• What is HDPE?

  HDPE is a plastic material. When making outdoor furniture, you may encounter the terms synthetic resin (you may find some garden furniture marked with "synthetic resin") and plastic. The meanings of these terms are almost the same: synthetic resin is the main component of plastics; Add additional fillers with these resins to make plastics. Since resin is the main component of plastics, plastics are usually referred to by its polymeric material name (such as HDPE).

• Is HDPE a good material for patio furniture?

  Yes! Several excellent outdoor furniture materials can withstand the test of many seasons year after year: teak, aluminum, steel, etc. However, we believe that the most durable material is high-density polyethylene (HDPE). 

  HDPE is a durable and weather resistant plastic, which can withstand rain, sunshine, cold, high temperature and wear in the backyard, while still keeping beautiful for many years. 

  Not only that, it can also be used for many fashionable outdoor designs of courtyard furniture.

• Can HDPE be waterproof?

  HDPE is waterproof, unlike wood, metal and other outdoor materials that may be damaged by rain and moisture (for example, wood expansion, metal rust). HDPE is non porous, which means it will not absorb water or moisture. Because of this property, it will not swell or crack like wood because of too much water. Because it is waterproof, HDPE has a high degree of mold and mold resistance.

• Whether HDPE outdoor furniture will fade?

  HDPE outdoor furniture is treated with ultraviolet ray suppression stabilizer to prevent fading of furniture in the sun. In addition, according to the manufacturing method of most HDPE outdoor furniture, the color of the material remains unchanged throughout the HDPE material. This makes it harder for the sun to fade the material. Therefore, HDPE courtyard furniture is very UV resistant.

• HDPE is very durable: it will not break, crack or break like wood.

  HDPE is one of the most durable outdoor materials. It is a material that is extremely difficult to damage, unlike solid wood. If it is not handled properly, it will break, crack, break or become brittle due to exposure to the outside. Due to its toughness, HDPE, like some other plastics or other materials used in garden furniture, has a high resistance to fracture or "abrasion".

  At some point, you may be worried about strong winds in your backyard or patio space. When this happens, the furniture moves or collapses due to the wind - your furniture may be damaged. However, HDPE outdoor furniture is usually used to make heavy outdoor furniture, but it will not be too heavy to move. For example, the weight varies according to the furniture. Therefore, if you expect strong wind in the backyard or outdoor living space, HDPE furniture will not move around.

  One of the great advantages of HDPE outdoor furniture is that it can really withstand almost any season, any climate, all year round and many years.

However, if possible, we recommend that you protect your furniture with a cover when not in use to ensure its service life.

• Are you worried about not having enough time and energy to maintain your outdoor furniture?
