The 30 Best Wicker Patio Furniture Pieces to Spice Up Your Deck This Spring
The weather is slowly but surely warming up, and we're itching to get outside and enjoy it. But first, we'll need a good outdoor setup. Enter: wicker patio furniture. Reportedly one of the oldest furniture-making methods known to mankind, this technique tends to produce natural-looking pieces with intricate detailing in earthy tones that make it a timeless classic. More importantly, however, many wicker chairs, tables, sofas and the like are weather-resistant, as they're often woven with synthetic material that's designed to withstand Mother Nature—even during her worst of tantrums. Here are some of the best wicker patio furniture pieces to pick up for your deck, patio or balcony.
What is Wicker Patio Furniture Made Of?
Contrary to popular belief, wicker is not a material but a weaving technique that results in an overlapping pattern. The material it's made with varies and has different benefits, depending on whether it's natural wicker or synthetic.
Natural wicker: This type of wicker is typically made using plants, such as rattan (a vine that grows in tropical regions), willow, sea grass or raffia. Contrary to what you might believe, natural wicker is actually not a great choice for patio furniture, as it can fade in the sun, crack in the cold and stain at the drop of a hat.
Synthetic wicker: Synthetic wicker, on the other hand, has all-weather characteristics that make it a bit tougher under grueling conditions. It can be made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), though HDPE is preferred, as it's a bit harder and stronger. (Read: it'll last you thought a few more seasons of fun in the sun.) It's lightweight and easy to clean, too.
How to Clean Wicker Patio Furniture
Because wicker patio furniture is largely used outdoors, it can take a heavy beating on the dirt front, so it's important to keep up with maintenance if you want your purchase to last. It is recommended to wipe down wicker after it gets exposed to water to help prevent sagging, mold or mildew, and clean it section-by-section to prevent it from getting wet all at once using dish soap and a toothbrush or a soft-bristled scrub brush regularly. If you do notice mold or mildew, the best course of action is to use a solution that's made with one fourth vinegar and three fourths water.
