There are 2 key qualities that you should look for, to ensure your rattan furniture will indeed survive outside all year round.
1.UV stabilized rattan weave - this means the handwoven threads have been specially treated to resist damage from the UV rays of the sun. This means it’s prevented from breaking down, fading, or becoming brittle, allowing you to leave it outside uncovered. |
2.Aluminium frame - a strong aluminium frame not only makes the furniture light, but means it’s impossible for it to become rusty. Rust is the number 1 reason why most metal based garden furniture sets break down when left outside, as the moisture gets in between the coating, and oxidizes the steel. |
