When choosing outdoor seating for areas with frequent sun pillars, durability and sun resistance are key. The best materials include:
1. Teak Wood: Naturally resistant to UV rays and moisture, teak ages beautifully and requires minimal maintenance.
2. Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, and often coated with UV-resistant finishes, aluminum stays cool and durable.
3. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): A recycled plastic material that won’t fade, crack, or warp under intense sunlight.
4. Stainless Steel: Ideal for frames, it resists corrosion and pairs well with UV-resistant cushions.
5. Synthetic Wicker: Made from resin, it mimics natural wicker but withstands sun exposure without fading.
For added comfort, opt for cushions with Sunbrella fabric, which repels UV rays and moisture. Regular cleaning and occasional sealing (for wood) will extend longevity. Prioritize materials that balance aesthetics, comfort, and resilience to harsh sunlight.
