We just bought a patio set which includes thick chair cushions. They say they have been treated to be water repellant. Do we need to move them every time it rains? What else should I do to protect the padding? Thanks.

The padding is also designed to be fast drying, but if it is going to rain Friday night or Saturday morning and you know you're going to use it Saturday afternoon, it might not dry fast enough for you.

Being water repellent and fast drying are certainly a help, but they still tend to get a bit dirty out there. If I'm not going to be using them during the work week, I take them in and put them back on the weekend. If you notice after a few months that they are not as water repellent as they were, you can buy a spray can of the repellent to renew.

national-office-furniture.com This website will help you find a better research on outdoor patio furniture sets. It features all outdoor patio ...

I cant afford outdoor furniture...I have looked every where and its so expensive (400 and up) is there anything else I can use for patio furniture...any ideas. We live in Oklahoma and I love the warm weather. Could I use a futon..or would it rust? If I brought the mattress in at the evenings...I feel bad that my family cant enjoy sitting outside, but at the moment we just don't have extra money for a patio set...i have even looked on craigslist and everyone that is selling theirs wants 350 and up for used stuff...any ideas at all would be helpful and please don't be rude

Whenever I go to Rite Aid or pretty much any drug store around here, they have those stackable resin chairs out front for like $10 each. They also have resin patio tables for about $30 and umbrellas for about $30. They also have powder coated metal frame with glass top end tables for about $20 each. If you want chaise lounges, people are selling those aluminum-framed with plastic webbing vintage ones on eBay for about $25 each.

For a larger area of shade, you can also find deals on about a 10 foot square easy-up for less than $50.

Regarding a futon, you could probably put one outside. But, with the humidity in Oklahoma, it may rust fairly quickly. Especially if you left it out in a rain or hailstorm. When you buy a futon mattress, however, it usually comes sealed in a plastic bag. I would leave this on the mattress for increased moistrure protection.

I want to purchase a rattan patio furniture set that is quality but not to expensive and I will be in Bangkok for one week in April can anyone suggest where i get can get some and get it shipped international?

You will probably pay double for the same product by the time you have it shipped; and the shipping might take more than a month. AND there would be no guarantee about damages.

I've bought some fairly good quality furniture here in the past five years, and it is expensive. Shipping fromt he US to here was ridiculous.

My wife and I just completed a total remake of our backyard. We ripped out everything, regraded, then re-sodded the lawn. It looks amazing. Now we want to put a nice patio furniture set out there. The question is though, will putting that out on the lawn kill the grass. I expect that it would kill whatever grass is right under the legs of the various pieces of furniture. However I don't know what it might do to the grass that's under the table/couch/etc... but doesn't actually have anything pressing down on it.

sounds like you've been bizzy in answer to you question yes the grass under garden furniture would die but if you just move it around every couple of days then all will be well you only need to move it a little just so that the legs are not resting on the same spot but you will have to continue moving it because lack of light will kill grass move it up lawn and then when you run out of room move it back down the lawn again

I want to get a bistro set for our front courtyard and I don't know which material to pick. I heard cast aluminum is rust resistant and lasts longer. However, I live in a very windy area, and I am afraid it won't be heavy enough. There's too much concrete going on in that area, so I don't want concrete furniture, either. Any opinions or suggestions?

Aluminium is much lighter than cast iron, but you would still need hurricane force winds to shift it. As long as the base of the table is as wide as the top, you shouldn't have any problem with the wind tipping it over. The aluminum is also much easier to move around for rearranging.
