Outdoor furniture refers to any type of furniture that is specifically designed and intended for use in outdoor spaces. This includes items such as chairs, tables, benches, swings, hammocks, and other seating or decorative pieces that are made from weather-resistant materials and can withstand exposure to the elements, including sunlight, rain, wind, and temperature changes. Outdoor furniture is often made of durable materials such as metal, plastic, wicker, or teak wood, and may feature features such as waterproof cushions, umbrellas, or covers to protect from weather damage. The purpose of outdoor furniture is to provide comfortable and functional seating areas in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, gardens, pool areas, and other exterior living spaces.
