Default Any ideas or suggestions on furniture for Lanai?

Anyone have suggestions or idea for furniture for my Lanai? Do you find you get a lot of water in there? Most of what I have seen is the wicker furniture, and they are okay but I don't really love them so looking for some ideas on something else. I am okay moving cushions inside but do not want to have to move any furniture inside.


All ideas and suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Google Berlin Gardens outdoor furniture. Very good warranty durable all types of weather and fun colors. Like this particular brand because not as many visible screws as some recycled materials furniture. It's been our go to outdoor furniture for years.

Furniture depends on, how big is your lanai, is it enclosed or just screen in and what would you like to do there?

Lanai is 14'4" x 8'4". It is screened in and I would like to be able to sit out there and enjoy the weather when not too hot. Might even install a TV on the wall of the house.

For outdoor furniture cushions, I have had good luck with Sunbrella brand fabric not fading. But there might be other fabric brands now that do just as well. Sunbrella brand has been around for a long time.

As far as furniture goes, that wicker-esque stuff seems almost indestructible. It can be a practical choice. No maintenance required.

I have a table with chairs that have wooden arm pieces — and I never quite got around to putting some kind of stain on them and now those handles are a dingy gray. (Ug, but I will keep them anyway. I like the set. The chairs swivel and rock and do not have cushions, just that sturdy, tightly woven stuff that dries fast.)

Have fun shopping. It is all so pretty.

Screen lanais can get pretty wet and they do get VERY dirty. I don't know why, but our outdoors is always needing to be cleaned.

I love to look at pictures of just what you are looking for. Do not overlook the furniture sold at Home Depot and Lowes, although this is the end of season for a lot of it. And also true of Walmart. They have enormous buying power to get good things and good prices.

Anyway, I love when people are going to decorate. Hope you find just the thing. What colors will you use in your home?

Beautiful screened in lanai furniture pictures. - Bing images

I used Costco as they have good return policy if you don’t like what they send you. 2 wicker-like, mold resistant, reclinable chairs with pull out stools and Sunbrella fabric for cushions which is also used for golf carts in the rain, a matching wicker table. I have a glass stand for the 43” tv which is portable so I can take it inside (by myself) if it rains too much.

We went to all of the local outdoor furniture stores (Leisure Living, Coral Casual, Palm Casual) but we ended up buying everything at Perfect Porch.

We have a lot of furniture (4 rocking lounge chairs with padded seats, 4 foot stools, 2 metal tables, and a table with four chairs) and they were all made by a company Windward Designs. We also have two rocking lounge chairs and two footstools and one table on a patio in front of our house, and two wicker chairs inside of our house.

We got this outdoor furniture five years ago and we love it.

True! Plenty of dust, pollen and moisture blows right through those screens and onto your furniture. Best way to enjoy your lanai year round is to have sliders or windows with screens. It can be expensive to do this but it will give you year-round living space in the brightest area of your house.

HDPE "Amish" furniture. You can buy much of this on line. No need to buy locally unless you want to.

As I add it up we've got over 3,500.00 Worth of this stuff. Since the 'lumber' is made at one of two plants in the US it all matches.

The Adirondack chairs available from Costco on line for 169.00 are a great start. Amazon has Pollywood brand or buy directly from them. RJ Gators outdoor patio sets are Pollywood brand. They sell sofas as well, at Pollywood.

Agree with Palm Casual, short drive to Winter Garden right off tollway. Family owned, guaranteed for life: they make the sunbrella cushions to order. They also carry Gensun cast aluminum furniture; very durable and powder coated that looks like cast iron. I had a dining set up north that looked like brand new after 6 midwest winters. Now if someone has a better way to keep the lizards off my cushions......
