Low Maintenance and Perfect For Australia

From the delicate weaving to the beautiful shapes, natural wicker furniture is undeniably lovely to look at. When it comes to holding up to harsh sunlight, high temperatures, rain and dust — not so lovely. That’s where PE wicker outdoor furniture comes in. As beautiful as natural wicker furniture but low maintenance, sturdily constructed and able to withstand almost anything the environment can dish out, our PE wicker furniture is perfect for Australia.

Why Our Wicker Furniture Is the Best for Australia

Natural materials like wicker, rattan and lightweight woods gained popularity for patio and garden settings due to their attractive look and relative lightness, which made them easy to move when you inevitably had to get them out of the sun, rain or wind. The problem with outdoor furniture made from natural materials, however, is that these pieces are notoriously high-maintenance and vulnerable to the elements.

Heat and bright sunlight can warp or crack natural materials and fade finishes, while dust and rain can erode painted or lacquered finishes and weaken the structure. And don’t even think about hosing dirt off a wicker chair or rattan lounger and calling it a day -- it’s just not happening. PE wicker furniture, on the other hand, is engineered with everything that makes natural wicker furniture so vulnerable to the elements in mind. It’s made to stand up to heat, sunlight, water and dust, which makes it the best choice for outdoor furniture in Australia.

What Makes Our Wicker Furniture Special

Our wicker furniture starts with a lightweight but sturdy aluminium frame to give each wicker chair, lounge or table a great ‘skeleton’ that will not warp or weaken if it’s left in the sun or drenched by a shower. Next, strips of flat PE are hand woven onto the frame to create a look that’s so similar to natural wicker, you won’t be able to tell it apart, at least not by sight. As soon as you leave it outdoors for a few months or need to move, clean or store your outdoor furniture, the difference will be clear.

PE wicker is UV resistant, so leaving it in the bright sunlight is no worry, and neither is letting it get wet. The strong but light construction means it moves and stores easily, and cleaning is even easier. Just a spray from the hose and a light scrub with some gentle soap is enough to wash away dirt and leaves, without any worries about damaging the finish or causing warping.

Natural materials have a certain appeal; they’re certainly traditional and authentic. However, PE wicker looks so good and is so practical that you’ll wonder why you ever hesitated to invest in it. It’s more comfortable, easier to care for and longer lasting than wood or natural wicker, so why not take the leap?
