Measure Your Space and Determine Your Style
Start by measuring your balcony or outdoor area to understand the space you have for a bar or balcony set. Consider how many people you typically entertain and how much room you need for seating and movement. Decide on a style that complements your outdoor décor, whether it is modern, traditional, or transitional. Think about the height of the set—taller bar height seats and tables, or slightly lower balcony height sets for a more relaxed vibe.

Choose Weather-Resistant Materials
South Florida's climate is characterized by high humidity, strong sunlight, and frequent rain, so it is essential to select furniture made from materials that can withstand these conditions. The proximity to salt water makes the air more corrosive in our coastal environment. Opt for rust-resistant frames made from aluminum, marine-grade polymer, and/or recycled poly. Welded frames and/or stainless-steel hardware should also be mandatory. Select quality outdoor-grade fabrics like Sunbrella or other 100% acrylic solution-dyed weaves which are known for their durability and resistance to fading. By following those general guidelines, you can ensure long-lasting comfort and appearance, and make a wise investment in your furniture.
