4 Vital Features to Look for in Patio Furniture Sets

When looking at prospective patio furniture sets for your home, there is something you will probably be quick to catch onto; not all patio sets are created equal. Patio furniture is made from an array of different materials and formed in many diverse shapes, sizes, and finishes. While all of the characteristics having to do with size and color may differ from set to set, the main aspects of large patio sets remain fairly consistent. Here are the four essential pieces you should consider buying when purchasing large outdoor furniture for your patio.

Individual Seating

Large patio furniture sets are usually purchased for those homes that have a decent amount of people frequenting their patio. This could mean you have a large sized family, or perhaps you are a frequent entertainer. Either way it is a must to provide two different types of seating. Many, but not all patio sets come with 2 kinds of seats: sofa style and 1-2 stand-alone seats. Giving you and your guests the option to sit in their own seat is a must. These types of seats can come in many different forms including sofa styled club chairs, bar styled seats, or rocking and reclining chairs.  Not all large outdoor furniture sets have individual seating options, so it is important to take this into consideration and ask a store expert before purchasing your set.

Multiple Person Seating

As we mentioned above, there are two styles of seating that all large patio furniture sets must have. The second and equally as important style is multiple person seating. The best part about determining which type of multi-person seating is the best option for your needs is the variety of size, style and models you have to choose from. Multi-person seating can range from a two person mini sofa to a large outdoor sectional. The important thing to remember is that multi-person seating allows for more people to relax outside on your patio than would be able if your patio only consisted of individual seating.

Table

While having multiple forms of seating options is must, the seating would feel incomplete without a central focal point, (and somewhere to put that ice cold margarita!) This is why tables are one of the most important aspects of patio furniture sets. As with seating, tables can come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the feel that you are looking to instill into your patio. If your patio design is one that will be used quite often for small parties involving Hors d’oeuvres and drinks then a larger slightly higher table might be more convenient and comfortable for your guests. If your patio space is mostly utilized for relaxing outside, then a smaller table that you can comfortably prop your feet on might be a better idea. Either way, it is vastly important that you are sure the set you purchase comes with a matching table. If it doesn’t, be sure to find a table you can buy separately that matches your collection style.

Cover

One last piece of equipment that you are going to need for your outdoor furniture set is a protective cover. You should always cover your patio furniture during the winter months when the patio is not being utilized. However, many people forget about the sun, which can do just as much, if not more damage then moisture. If you have a enclosed or covered patio, then you are already covered and no additional accessories are needed. However, if you do not have a covered patio, then there are several things you can look for to help with sun protection. One of these options is purchasing your patio sets, fitted cover. These covers are great for not only the sun but also winter protection as well. If you don’t have a cover and buying one now is out of the question you are in luck! Even just a little big of shade will do, the cover does not have to be huge, a patio umbrella will suffice if need be. Regardless of size, you should be sure to have at least one form of cover for your patio.

Patio furniture sets are one of the best ways to enhance the experience of your patio.

This is why it is important to properly take care of your patio and patio furniture! Here are three patio accessories that you will definitely need during the upcoming summer months.

1.    Patio Umbrellas

When you think about the job of patio umbrellas, you probably think about the protection they provide you from the sun, and you are right! That is what they are supposed to do, but it doesn’t just end there. Patio umbrellas are as great of a source of shade for your patio furniture as they are for you. The shade provided by patio umbrellas during the summer can help prevent weathering of your outdoor furniture. Learn about all the different types of patio umbrellas we have!

2.    Furniture Covers

When patio umbrellas don’t offer enough shade space for your furniture and you do not have a covered patio, consider purchasing patio covers. Often times people only think to cover their patio furniture during rainy and cold months but covering your patio furniture during the summer will protect it from the harsh sun which can do just as much damage as rain and snow. Another bonus to patio covers is when it comes time to enjoy your furniture, the frame and materials will be cool enough for immediate use.

3.    Protective Cleaner

Patio umbrellas and furniture covers are often the first things that are thought of when preparing your outdoor furniture for the summer heat. Protective cleaner on the other hand is frequently forgotten. What if you could have sunscreen for your patio furniture? There is a protective cleaner for that! These cleaners are one of the most simple, yet efficient ways at protecting patio furniture during the summer.

Most Important Features of Patio Umbrellas

Patio Umbrella Features

The temperatures are beginning to warm up and summer is only getting closer and closer. This means that now is the perfect time to purchase a patio umbrella! Patio umbrellas are one of the most essential items to have for those people who spend a lot of time outside in those hot summer months. However, not all patio umbrellas are made equal. Different umbrellas have different features, so it is important to know which features are needed for you! Here is a look at the most important features of patio umbrellas that you should look for when buying.

Frame

Frames are important because of the differences in durability and design. The two main types of frames are wood and various forms of metal. Both of these types have their own unique benefits. While wooden frames can be more stylish depending on the design, metal frames usually last longer.

Tilt

The tilt style of an umbrella is something that must be looked at before a purchase is made. Tilting is very significant because it allows the user to get a more customized shade area depending on how they tilt the umbrella at any given time. There are various forms of tilting styles such as push-button tilt, auto/crank tilt, and collar tilt. Each of these styles has their own unique benefits.

 Lift

Lifting styles are another important aspect of patio umbrellas that need to be looked at. These styles come in two different options: crank lifts and pulley lifts. Crank lifts are generally used for heavier, more complex umbrellas, while pulley lifts are used for more standard umbrellas.

 Shade

The main reason why anyone purchases a patio umbrella in the first place is for the shade it provides! When buying an umbrella for your patio, make sure that you select one that can maximize the shade output. Take a look at the degree of tilting that the umbrella can manage as well as the size of the umbrella in general.

There is not much in life that is better than relaxing in the shade underneath an umbrella in the backyard on a warm summer day. Take a look at these four features the next time that you purchase a patio umbrella in order to buy one that is best for you!

Ask any homeowner about which season of the year that their patio furniture gets used the most and they will tell you the summer! After months of cold weather have passed, people are eager to get outside and relax on their patio in the warm air. This is why having your patio furniture purchased and ready to go before the spring hits is a great idea. Here are a few other great reasons why now is the best time to purchase your patio furniture.

 

1. Less Current Demand

In some areas of the country, spring can often still be pretty cold. Warmer temperatures don’t necessarily arrive until the date on the calendar inches closer to those summer months. Because of this, people often do not think about purchasing their patio furniture until a little later in the year. Now is the time that you might be able to find better deals than if you were wait for a few months!

 

2. Memorial Day Effect

Memorial Day is known to all as the unofficial start of the summer. With kids being out of school and generally more family time being spent at home, patio furniture is most likely to see a spike in sales. With more people purchasing their furniture around Memorial Day, there is a greater chance that the specific piece that you want for your backyard may either be unavailable, or listed at a higher price than usual.

 

3. Take Advantage of the Spring

As we pointed out earlier, there are many areas in the U.S. that are still relatively cold in the springtime. However, if that is not indicative of the area that you live in, then one additional benefit of purchasing your patio accessories now is the extra time that you can utilized them! Purchasing your patio furniture now allows you to more fully take advantage of the spring weather.

 

Patio furniture is terrific to have regardless of the time of the year. However, now is the best time to buy. Have any questions about how to design your patio or which pieces of furniture to buy? We can help, just  comment below or contact us through Twitter, Facebook, or at 877-930-7070!

Two Most Popular Types of Patio Furniture Sets

Posted on by

Patio Furniture Sets

Patio furniture sets are often underrated. Many people collect patio furniture throughout the years, swapping in new pieces when others start to show their age. This leads to a montage of miss matched patio furniture and a huge patio eye sore. Consistent style and design of your furniture is much easier on the eyes than not having any uniformity at all. Furniture sets help homeowners to achieve a consistent and stylish look while containing all of the pieces of furniture that are necessary for a patio. However, there are various different types of patio furniture sets that can be purchased for your backyard. Here is a look at the two most popular patio furniture sets that you should look to for your patio!

 

Dining Sets

Patio dining sets are most effective for people who enjoy eating meals outside on a regular basis. These sets generally come with four chairs and a small table. Depending on the size of the group who usually eats with you, dining sets can increase in table size and the number of chairs. Another very popular option of dining sets is umbrellas. These umbrellas sit on top of the table and help to reduce sunlight and keep you and your company cool.

Conversation Sets

Conversational patio seating is much more relaxed and comfortable than dining sets. These sets usually have a two-seated sofa chair or love seat, as well as a couple more sofa chairs, plus a small coffee table or set of ottomans. Conversation sets are targeted more for those people who like to relax outside rather than eat meals outside.

Overall, patio furniture sets are not limited to dining and conversation sets. There are several other options as well including sectional sets and bistro styled dining. If you are having a hard time deciding which type of patio furniture you would like best, we welcome you to ask us any questions via the comments below or through our Facebook or Twitter. Furthermore, testing out different types of patio furniture is sometimes the best way to really understand what you are looking for. You can do this at any of our Arizona, Valley wide locations.

Patio Cushion Replacement | Why Going Cheap isn’t Worth it

Posted on by

Patio Furniture Cushion Replacement

One dilemma that many patio furniture owners face comes when their patio cushions need to be replaced. This decision comes at a crossroads that is more difficult to navigate than most people think. Many question whether buying expensive replacement cushions is worth the money, or if going with the cheaper ones is the better option. In most cases, the cheaper cushions are the ones that get called upon to do the job. However, this may not be the best decision. Here are a few reasons why you should avoid going too cheap on your patio furniture cushion replacement.

Uncomfortable

Relaxing outside in comfort is one of the main reasons why people have outdoor furniture in the first place. Replacing your old cushions with cheap ones eliminates this factor. Many cheap furniture cushions are hard, scratchy, and rough. This roughness and hardness may not seem too bad at first, but after a while you will feel more like you are sitting on a hard chair than a comfortable piece of patio furniture.

Less Likely to Match Patio Design

The cheaper patio cushions are, the less variability of design will be available. Most of the cheap cushion options come in generic colors and many come without fabric designs. By spending just a little bit more, your cushions will be able to look more in tune with the rest of your patio design.

Not Durable

The biggest reason not to go cheap with your cushions is that they are not durable! Cheaper cushions do not handle harsh weather too well. The sun, rain, or other weather elements can make these cushions crack, wear, and tear very easily. In order for patio cushions to be able to take the wear and tear of all kinds of weather elements, their fabrics need to be sturdy and fade resistant. It is also important though, to understand that patio cushions should never be left out in the harsh elements when they are not being used, or when the seasons change.

Here at All American, we use only quality foam and Dacron fill to provide the most comfortable feeling for your cushions. Additionally, we implement Sunbrella Acrylic Cotton fabrics that allow for very strong cushion durability and long life expectancy.
