Wicker Patio Table

wicker patio table, outdoor coffee table,outdoor patio table

We have used this wicker patio table on our screened in porch for 10 years. It is not outside so our wicker furniture rarely gets wet unless it is raining really hard with lots of wind.

But we do keep it on our porch year round.

We hose it off with water to remove dust and the yellow pollen every spring and maybe once or twice in the summer.

When we updated our porch with beadboaord on the porch ceiling and new paint, we started looking for new outdoor wicker furniture.

After going to several stores and experiencing some serious sticker shock, we decided that we still liked our "old" furniture best.

So we simply spray painted the white wicker and re-covered the cushions with outdoor fabric.

Since we purchased our wicker furniture many years ago, there is a new generation of all-weather resin wicker that looks just like real wicker.

This material is maintenance free and you can freely hose it off to keep it clean.

Be sure to ask if the wicker furniture is using an aluminum or a steel frame. A steel frame will rust and an aluminum one will not.

Real wicker that is left in the sun will dry out the wicker, making brittle and prone to breaking. Moisture or water can warp the frame and after several years of exposure to water, the wicker may rot.

Outdoor Coffee Table

If you are looking for an outdoor coffee table an all-weather wicker is a good choice of material.

It is made from resin which is a synthetic material that can be formed into what looks like real wicker.

This type of outdoor wicker can be left outside, and some manufacturers will state that it can be left outside year-round - just be sure it has an aluminum frame.

The dye color is mixed right into the resin, so that there is no peeling or flaking of paint.
