1. Materials that survive sun and rain
Pick powder-coated aluminium or steel frames with PE rattan or outdoor textiles. Avoid untreated MDF and indoor foam outdoors.
2. Size, height and lounge pairing
Align height with your lounge seat. Modular sets often sell matching ottomans — confirm footprint so pathways stay clear.
3. Storage vs open designs
Lidded storage keeps cushions dry if the seal is sound; open weave and mesh dry faster after summer storms.
4. Care through the seasons
Hose frames, wipe salt film, and cover or store cushions in wet weeks. Check feet pads so timber decks are not scratched.
