Retro patio furniture is becoming more popular as people are looking to add a unique finish to their backyards. Thanks to advances in manufacturing techniques, you can now get durable long-lasting patio furniture in a variety of vintage styles.
Retro patio furniture brings back a lot of nostalgia and memories from childhood, which is probably why this is style is growing in demand. However, decades ago, this old outdoor furniture did not last very long. As kids we probably remembered our grandparents furniture as rusty or sun bleached.
But today's outdoor furniture is made out of more advanced materials, like resin. This is a type of injected plastic molding, and while you may think plastic sounds cheap, resin patio furniture can be made to look like expensive wood. Also resin can be made strong and more durable by adding fibers, and resin can also be any color you wish.
Some of the big advantages of having your outdoor furniture made out of resin is that it is weather resistant, UV resistant, and can be molded into comfortable shapes, and is very easy to clean.
If you're going to buy retro furniture made out of metal parts, they should have special coatings to resist rusting and corrosion from heat and humidity as well. The same goes with any wood furniture that you buy, they should also be sealed with a waterproof sealant.
If you choose to buy furniture in the vintage style you should plan on buying a whole complete set from the same manufacturer, because it is hard to get matching styles from different manufacturers because this furniture is not very common yet.
Also, you should buy a complete set all at once because some lines of retro patio furniture has limited production runs, so the colors may not match up very well between production batches.
