All-weather wicker outdoor furniture: everything you need to know

All-weather wicker utilizes synthetic, weatherproof materials instead of traditional wicker. Rather than natural rattan or woven plant fibers, fibers like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or resin wicker are specially formulated to resist fading, cracking, and other damage from exposure to sun, rain, and extreme temperatures.

Unlike traditional wicker, which requires regular maintenance and protection from the elements, all-weather wicker is designed for lasting durability outdoors with minimal upkeep. The result mimics the classic woven appearance of natural wicker while providing superior weather resistance and longevity.
