How do they compare to Plastic and Wooden garden furniture ?
Plastic garden furniture is naturally waterproof, so you can leave it out all year round. While plastic may look great for years and years, the cold of winter and quick changes in temperature can weaken the material and in some cases make it almost brittle.
Outdoor furniture made of wood is a favorite option for those that have extra funds, as they are more expensive (but also more beautiful).
Wooden outdoor garden furniture is very much exposed to all kind of weather, so it makes sense to take extra efforts to keep them looking new. Wooden garden furniture needs to be treated with varnish periodically because without it, it will not withstand exposure to the weather. Covers can help keep your outdoor garden furniture clean and dry, as well as protect it from damage from the weather.
