Outdoor Accessories - FAQs

1. What kind of products are in the Outdoor Accessories range?
   The range covers the smaller pieces that finish an outdoor setting rather than the furniture itself: seat and bench cushions cut to fit specific chairs and loungers, clip on parasols for sun loungers, tailored furniture covers in several sizes, and freestanding resin screens such as the Komodo EcoWall and Sipario partition walls that add privacy or a planter trough to a courtyard or balcony. Most items are made to fit a named Nardi or Pebl piece rather than sold as generic one size fits all accessories, so checking the product title against the furniture you already own matters more here than in most categories.
2. Are the seat cushions made to fit a specific chair?
   Yes, most of them. The Nardi Net Chair Cushion is cut to fit the Nardi Net Chair specifically, and the Folio Outdoor Chair Cushion is shaped to fit the Nardi Folio reclining armchair rather than a generic seat. Buying the cushion named for your exact chair model is what keeps it sitting flush on the frame instead of slipping or hanging over the edge. If you are not certain which chair you have, check the model name on the original furniture listing or contact us before ordering, since a close size is not the same as a matched fit.
3. What fabric are the outdoor cushions made from?
   It varies by cushion. The Nardi Net Chair Cushion uses a washable, fade-resistant outdoor fabric available in nine colourways. The Rettangolare bolster cushion is filled with polyester fibre and is offered in Sunbrella fabric or Nardi's own acrylic, depending on the colour chosen. Sunbrella and acrylic outdoor fabrics are both chosen for the same reason across the range: they resist fading and moisture better than an indoor fabric would, and most covers are removable for washing rather than needing dry cleaning or replacement.
4. How is the clip on parasol for sun loungers attached?
   It clips directly onto the head end of the sun lounger frame rather than needing its own stand or base. Once fitted it sits over the headrest to shade the face and shoulders of whoever is lying down, and it is made to fit the Nardi Alfa, Omega, Eden and Tropico sun loungers specifically. The frame is UV treated polypropylene and the shade itself is a breathable synthetic fabric, so it holds its shape and colour under sun exposure rather than a lightweight fabric that would sag or fade quickly.
5. What size is the Nardi Net Chair Cushion?
   It measures 48.5cm wide by 46.5cm deep, with a thickness of 3.5cm, and it is cut specifically to sit on the Nardi Net Chair without slipping or overhanging the frame. That thickness is enough to soften the perforated resin seat for longer sitting without changing the seat height noticeably. The cover is removable and washable, so the cushion can be taken off for cleaning between uses rather than needing to be sponged in place, and it is offered in nine different colourways to match different chair finishes.
6. What is the Nardi Komodo EcoWall used for?
   It is a modular resin screen designed by Raffaello Galiotto for the Komodo furniture system, built to add privacy and shelter around a lounge setting rather than as a decorative extra. It carries a built in planter trough, so it can double as a small garden bed along the top edge, and the panels stack up to three modules high to build a taller screen where more privacy is needed. It clips directly to Komodo modules to divide or enclose a seating area, sharing the same interlaced resin weave used across the rest of the Komodo collection.
7. What is the Nardi Sipario partition screen made from?
   The Sipario screens are moulded from regenerated, recycled fibreglass reinforced resin rather than virgin plastic or timber, as part of Nardi's Regeneration line. The Sipario 3 is a freestanding three-module lattice partition screen with a built in planter trough, standing over two metres tall for genuine privacy along a boundary or around a pool pump or bin area. Because it is freestanding rather than fixed to a wall or post, it can be moved as a courtyard or garden layout changes, without any permanent building work.
8. Which furniture cover size do I need for stacked chairs?
   It depends on how many chairs or which pieces you are covering. The Nardi Small Outdoor Furniture Cover is sized to fit four to six stacked chairs or one Komodo module, while the Nardi Large cover steps up to two Komodo modules or a 140cm dining table. Each cover is supplied in a dark neutral smoke grey with webbing straps that hold it in place through wind and weather, rather than a loose sheet that can blow off. Match the cover to the specific furniture count listed in its title rather than guessing by eye.
9. Are the furniture covers waterproof?
   The Nardi covers in this range are described as tailored and water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, and they are built to keep rain, dust, leaves and UV off furniture between uses rather than to survive being left on permanently in every condition. Slipping a cover on when the setting is not in use is described as materially extending the life of the furniture underneath. Covers should only be fitted once the furniture is clean and dry, since sealing moisture in against a damp cushion or frame causes more harm than leaving it uncovered.
10. How do I clean the outdoor cushions in this range?
    Sponge the fabric with water and a mild detergent, then let it dry fully in the shade before putting it back on the chair or storing it. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach and abrasive pads on outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella or Nardi acrylic, since they can strip the colour or the weather resistant coating. Covers on several of the cushions are removable, so they can be taken off and washed separately rather than cleaned in place. Storing cushions in the shade rather than direct sun also helps limit the slight colour variation that is natural with yarn dyed acrylic fabric.
11. What is the difference between the Rettangolare and Passepartout cushions?
    They are two different bolster style cushions in the same Nardi range, sized differently rather than being the same product in different fabrics. The Rettangolare measures 50cm wide by 28.5cm deep and 13.5cm thick, described as a slimmer rectangular shape that works as a lumbar or back support. The Passepartout is a larger cushion at 50cm wide, 48cm deep and 16cm thick. Both use a polyester fibre filling and are offered in either Sunbrella fabric or Nardi's own acrylic depending on the colourway chosen, so check the exact dimensions against the seat you are cushioning.
12. Are these accessories made by Nardi in Italy?
    Many of them are. Nardi branded pieces in this range, including the Net Chair Cushion and the clip on parasols, are manufactured by Nardi in Italy, a company the product copy notes has been producing outdoor furniture since 1966. The Komodo and Sipario resin screens are also part of Nardi's own collections, with the Sipario range specifically moulded from regenerated recycled resin as part of its Regeneration line. Some covers and cushions in the accessories range are sold under other names rather than the Nardi brand, so check the product title if brand origin matters to your purchase.
