Frequently Asked Questions
What furniture and lighting are suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Look for materials rated for outdoor use, such as powder-coated aluminium, teak, synthetic wicker, and UV-stabilised fabrics, along with IP-rated lighting designed to withstand rain and sun exposure.
How do I protect outdoor furniture from harsh Australian weather?
Choose weather-resistant materials from the outset, use furniture covers during extreme weather or off-season, and clean fabrics and frames regularly to prevent UV fading and salt or moisture damage in coastal areas.
What's the difference between IP-rated outdoor lights?
IP ratings indicate resistance to dust and water. IP44 suits covered outdoor areas like patios, while IP65 and above are needed for fully exposed areas subject to direct rain, such as gardens or entryways.
Can outdoor furniture stay outside all year round?
Many pieces are designed to, but even weather-resistant furniture benefits from periodic covering or storage during extreme heat, storms, or prolonged rain to extend its lifespan.
What outdoor furniture layouts work best for small courtyards or balconies?
Compact lounge sets, foldable tables, and stackable chairs are ideal for smaller outdoor spaces, allowing you to maximise seating without overcrowding the area.
