Patio Furniture: Cleaning It, Caring For It, and Nominating It

By , About.com GuideJanuary 31, 2012

February is a good time to start thinking about your outdoor patio furniture. Like, is that old rump-sprung vinyl-strap chair beyond repair? Maybe it's time to consider a new piece, or a whole set, for that matter. In the patio world -- casual furniture market -- who's who and who makes what?

On the topic of outdoor patio furniture, I've sought and answered a couple of questions, like, what is marine-grade plywood and what is shorea wood? Along the way, I've learned the history of metal lawn furniture and how to care for wood garden furniture.

Don't forget to nominate your favorite outdoor patio furniture brands in the About.com 2012 Readers' Choice Awards, along with six other pool and patio-related categories.
