Choosing the right outdoor furniture
Gulf Coast summers and humidity are tough on furniture, so material matters most outdoors. Look for weather-resistant frames (aluminum, resin wicker, or treated wood) and quick-dry or fade-resistant cushions — genuine outdoor fabric sheds water instead of holding it, which matters in our climate. Covered patios can handle a wider range of materials than fully exposed decks; for uncovered spaces, stick to frames and fabrics explicitly rated for direct sun and rain exposure.
