About cheap patio furniture and where to find it
Plastic patio furniture is one cheaper alternative to other style of patio furniture. Created from plastic resins, these pieces are poured into moulds and formed into tables, chairs and chaise longues. The price tags on plastic patio furniture tend to be much lower then the rattan, wood and metal varieties. This cheap patio furniture is easy to maintain, is weather resistant and can easily last 2 to 5 years until you decide to upgrade. Avoid plastic patio furniture offered by discount chains as they are generally mass-produced and use a lower strength resin. Shop around for something with a higher strength rating as well as an eye pleasing design.
If you prefer wood patio furniture, the alternative to expensive woods like teak are shorea or cedar. Shorea is a hardwood but is more readily available then the teak tree, which has seen it's overall stock diminish over the years. You can expect a long life span out of well-maintained shorea patio furniture while having a lower purchase price over the teak alternative.
Those searching for cheap patio furniture can also look at metal options such as wrought iron over cast aluminum. Iron patio furniture is very strong and durable but is susceptible to rust. As iron patio furniture is powder coated and polished, you may also experience some flaking or chipping of the finish, as they get older. You simply sand the affected area and use a rust coat paint to seal the metal.
