Although rattan patio furniture is ideal in a warm tropical climate, it will not do that great in wetter environments. Why? Because it is an organic material which is susceptible to mold when permitted to get wet or damp for long periods of time. You need to keep this in mind the next time you are out purchasing rattan furniture. Of course, this should not be a minus aspect because if you really love it and still want to use it in a wetter climate, there is the so-called man made “all weather rattan” or poly-rattan furniture which can be easily used in all kinds of weather environments.
The latter is not as eco as it sounds but it still is manmade which means that it is available in a bundle of styles. It is a durable material thanks to the fact that it has some polyester in its composition which also makes it hard wearing and will easily avoid common problems such as mold. Poly-rattan furniture is often durably constructed with aluminum frames making the furniture light and corrosion free.
When you are picking the chairs made out of this material, we advise you to get a soft cushion for them. If they are square-shaped, it is advisable to use cushions that are made out of rubber. Prior to purchasing rattan outdoor furniture, especially the case of chairs, you need to be certain that all parts are assembled firmly and you can test by softly swaying the chair. You should also choose the chair that has design match to your body shape so you will feel comfortable when sitting on the chair.
The organic fibers that are being used in the process of manufacturing Rattan furniture are treated with a complex process that makes them water resistant, flexible, and durable. Vinyl is the most common synthetic material used to make Rattan furniture. Vinyl Rattan furniture is very popular near water sources in a garden such as pools. They repel water and maintain their elasticity even in the heat of summer.
