Metal porch furniture is certainly pretty, but it presents a particular problem, especially when the air is salty or close to the ocean. It rusts. Even when it’s rust treated and claims to be rust-resistant, exposure to the open air still presents deterioration problems. And, then there are the screws, frames, and hardware. The solution: high density plastic acrylic.
Bea Pile of B. Pile Design in Miami, Florida explains that clear high density plastic, acrylic furniture, which looks like glass, is “the darling of porch design. It’s extremely durable, offers a terrific contrast to traditional porch furniture, comes in lots of colors, and is widely available. Most of all, it’s virtually indestructible and requires very little maintenance. No other porch furniture material can make such a claim. And, really, who wants to clean and upkeep porch furniture?
