When you're choosing outdoor furniture, style is only half the story—care is the rest. If you're looking for low-maintenance patio furniture that stands up to sun, salt, spills, and time, POLYWOOD® delivers.

Made with Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber, our furniture is built for year-round use and engineered to resist fading, cracking, splintering, and peeling. When it comes to care, all you need is soap, water, and a soft-bristle brush.

Here are seven standout pieces that make low-maintenance outdoor living beautifully simple.

1. Vineyard 3-Piece Adirondack Set

This iconic trio includes two Adirondack chairs and a coordinating side table, making it perfect for casual lounging or hosting sunset drinks. The HDPE lumber resists spills and salt air, and there’s no need to paint or seal—ever.

2. Nautical Curveback Adirondack Chair

This best-selling Adirondack offers a wider seat, a taller back, and curved comfort that needs no cushion. Rain or shine, just towel-dry or let it air-dry. It won’t warp, mildew, or hold water.

3. EDGE 6-Piece Modular Deep Seating Set

From Sunday brunch to weeknight grilling, this supper-ready set stays beautiful with minimal care. The dining table’s slatted design sheds rain, and the chairs are easy to clean.

6. Presidential Rocking Chair
