It’s starting to be that time of year when we want to spruce up our outdoor areas to prepare for grilling, pool time and gardening.
What are your thoughts? Comfort, style, look and size for your patio area?
When gathering your ideas, think about durability most of all for longevity. Always remember you need to be cautious when placing outdoor furniture. Indoor furniture can’t withstand the elements of rain, wind and stains. You truly need the outdoor-built table, chairs, etc.
Just because they say it’s a Sunbrella fabric doesn’t make it durable enough to withstand the outdoors. Sunbrella is a great fabric to avoid fading but doesn’t withstand all other things. Make sure you do your homework when visiting these ideas.
Hooker Furniture makes great outdoor furniture. They have all you could want with look, style and comfort.
Stop in Ford’s today to view the Hooker line – we have a catalog full!
