Using furniture for the patio and garden will create a welcoming living outdoor area, thus increasing the potential living rooms of your home. Utilizing outdoor areas is particularly enjoyable during pleasant weather seasons, or year-round in a temperate climate. Many people leave their outdoor spaces unused and do not capitalize on that beautiful potential. Some people have enjoyed their patio spaces so much that they have actually created a screen or glass porches to use the space year round.

It is a good idea to take climate into consideration when you choose to purchase furnishings and accessories. For those who live in harsh climates with extreme winter weather, it may be a good idea to store outdoor furniture indoors or in a storage shed. For less extreme conditions, outdoor furniture covers will help your furniture retain its beauty and functionality.

There are several materials from which furniture for the patio and garden are made. Materials suitable for outdoor furniture include:

• Stone or concrete are sturdy, but heavy. You will not want to rearrange the furniture once it is in place.
• Metal should be coated with rust proof protection. The most popular metals for outdoor furniture include cast aluminum and wrought iron.
• Plastic or recycled plastic offer inexpensive options.
• Vinyl is often used because it is a weatherproof option and costs less than many other materials.
• Glass should be tempered or treated to be appropriate for outdoors. Glass is normally used in a combination with other materials. For example, a glass tabletop might be mounted on aluminum supports to create a table.
• Treated woods are used widely in furniture used in the garden or patio. Adirondack furniture is one the most popular styles of wooden outdoor furnishings. Some common woods to be used outside are cedar, teak and pine.

When shopping for furniture for the garden or patio, take into consideration your natural surroundings as well as your own preferences in style, material and colors. The furniture with which you furnish your outdoor space can express your own taste and personality just as your indoor furnishings do.
