Although it looks and feels similar to natural rattan furniture, resin wicker utilizes updated materials such as UV stabilized polyethylene or uPVC to make it more durable and weatherproof as compared to natural rattan furniture. This type of material is popular for use in patio chairs and dining sets. It has become especially common to find resin wicker garden furniture in the last few years as people enjoy the comfort, price and durability.
Even if you never store your plastic wicker furniture and leave it out all year round you will find it will last eight or more years! The furniture is made with premium quality materials ensuring durability and longevity.
Your polyethylene wicker furniture is made with high quality material such as strong aluminum that will not rust and UV stabilized resin that will not fade or rot. There is no need to store your furniture over the cold winter months. We do suggest storing any cushions that come with your furniture as they are not weatherproof.

There are several reasons to choose the modern style of plastic rattan or resin wicker over the old style. Traditional rattan furniture was much less durable and could not be left outside. It would become brittle and dry. It often became discoloured and creaky over a short period of time. The newer rattan material is weatherproof and will stand up to any kind of weather.
