Evaluate Your Outdoor Dining Space
Measure the dimensions of your outdoor dining area to determine how much space you have for a dining set. Consider the seating capacity you need and the flow of movement around the table. Decide on the style and shape of the dining furniture—whether you prefer a round table for intimate gatherings or a rectangular table for larger groups. Expandable, and even larger, extension tables offer the flexibility of adapting from smaller to larger sizes. Decide on a style that complements your outdoor décor, whether it is modern, traditional, or transitional. These considerations will help you choose pieces that fit well and suit your dining habits.

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.
