Aluminum is a strong fit for outdoor living because it is lightweight, durable, stylish, and virtually maintenance-free. It is also highly recyclable, which adds to its long-term appeal outdoors.
Outer’s aluminum furniture is built from durable powder-coated aluminum with precision welding and reinforced stress points, so it is designed to be weather-resistant without rusting, decaying, or loosening over time. Aluminum sofas are also backed by a 10 year limited warranty on the frame.
Yes. General care is simple: hose off loose dirt and debris, then use mild detergent, warm water, and a soft sponge or lint-free rag for a deeper clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry before use or storage.
Aluminum does not heat up as quickly as steel, which helps it stay cooler and more comfortable to the touch on hot days compared with steel furniture.
Aluminum seating arrives without screws or traditional assembly steps. Setup is as simple as taking it out of the box and adding the cushions.
OuterShell® is designed for daily cushion protection, helping keep cushions clean, dry, and ready to use. In climates with frequent rain, snow, wind, or other harsher weather, an All-Weather Cover adds protection for the full sofa and can help reduce the need for off-season storage.
Wicker brings a warmer, more textured look to outdoor seating while still being built for durability. Outer’s all-weather wicker is designed for life outdoors, giving you a timeless, relaxed feel with materials made to handle everyday outdoor use.
Yes. Outer’s all-weather wicker is designed for outdoor use, and the synthetic weave is made from a blend of high-density and low-density polyethylene for long-term durability.
Outer’s wicker seating is built over hand-welded aluminum frames, combining the warmth of woven texture with the structure and durability of aluminum underneath.
Yes. Outer’s wicker sofas are designed for everyday comfort, with memory foam cushions, weather-resistant fabrics, and built-in OuterShell® protection that helps keep the cushions ready to use between lounging sessions.
Teak is naturally durable, high in protective oils, and especially well suited for outdoor use. Outer’s teak collection is crafted from FSC® certified teak and designed to bring together natural warmth, lasting performance, and timeless outdoor appeal.
No. Thanks to its natural durability and high oil content, teak does not need to be sealed, treated, or stained. Over time, it will naturally develop a silver-gray patina. If you prefer to maintain a fresher golden tone, you can use a teak cleaner and brightener.
Yes. Over time, teak naturally develops a silver-gray patina. That change is cosmetic only and does not affect the wood’s strength or longevity.
Yes. Outer’s teak sofas are modular and reconfigurable, so you can rearrange the layout over time or add new pieces as your space evolves. The seating pieces can also be secured together with optional connector clips under the frames for a more stable arrangement.
Yes. The teak sofa collection includes built-in OuterShell® protection, along with machine-washable, fade-resistant OuterWeave® cushions and OuterCloud® memory foam comfort.
Yes. The teak is FSC® certified and sourced from Central Java. For every tree harvested, three more are planted.
