Outdoor Furniture for Arizona

Investing in quality outdoor furniture is also an investment in the time spent creating new memories with family and friends enjoying your outdoor space during Arizona’s best seasons. Unfortunately, our summer can dry out and scorch patio furniture not suitable for the extreme heat and intense UV exposure of the Arizona sun. Here is some insight to outdoor furniture materials our vendors are using to create patio furniture made for longevity, that will outshine our glaring sun.

Rope

Marine grade and all-weather synthetic rope used to create Paleceks woven outdoor furniture has unsurpassed style, comfort, and longevity. The rope creates a soft texture with a lighter appearance and can be a great alternative to wicker, which can dry out, crack, and splinter. The weave can beautifully mimic natural material for an elegant style that is resistant to cracking, peeling, fading, breaking, and stretching.

Teak

Used for decks on sailboats and furniture on yachts, Teak is the most durable of all hardwoods. The natural oils within the wood protect Teak furniture from deteriorating and drying out in intense sun. The natural honey brown color of the wood needs no stain or paint- it will slowly patina to a highly sought-after soft, silvery grey. A teak sealer can be applied to restore the original luster and color with minimal effort. The same benches built using salvaged teak from ships centuries ago are still enjoyed in parks in England today. An heirloom material, you can hand down teak furniture though your family for generations to come.

Reinforced Concrete

Concrete furniture can add a contemporary feel to your patio furniture design. The color is compatible with all palates and grounds other textural materials. The concrete mixture is reinforced with natural fibers to enhance its longevity and durability- making it lighter and easier to move, less porous for stain resistance, and reinforces its resistance to chips and cracks. The cement color comes in a variety of hues, from almost white to charcoal, that will lightly patina with oils from your skin and oxidation.
