I need a paint that will hold up to chipping and fading in a wet climate for an outdoor aluminum patio table. I want it to match some chairs that were purchased from a different set.

Use Rustoleum. It holds up well outdoors. Here is the link for more info.

My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?

Thanks!

yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.

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 recently purchased a dark wooden patio set, and unsure of how to maintain it. The wood was treated with linseed oil, now do I remove the linseed oil and and seal it with a product, or do I just leave it? I am not too sure if we'll be able to put the patio furniture away in the winter, so it might be stuck outside all winter! Also, i don't want the sun to strip to much of my colour, can anyone help? The following link is for the smaller version of my table, please look at the bistro table, and picture mine double the size... thanks in advance :)

Just wanted to add, the furniture is not teak :( I wish I could afford that!

Dont remove the inseed oil! It will protect your setting from weather! Just re-oil it every season, it will bring the colour out and look like new each year. cheers :)

So I have a screened in porch with a roof but I live in Mass so we get some pretty bad weather and snow and rain do get in if it's windy. My husband and I went to Pier one and we mixed and matched a great patio set with pillows, a loveseat, table, small table everything, it was perfect and in our price range........only to find out it was mostly indoor stuff!! They had all their outdoor furniture and indoor wicker/cushions mixed together and not separated. it was quite frustrating..
anyways, has anyone used indoor wicker on a porch?

That Pier One for you.

I have not tried putting inside furniture outside, but do have some suggestions, if they are not returnable.

You may want to spray the wicker with aerosol polyeurethane, or any weatherproof clear finish that can be sprayed.

I am also worried about the waterproof-ness of any adhesives used in the construction of the frame. If it is screwed nicely together, you may be safe.
