What type of outdoor or patio furniture requires the least amount of maintenance?
If you’re wanting to buy outdoor furniture that does not require a lot of maintenance, your best bet may be to purchase synthetic wicker furniture.
It is a lot less expensive than either wrought iron or aluminium furniture. But the best thing about synthetic wicker he is that it requires hardly any maintenance at all.
Just hose it off and you’re done.
Of course, you’ll want to take better care of the cushions. You would not want to let the questions get exposed to rain and the you’d want to bring them inside during the winter.
Also, you may want to spray the cushions with some kind of a mildew resistant every once in a while.
Buying cushions made from Sunbrella fabric would be a good thing to do because these are not very likely to fade or mildew or even deteriorate for several years.
You definitely would want to buy covers for your furniture. That’s possibly the only maintenance you would have to do.
