How to choose
What we’d tell a friend before they buy. Take the numbers with you — or bring them in and we’ll walk the floor with you.
- 01
Frame first, cushions second
Powder-coated aluminum won't rust and is light to move. Teak and other dense hardwoods weather to a silver grey unless oiled. Resin wicker looks warm and handles Ohio weather well on a covered porch.
- Aluminum: low maintenance, light
- Teak: heavy, long-lived, weathers to silver
- Steel: sturdy, but watch for chips that rust
- 02
Cushions that dry fast
Look for solution-dyed outdoor fabric and quick-dry foam. Even the best cushions last longer if they come inside — or into a storage box — through winter.
- Stand cushions on edge after rain
- Breathable covers beat plastic tarps
- Spot clean with mild soap and water
- 03
Plan the season
A fire table stretches patio season into October and starts it again in April. Check your deck material and the manufacturer's clearance requirements before you set one down.
- Keep fire features clear of overhangs and siding
- Use a cover between uses
- Wind guards keep the flame steady
