When choosing outdoor seating for areas with frequent rain, durability and weather resistance are key. The best materials include:

1. Teak Wood – Naturally resistant to moisture and rot, teak is a premium choice for outdoor furniture. Its high oil content repels water, making it ideal for rainy climates.

2. Aluminum – Lightweight yet sturdy, aluminum doesn’t rust and can withstand heavy rain. Powder-coated finishes add extra protection.

3. Polyethylene (PE) Rattan – Synthetic rattan is waterproof, UV-resistant, and mimics the look of natural wicker without the maintenance.

4. Stainless Steel – Rust-proof and strong, stainless steel is perfect for frames, especially when paired with weather-resistant cushions.

5. Marine-Grade Polymer – Designed for harsh conditions, this plastic is fade-resistant, waterproof, and easy to clean.

For cushions, opt for quick-dry foam and Sunbrella fabric to prevent mold and mildew. Regular maintenance, like covering furniture during storms, will extend its lifespan. Choose materials that balance aesthetics and resilience for a stylish, rain-ready outdoor space.
