Thinking about upgrading your outdoor space? Whether you’re planning for a cozy balcony or a full backyard transformation, choosing the right patio furniture can be overwhelming. From materials and maintenance to style and storage, there’s a lot to consider.

This comprehensive Patio Furniture FAQ will answer the most common questions homeowners ask before making a purchase. Whether you’re wondering what materials last longest outdoors, how to clean outdoor cushions, or what size furniture fits your space best, we’ve got you covered.

1. What is the best material for outdoor patio furniture? The best patio furniture materials are weather-resistant and durable, such as all-weather wicker, powder-coated aluminum, and teak wood. Ohana Depot uses hand-woven resin wicker and rust-proof aluminum frames for long-lasting quality.

2. How do I choose the right size patio furniture for my space? Measure your outdoor area, then consider how many people you want to seat. For small spaces, opt for compact or modular sets. For larger patios, combo sets allows flexibility and extra seating. Leave about 3 feet of clearance around dining sets or lounge chairs for movement. 

3. Are Sunbrella cushions good for outdoor use? Yes, Sunbrella cushions are fade-resistant, water-repellent, and mildew-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor furniture cushions that need to withstand sun and rain.

4. How do I maintain and clean my outdoor furniture? Regularly wipe down furniture with mild soap and water, and clean removable cushion covers as instructed. Protect cushions during heavy rain by storing or covering them.

5. What are the benefits of modular patio furniture? Modular furniture offers flexibility to rearrange seating for different occasions and easy expansion over time, making it a great investment for adaptable outdoor living.

6. Do I need to assemble patio furniture myself? Most of our furniture does not require assembly. It comes fully assembled where you simply unbox and place the cushions to start enjoying right away. Dining table and fire table require minimal assembly.

7. Can I buy replacement cushions or parts? Yes, Ohana Depot offers replacement cushions and parts designed to fit your furniture exactly. Check our Replacement Cushions page for options.

8. How long does outdoor patio furniture last? With proper care, high-quality outdoor furniture like Ohana Depot’s can last 5 to 15 years or more. Many of our customers are still enjoying their furniture well after 9-10 years.

9. Do you offer free shipping? Yes, Ohana Depot provides free shipping on most orders within the contiguous U.S.
