Outdoor sofas can be used in meltemi-prone areas, but their durability depends on material quality and design. The meltemi, a strong seasonal wind in the Mediterranean, demands furniture that can withstand harsh conditions. Opt for heavy, wind-resistant frames made of teak, aluminum, or synthetic rattan. Avoid lightweight materials that may topple or degrade.
Cushions should use quick-dry, UV-resistant fabrics to prevent mold and fading. Anchoring systems or weighted bases add stability. Regular maintenance, like covering sofas during extreme winds, extends their lifespan. With the right choices, outdoor sofas can thrive even in meltemi-affected regions, combining comfort and resilience.
