As the arrival of spring means warmer temperatures around the San Francisco area, you and your loved ones are undoubtedly planning on spending quite a bit of time outside. With that being said, you may want to make your Hillsborough, San Mateo, or Belmont patio a little more comfortable by adding some outdoor wicker furniture. However, before you begin shopping for all-weather wicker furnishings, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Though there may be a number of retailers in your area that offer such pieces, their products are most likely made of low-quality materials that will start to deteriorate after just a season or two. Rather than having to replace your furnishings every spring, it’s best to invest in UV-protected, fade-resistant patio furniture such as Ventana-brand items. As Terra Patio & Garden in Burlingame offers these products in their own showroom, they know exactly what characteristics you should look for when shopping for wicker furnishings.
