Nothing is nicer than relaxing in your garden on a comfortable lounge set, but to enjoy it all year round, proper maintenance is essential. At Boender Outdoor Garden Furniture, we know better than anyone how important it is to keep your all weather lounge set in top condition. In this blog post, we share practical tips and advice to keep your lounge set clean, fresh and durable, regardless of weather conditions. Read on and discover how, with a little care and attention, you can enjoy your garden furniture for years to come!
The material of the lounge set
If you have a lounge set in the garden, it can be made from all sorts of materials. Most all weather lounge sets, for example, have a frame made of aluminium, wood or plastic. At Boender Outdoor Garden Furniture, we have a preference for all weather lounge sets with an aluminium frame. This material offers numerous advantages and has a long lifespan. Of course, each type of material has its own unique properties, advantages and disadvantages. That's why we'll take you through the different materials and their characteristics, so you know exactly what suits you!
All weather lounge set made of aluminium
A popular choice for all weather lounge sets is an aluminium frame, and for good reason! Aluminium has plenty of advantages. It's super lightweight, which means you can easily move the lounge set. Handy if you want to quickly shift your set from the garden to the veranda during a sudden downpour, for example. Moreover, aluminium always looks good because it's colour-fast and won't rust. So whether the sun is shining or rain is on the way, you can safely leave your lounge set outside.
Garden furniture made of wood
Garden furniture with a wooden frame is also popular because of its beautiful, natural appearance. But unfortunately there are also some disadvantages to wood. For example, the material can discolour quickly in the sun, and with heavy rain it can swell. Given the changeable weather in the Netherlands, wood is therefore not always the best choice for outdoor furniture.
Plastic lounge sets
Many people eventually also opt for a plastic lounge set. Like aluminium, these sets are colour-fast and can withstand heavy rain. Unfortunately, plastic also has its downsides; over time it can deteriorate. It would be a shame if you had to look for a new lounge set after just two years.
Cleaning garden cushions
If you want to maintain your all weather lounge set properly, it's important to pay attention not only to the frame, but also to the cushions. It's quite normal for a stain to appear from time to time, especially when you're enjoying food and drinks outside. That's why we recommend choosing cushions made from Sunbrella fabric. This fabric is not only practical, but also available in all sorts of colours and patterns, so you can furnish your lounge set to your own taste. We'd be happy to explain why Sunbrella fabric is our favourite!

This means you don't have to worry if an unexpected downpour comes or if something gets spilled; stains are super easy to clean!

Maintaining your all weather lounge set doesn't have to be complicated at all, especially not with the right materials such as an aluminium frame and Sunbrella fabric for the cushions. By cleaning regularly and following simple maintenance guidelines, you can enjoy your lounge set for years, regardless of the weather.
