wicker furniture?

Question

My daughter bought a wicker set to be used outside her home. Has a dark finish on the set, and comes with a red puffy cushion on the loveseat. 2 chairs, loveseat and a table. Is there any reason she can't use this in her yard? She thought maybe there was some kind of spray that might waterproof it for use in the yard. What would you suggest?

Or, would she be better off putting the whole set on her porch? There is a metal roof over the porch, tho 3 sides are open.

Answer 1

I would most definetly put it under roof. Wicker splits very easily when it get wet. If she paints it she would have to spray it in order to get in all the cracks and crevices of the wicker. She should also never, never, leave wicker out in the winter time as it gets brittle and cracks and splits and then she is out the money.I learned the hard way about wicker. I have two sets.

Answer 2

wicker furniture is best used in a covered area especially if it has cushions on the seats. there are sprays that can improve the durability of the wicker, but it doesn't last long.

Answer 3

I would put it under the porch. I don`t think wicker will last long exposed to the elements. It`s meant more for conservatories.

Answer 4

The sole purpose of wicker furniture is for nervous guests to unravel it, leaving small piles of what looks like pencil-shavings on the floor...

Answer 5

Wicker cannot be used where it is exposed to rain. Keep in porch.

Answer 6

It can be used outside just don't leave the cushions outside, animals might get into them.. You can use a spray sealant and let it dry...
