What is Outdoor Wicker?

Outdoor wicker is one of the most enduringly popular materials available for patio furnishings, and its popularity has only increased with time. All-weather wicker patio furniture adds an elegant yet natural look to any outdoor space. But what sets it apart from other wickers? Let's look at the differences.

Rattan wicker (often just called "wicker" for indoor furniture) is a natural material that has been used for centuries to create furniture, planters, baskets, and other household items. This type of wicker is woven from rattan vines that grow in tropical climates, which gives your furniture a desirable earthy and organic look. Some might call it "rustic". As far as natural wood goes, natural rattan is fairly strong and holds up better than most other indoor materials when used outdoors. That said, synthetic wicker is much stronger and better-equipped to handle the weather no matter the season.

Today, what we call outdoor wicker furniture is made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that is meticulously engineered, textured, and woven to look and feel just like natural wicker, but far more durable, and with a distinctly modern design sensibility.Synthetic wicker also offers much more versatility and customization options over natural rattan furniture due to its wide range of colors and finishes. As a blend of high density polyethylene resin and natural rattan fibers, modern outdoor icker furniture can look and feel pretty much however you want it to, from earthy gray and espresso tones to vivid bright colors. HDPE wicker is solution dyed, never painted, so you don't have to worry about your colors fading or chipping off in the sun. And what's more, it can be tailored to fit even tight spots or complex designs much better than conventional rattan furniture can.

One important distinction to make before you shop: Beware PVC outdoor wicker! This is the cheap stuff you find at super discounted rates at those stores everyone shops at; you know the ones. HDPE is flexible, fadeproof, scratch resistant, and is solution dyed during pre-processing so its color stays sharp for its entire lifetime. PVC "wicker" is far less malleable (in fact, it gets absolutely brittle in the sun after a few seasons) and is prone to breaking. PVC is not fadeproof and the "wicker" fibers are dyed after being manufactured, so it's just a cheap coat of color over the top. The only way PVC compares to HDPE is in its water resistance - HDPE and PVC are both waterproof, unlike natural rattan. But don't be misled: in every other way, PC wicker is an inferior product. Opt for HDPE instead; check our catalog for the web's best collection of HDPE patio wicker furniture!

Why Should You Choose Outdoor Wicker Furniture?

All weather wicker made with HDPE is one of our favorite materials for patio pieces for a great number of reason, but in brief, here are some of the highlights:

  • Wicker patio furniture benefits from lightweight construction for portability and ease of re-arrangement. While this means you may want to take some extra precaution keeping your furniture secured to the floor if you live in extremely windy environments, it also makes moving and taking care of your furniture much safer and easier on your back!
  • High quality HDPE wicker furniture hosts a great many weather-resistant features, being waterproof and extremely fade resistant. Many homeowners opt for wicker patio furniture because it can be used indoors as well as out on the deck or patio. This makes it versatile enough to work with any décor in any room in the house.
  • Wicker patio furniture typically requires no painting or other maintenance, which makes it ideal for those who want an attractive set without the hassle of upkeep. Wicker patio furniture maintenance is a breeze: a little mild soap and water on a soft rag or bristle brush. Scrub. Wipe down. That's it!
  • When it comes to aesthetics, patio wicker is a great choice. Frankly, modern outdoor wicker furniture just looks great. It comes in a variety of styles and finishes that make it easy to find pieces that suit any home décor. To create a timeless look, choose natural shades like tan or white that blend in with virtually any palette or color scheme.
  • Finally, wicker also has the potential to be more comfortable than other types of garden furniture due to its curved lines and airy construction. Wicker tends to remain cool even during hot days because air can pass through it; whereas wood absorbs heat from the sun and often gets too warm to sit on during summer days. Plus, many styles of high-quality wicker are built for comfort with oversized chair arms and plush cushions.

But hey, don't just take our word for it. Here are a few more data points worth considering:

  • According to a survey by the Outdoor Furniture Network, wicker patio furniture had an average retention rate of over 90% during its lifetime.
  • A study published in 2020 found that wicker patio furniture is more economical than other types of outdoor furniture, often costing up to 50% less.

How to Shop for Outdoor Wicker Furniture

When shopping for outdoor wicker furniture, there are a few things to keep in mind.

  1. Consider the size and layout of your outdoor space, and the function you want this space to fill. Make sure that the furniture you choose fits comfortably in your space and allows for easy movement around the area. Additionally, think about how you plan to use your outdoor living area. If you plan to entertain guests, consider a wicker dining set or a sectional sofa. If you prefer to relax and lounge, consider a wicker loveseat or a chaise lounge.
  2. You'll want to really plan out the style and design of your patio wicker furniture. Wicker furniture comes in a huge variety of styles, from traditional to modern, Mediterranean to farmhouse; think about how your new furnishings will "fit" visually in your outdoor living room and choose a style that fits your personal taste and complements your patio or garden.
  3. Finally, consider the quality of the wicker furniture. Look for furniture that is made with high-quality HDPE wicker and has sturdy aluminum or stainless steel frames that are rust-resistant and durable.

Choosing the Right Color and Design for Your Region

When choosing wicker patio furniture, take into account the local climate as well as your personal style. Color and design can vary widely, but it's important to consider what will last best in the environment where the furniture will be used. For example, if you live in a hot and humid region, lighter colors may be more appropriate to reduce heat absorption. If you live in a cold area with harsh winters, dark colors may be better for the colder months. Texture choice is also an important factor, as certain materials fade faster than others when exposed to UV rays from the sun.

In addition, consider the overall color scheme of your existing patio decor when selecting new furniture. Take into account the shape, size, pattern and texture of all pieces when designing your outdoor space - when done right, even small additions can have a big impact! Be sure to pay attention to the conversation between elements, like the organic curves of a wicker settee or the smooth texture of rattan end tables, while choosing complimentary colors and patterns. Doing this will help you create an outdoor haven that reflects your personality while also compensating for any particular weather issues related to your region.

Modern Wicker Furniture Designs

Today, modernist design adds a contemporary twist to classic wickerwork. Clean-cut, symmetrical lines are the hallmark of this type of furniture and set it apart from its more timeless counterparts. Modern wicker comes in warmer shades than the traditional versions and often incorporates other outdoor-grade furniture materials such as powder-coated cast aluminum frames, plastic or sling mesh, stainless steel, and natural all-weather hardwoods like teak. This look is ideal for anyone who wants to add a touch of modern sophistication to their patio with minimal fuss.

At Patio Productions, we strive to offer the most vibrant, varied, and fun selection of outdoor wicker furniture imaginable. We like to mix and match materials and styles to deliver only the most interesting high quality wicker furniture to you.

Balance and peace and comfort. Style and fun and verve.
