High-end patio furniture can last 15+ years. Some will last longer, some less, but there’s no firm timeline. Your patio furniture will last until the elements break it down—this depends on maintenance, materials, and climate.
Different climates have a direct effect on how long your patio furniture will last; The arid environments of the Southwest have a lot of hot sunlight; therefore, UV protection and furniture covers are necessary. Moreover, humid climates along the coastlines make your furniture absorb a lot of moisture; protective coatings are an essential feature.
DIFFERENT MATERIALS, DIFFERENT LIFETIME
Besides quality, frame material is another really important factor in determining your furniture’s lifespan. It is no secret that wrought iron can last longer than wood (in most cases). But there are a plethora of choices, and each one has its own unique qualities.
