7 Stylish All-Weather Outdoor Sectionals

One of the biggest trends in home improvement is expanding your square footage by bringing the indoors out. The outdoor sectional brings comfortable seating to your porch or patio, while being able to withstand the outdoor elements. From curved to L-shaped, outdoor sectionals are perfect for gathering with family, lounging with a movie under the stars or just taking an afternoon cat nap.  They offer a lot of seating in a small footprint and are available in a huge range of styles, sizes, and all-weather materials.
All of the sectional collections below are made to be used completely outdoors and withstand the rain and sun. Let’s take a look at these 7 favorite sectional collections.

Monterra by O.W. Lee
The granddaddy of all outdoor sectionals, this collection is the ultimate in comfort.  A favorite for the high back and cozy cushions, it can be customized to a variety of different lengths. The Monterra Collection features unique details such as hammered rivets and embossed flat bars. One key feature of this collection are the cushioned arms that wrap around your body like a cloud. Because this set is made in the USA you can choose the layout, metal frame finish, and select from hundreds of all-weather fabric options such as Sunbrella or Outdura.  It’s also available in multiple coordinating pieces including sofa, loveseat, lounge chair, chaise, ottomans, barstools, fire pits and dining pieces.

Contempo by Lloyd Flanders
Constructed of 100% virgin vinyl with no added “fillers” ensures this vinyl collection will remain soft and pliable through many years of use without becoming brittle. UV inhibitors are added to protect from the sun’s harsh rays and prevent excessive fading. Plush seating, loose cushion backs and extra wide arms make for extraordinary comfort that will last you many years to come.
 You can customize this collection in curved or L-shaped layouts using a variety of different sectional pieces. Although the frame is only available in the aged walnut finish the fabrics are available in a multitude colors and patterns constructed of 100% solution dyed acrylic fabric, the best for outdoors. Add a lounge chair, chaise, bench, ottomans, fire pit, or matching dining collection to complete your patio.

Del Ray by South Sea Rattan
This collection is a favorite for its variegated weave pattern and clean lines.  The natural looking weave provides beautiful realistic texture while still being constructed of all-weather vinyl and welded aluminum framework. The optional Luxterior Spring Cushions are a must for long lasting comfort. The spring cushion core is wrapped in a waterproof ticking for ultimate durability in the elements. The Del Ray Collection comes in your choice of sectional layout and additional pieces such as lounge chairs, ottomans, sofas, loveseats, end tables, coffee tables, dining chairs, and more.

Ashbee by Telescope Casuals
A modular sectional consisting of three basic pieces that are utilized to form any length of L-shaped or U–shaped sectional you can think of. This collection features all-weather aluminum frames with a durable powder-coat finish that resists peeling, cracking and blistering. Clean, sleek and simple lines focus on the deep seat comfort with modern appeal.
Manufactured in New York and made to order allows customization in the layout, metal frame finish color, and endless outdoor fabric choices. Add throw pillows, an ottoman, and accessory tables to complete the set.

Cambridge by Seaside Casuals
Built from 100% high density polyethylene (HDPE) lumber, the components are designed to withstand all types of temperatures and weather conditions. The HDPE material is a popular option because the color goes all the way through, so no re-staining or painting needed. The less maintenance the better! The heavy frame is great for windy areas and it’s UV stabilized for color consistency through the entire piece. The lumber is milled and routered to simulate the look and feel found in high-end interior furniture.  This family owned, USA based manufacturer offers the option to customize the frame color, fabrics and sectional layout to provide the best design for your space.

Kenzo by Tropitone
Although this collection doesn’t come in a traditional sectional, customers are loving the curved crescent sofa and using 2 or 3 together around a fire pit for a curved sectional-type look. Tropitone being both a commercial and residential outdoor furniture manufacturer constructs all pieces for a commercial specification for high traffic use.  Aluminum, welded frames are powder coated to withstand the outdoor elements and constructed of reinforced extruded aluminum, the strongest type of metal construction.  Made to order in the great U.S.A. so you can choose finish color, fabrics, and furniture layout.
Additional pieces to coordinate are available including swivel-rocker lounge chairs, sofas, loveseats, sling chairs, woven chairs, ottomans, dining pieces and much more.

Rustic Wicker by Summer Classics
The Rustic Wicker collection is perfect for any location, despite its name.  Hand-crafted from N-dura™ ultra-high UV resistant resin wicker which is woven over extruded aluminum tubing. Available in Slate, Weathered, and Black Walnut finishes and your choice of fabric. Summer Classics has an exclusive line of all-weather fabrics, as well as Sunbrella brand fabrics to choose from. Highly recommended are their Dream Cushions which feel just as they sound. This 1.8 density foam with a pillow top of blown-fiber filled channels provides the utmost quality and softness. The cushion cores are then wrapped in a woven, water resistant jacket so neither rain nor wet swimsuits will soak your cushions.
Additional pieces from the Rustic Collection include lounge chair, sofa, ottoman, end tables, dining chairs, barstools and even a chaise lounge that lays flat to double as a bench.

While there are many sectional options on the market today, I hope you choose one that can withstand everything the outdoors has to throw at it. Long lasting comfort is just as important as style and design so I encourage you to take a test drive and to feel the difference.

As with any outdoor furniture piece Peters recommends taking the cushions inside during winter months to protect from critters and covering the frame. This will ensure your furniture will last for many generations to come.
