Synthetic Rattan Sofa Set: Perfect for Extended Use in Rainy Conditions
Evershine outdoor recommends synthetic rattan made from polyethylene or polypropylene materials for outdoor rattan garden sets. Situated under a patio, the rattan can be left unattended in rainy conditions, or used in outdoor lounge areas. Depending on the conditions, the rattan can be used for extended periods without any negative consequences. Using high-density polyethylene synthetic rattan, as well as the 3-seater rattan sofa sets, can cause water to bead, instad of soaking through, on the surface, in addition to be waterproof. This sets the expectation for fast usage after a rainy day, as the sofa set should dry quickly.
Synthetic Rattan Sofa Sets Maintain Their Quality Over Time
Natural rattan is not suited for extended rainy weather use outdoors. Since it is made of plant fibers, it is also prone to damage. After absorbing moisture, rattan will swell, become brittle, then rot. Protective treatments will only delay moisture exposure but will not last forever. The moisture will get to the rattan eventually. Evershine advises against using natural rattan outdoors in rainy weather. If you already have a natural rattan sofa set, keep it in the rain to avoid damage. Storing the set in a covered porch or patio will keep it safe. If you expect rain, store it inside. Only synthetic rattan will perform well in rainy conditions.
Add Protective Features to Improve Surviving Rainy Conditions
There will also be protective treatments that can help your synthetic rattan sofa set survive in rainy weather for a longer period of time.
Evershine Outdoor suggests keeping your sofa set covered when not in use to avoid excess moisture. Try to use a heavy-duty waterproof cover that fits snugly and has ventilation pores. For open sofas, rain can be minimized by installing a small awning or patio umbrella. Evershine Outdoor sells synthetic rattan sofa sets with raised legs, allowing for moisture to be kept off the ground, and controlling any puddles forming underneath. All of these small adjustments will help keep the rattan sofa set for a long time in rainy outdoor environments. Rainy areas require regular maintenance of the synthetic rattan sofa set if you want to keep it in good condition. After a heavy rain, take a dry cloth and wipe the rattan surface dry to remove moisture. This will keep dust and any moisture off the sofa to keep staining to a minimum.
To keep dirt from piling up on your rattan sofa set, clean it every two to three months using mild soapy water and a soft brush. Rain can wash dirt into the rattan gaps and dirty the set, so keeping it clean helps reduce discoloration over time. If your sofa set has cushions that are not water-resistant, take them indoors to protect your furniture during the rain. Evershine Outdoor’s synthetic rattan sofa sets often come with water-resistant cushions, but remember to dry them if they get wet. Basic care and maintenance keeps your sofa set in great condition, and helps it last longer.
