material used for outdoor furniture. It’s also commonly used for building boats, as teak is a great choice of building material for ship decks and other boat-related items.

Generally speaking, teak is weather-proof, and drenching it with water does not cause any harm to it. (After all, teak itself is a wood.) It usually ages due to weather, and shows this by appearing silvery grey in color, which gives it a sturdy and rustic look.

Due to it’s natural durability, teak usually does not require a great deal of maintenance. However, if someone opts to preserve its golden brown color, all they would need to do is sand the furniture with a standard furniture sandpaper or abrasive, and then, apply teak oil. This should be done at least once a year.

Plastic furniture: usual maintenance requirements are that plastic is to be washed with warm, soapy water, and brushed it with a nylon brush to remove grease and grime. This is especially true if your furniture set is situated close to an outdoor barbecue grill, or when removing dried up soil particles, which usually sticks to the plastic after it rains.

Plastic-based (synthetic) wicker furniture: Dust and dirt may accumulate between the cavities of the wicker material. That’s why this material needs to be cleaned regularly. This is done by hosing it down with water to remove the dust and dirt that can accumulate. But if you do this, remember to use less soap on it, since excess soap could harden the material, thus making it brittle and breakable as time goes by.

Genuine, non-synthetic wicker, on the other hand, is different: Since it’s actually wood-based (rather than plastic), the mesh has a tendency to absorb water (especially if it hasn’t been treated to be water-resistant). That’s why it’s not recommended that you use water to clean it: it can cause the wicker to expand.

Outdoor furniture made of steel or cast iron: Be sure that the manufacturer has taken steps to make it painted or coated with a colorless varnish or gloss. This acts as a protective coating, and works to to prevent water from getting into contact with the metal. Of course, this helps to avoid corrosion, making it last longer and retain its durability.

Some manufacturers use a powder coating material on metal furniture. This provides it protection from all kinds of weather. Powder coating can be better than the usual metal paint that’s used to touch up or finish some metal furniture, as it provides for a much thicker weather-proofing protection.

Plastic Bistro Sets

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:49:11 +0000

Are you looking for the most affordable type of bistro set? If so, plastic bistro sets may be what you’re looking for. This type of outdoor furniture can be found at almost any store, and is usually low-priced, compared to more expensive aluminum, iron, and wood sets. Plastic outdoor furniture is usually made to be pretty weather resistant, so you don’t have to worry about the sun or rain. However, keep in mind that they are not as lasting as an expensive teak patio set, for example.

Plastic sets are prone to cracking, and may even stain, depending on the color you choose. You can always spruce up your set with spray paint, just make sure that what you are using is made for plastic, and always do this outdoors, wearing a mask and safety goggles just in case the wind blows paint or paint fumes your way. Popular colors for plastic patio furniture are white, black, green and even red. A bright red set would look retro fabulous especially with accessories like a patterned umbrella and a container garden with red flowers.

For a new homeowner who already have their share of expenses, a plastic patio furniture set can be the cheapest way to add charm and practical function to your patio area. Tables can be used for holding drinks and dining, you can get an umbrella for shade and add citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes away. Once you are more financially set, you might want to upgrade from plastic to aluminum, wrought iron, or even something elegant like teak wood. Teak has natural oils that make it weatherproof and looks extremely classy in any setting.

When it comes to outdoor space, patio plastic is the cheapest way to go. You can buy patio dining sets made from plastic at many places. Discount stores, superstores like Wal-Mart, home improvement stores, and even online are a few examples of places that sell patio furniture. Also, while looking for this type of set, consider covers: covers for your furniture might be a good idea, because although plastic is somewhat durable, extra protection never hurt. And you can find all kinds of other outdoor accessories, like candles, umbrellas, wind chimes, bird feeders and so much more to make your outdoor area even more special.

Dear Patio Owner…

…Welcome to BristroSetsPatio.com!

If you’re looking for bistro sets patio ideas for your outdoor patio, you’ve come to the right place. This Bistro Set Patio site offers tips and ideas that will tell you what you need to know about bistro patio sets. This site features articles about bistro patios and patio furniture bistro sets.

In fact, right here on this page, I’m going to share with you, 3 popular…

Patio Furniture Bistro Sets

With so many outdoor patio furniture bistro sets out there, which one’s the best one for your patio and surrounding furniture…? I’ll help you answer this question further below, but for now, there are 3 patio sets that you may wish to consider:

Toulon Wicker Bistro Chat Set

This wicker set comes with cushions and wicker barrel charis. It also comes with a multipurpose ottoman with both a cushion for putting up your feet, and a glass top for when you need a table. The furniture itself is of a striking dark shade. For the cushions, you can choose between a natural ivory shade or ocean blue. Either way, the dark-shadded furniture contrasts perfectly with the cushions.

Lisbon Bistro Set

Curved legs, elegant scrollwork, functional and beautiful: If you’ want more of a traditional round table set, this wrought iron-framed bistro set may be what you’re looking for. It’s been said that this set portrays the look of French cafe.

Lotus Wicker Patio Set

Unlike the traditional bistro set, this wicker set seats four. It’s backless chairs are designed in a crescent shape for a modern look. This set’s table has a glass top, which holds candles, food and drink. If you’re a person who’s concerned about the maintenance of your patio sets, you’ll be relieved to know that the dark brown resin wicker requires virtually no maintenance, other than a wash down when dirty. Not only is this wicker is manufactured to stand up to the elements. Finally, the nice touch is that the cushions are cream colored and stand out beautifully against the dark background.

3 Great Bistro Set Ideas For A Beautiful Patio and Garden

As you probably know, a bistro is a small, (2-person, usually) chair-and-table outdoor setting where causual foods and drinks are enjoyed. Bistro sets usually come in 3 pieces: a table and 2 chairs. An umbrella is a possible accessory.

With the tips and ideas I’m sharing here, you’ll know what to consider when transforming your patio area into a charming social place where your friends and neighboors can get together, relax, and socialize.

Bistro Set Idea #1: Accessories

Umbrella. Of course, this is for shade. If having some shade is something you’d like, you might want to consider an included umbrella as part of your purchasing decision.

Chairs. Bistro sets are usually for 2, but there’s nothing that says that you can’t buy additional matching chairs. Heck…you could even get 2 bistro sets if you wanted to seat 4.

Cushions. Now, these are not necessarily an accessory or add-on—they may come with the set itself, but it’s still a feature to look for.

Bistro Set Idea #2: What overall look do I want?

This is a great question to keep in mind, not only in how your set will fit in with your home, patio, or garden, but also, with any other patio furniture you may have.

Keep in mind that you can go for certain themes:

The bistro garden theme, where you place one or more bistro patio furniture sets amongst a garden or container garden.

A romantic theme. Imagine what your set would look like with a lit candle during the warm summer evenings. Beware that flying pests can spoil your romantic patio atmosphere: Citronella candles can give off a nice glow, and their scent can repel mosquitoes and other pests.

Exotic look: Chaise lounges and pillows in bright Moroccan silks can give your patio this exotic look.

For a beachy look, consider a palm tree, tiki torches, and a fire pit or fire bowl to keep the warmth and light when the sun goes down.

There are many other possible themes and looks, such as feng shui, urban, and maybe even futuristic. Just let your ideal look guide you as you pick the right furniture set.

This idea closely relates to the following question…

Bistro Set Idea #3: How will my bistro set’s material match it’s surroundings?

That is, is the best match a plastic bistro set? What if it was aluminum? Wrought iron? Is teak what you’re really after?

Plastic bistro sets are usually the most economical bistro patio sets there are. They’re very lightweight and are usually very easy to assemble (if they don’t already come assembled). One bad thing about them is that they may not last as long as sets made of other materials.

Like their plastic counterparts, aluminum bistro sets are lightweight. They can last longer than pastic, and can withstand certain extremes of weather.

Next are the wrought iron sets. These usually have a heavy weight and are higher-priced. Having said that, there are some furniture makers who may manufacturer pieces (or entire sets) that look like wrought iron, except that they’re not. They do this to give the look of wrought iron, while avoiding the weightiness and expensiveness.

For a person who has the money to spend on the best of the best, hardwood teak bistro sets are great. Teak is a fine wood that contains natural oils that make it resistant to pests and all kinds of weather conditions. Though teak (and many other hardwoods) is more expensive than plastic and wood, it’s also more luxurious. Teak has the characteristics of being beautifully-colored, natually patterned, and strong enough to withstand the rigors of almost any weather.

Well, that ends the three great bistro set ideas. However, there’s more that I wanted to share with you, so I’ll briefly do so:

Consider getting covers for your bistro set, especially for protecting it against the weather.

Shopping online is usually safe. One important tip is to make sure the site you’re purchasing from has some sort of verification seal. Also, make sure that any page you put your financial information on is secure. To determine this, look at your browser’s adress bar: the address of the page will begin with https, instead of the standard http

Bistro Patio Sets

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:00:00 +0000

Bistro patio sets come in several different themes. If you’re looking for the bistro set that fits the theme of your patio, this is the article to read.

Bistro Patio Sets: Which Theme Do You Have In Mind?

When it comes to decorating your garden, you can do a lot with themed bistro patio sets. You don’t have to settle for plain-looking furniture. After all, this could be your new hangout area. While functionality is still an essential criterion for your choice, you also have to consider aesthetics. You’d want guests to be impressed with how well you can take care of your home. Yes, you may be required to shell out a bit more cash, but if you know where to look, you can find great deals in your area. So, take some time off and scout around your neighborhood for garage and factory sales. Don’t hurry through the decorating process. Pretty soon, you’ll find what you need and will be more inspired to beautify the outside portion of your home.

Like fashion, home decoration trends change as well. You could get tired of seeing the same furniture day in and day out. Now, your hands are itching to redecorate. But before you even begin, you have to plan out a theme. Ask yourself if you want it to match the interiors of your home? Or, would you like to set a different pace altogether? Just remember, always keep comfort in mind. You want to set a relaxed atmosphere when it comes to your patio. This is where you could spend your warm summer days as you breathe in the cool, fresh breeze that blows through the trees.

Now, you can improvise ideas and make your home a tad bit more unique. Don’t just settle for plain chairs and tables on your garden. Plan around something and set the mood. One of the more popular choices nowadays is the outdoor barbecue theme. This works especially well if you have an outdoor fireplace. For those who love to grill burgers and entertain friends on a picnic, you’ll certainly benefit from this style. If you want to add a little bit of sass into it, choose modern-looking equipment and sleek dark-colored chairs for the area. If you have little ones of your own, add some umbrellas and throw in colored pillows on the chairs. This way, you can easily work around it during children’s parties.

If this isn’t your thing, you can also opt for a country theme. While this closely resembles the barbecue-style bistro patio sets, you can add more wood into the design. For those who love to drink, add big barrels and set up a western-style bar at a corner. You can even add checkered table cloths and plaid napkins when you serve food. The accessories will make all the difference here as you line up the walls with colored bottles and signs. Flowers make the area livelier, and you can certainly do with a vase or two on the table.

Nonetheless, don’t get stuck on just these two ideas. The Nantucket style has certainly caught on over the years. Roughly painted white chairs and tables look classy in any backyard. If you have a pool in the area, don’t forget to add pieces that make the swim easier. A towel rack and a beach umbrella will help. Play around and don’t just settle for traditional colors. The white painted tables and chairs can match just about anything, and it is entirely up to you how you tie all these together.

Just remember that when you decorate your patio with the ideal bistro patio set, you have to think about how long you want them to last. Choose materials that are durable and meant for the outside. So, when it starts to rain, you don’t panic as you try to move the heavy chairs and tables around or try to cover them up with plastic. Instead, you can just walk back inside your house and wait for the rain to stop. Then, enjoy a cocktail or two in your very own backyard.
