By: Sonya PercellWe can't wait for spring to get here, and say goodbye to those long, winter months! That means it may be time to replace our weather-beaten, decrepit outdoor patio furniture. Well, here's good news! Gone are the days when your choices were limited to only 2 or 3 options.
Patio furniture sets or lawn furniture comes in an unbelievable array of styles guaranteed to fit your particular needs and pocketbook. Cast aluminum furniture, wicker furniture sets, and decorative metal chairs or tables lend a beautiful, classic element to your outdoor area. Redwood or teak patio furniture is long-lasting and will weather the elements. Add to that the wildly popular Adirondack chairs, yard hammocks, chaise lounges, picnic tables and even bar stools for your outdoor kitchen or bar, and your choices become endless.
Perhaps you just need to replace your patio furniture cushions, or buy a new patio umbrella for your table. Those are available at many of your local neighborhood chain stores. Maybe you just want to dress up your patio or yard with some water features? Many large garden stores carry a vast array of fountains for every taste, from stone lions to wooden-look buckets and old-fashioned spigots. There are even water ponds that can be set up on your patio or deck, as well as in the yard. Maybe you'd like a garden bench or outdoor concrete statues to lend an elegance to your patio or lawn area.
On the opposite end, perhaps you'd like to have a fire pit to roast weiners and marshmallows with friends and family. These come in a variety of styles & prices as well. Gas or propane grills or cookers from the simple to the complex are available as well to fill anyone's dreams and pocketbook. Outdoor patio heaters, for those months when it's not quite warm enough, but you still want to enjoy the outdoors, are now quite affordable for anyone's budget.
Maybe you have a very small patio with no yard, such as those that come with apartments. If that is the case, you may want to invest in folding patio furniture or even plastic lawn furniture (which are both relatively inexpensive patio furniture types) that you can easily pack up and store during the winter months. Or...get whatever will fit on your patio and cover it up. One way to greatly increase the life of your patio furniture, wherever you live, is to invest in patio furniture covers. The cost is minimal compared to the cost of replacing your lawn furniture every couple of years or so.
As you can see, there are lawn furniture options to fit every taste and budget. From the more expensive but long-lasting teak outdoor furniture to the relatively cheap & inexpensive plastic lawn furniture, you are sure to find something that works for you.
