Transform Your Outdoor Space with Premium Patio Furniture from Pool Mart
At Pool Mart, we believe that the area surrounding your pool or backyard deserves just as much attention as the water itself. Your outdoor space is an extension of your home, and the right patio furniture can transform a simple backyard into a personal resort. With 5 locations across Western New York, we make it easy for homeowners throughout the region to browse, compare, and select furniture that fits their style, their space, and their budget. Whether you are outfitting a compact deck or furnishing a sprawling poolside patio, our team is ready to help you find pieces that look stunning and stand the test of time.
The outdoor furniture industry has grown significantly over the past decade, driven in large part by homeowners investing in their outdoor living areas. According to industry research, the global outdoor furniture market is projected to continue expanding as consumers increasingly view patios and decks as functional living spaces rather than seasonal afterthoughts. At Pool Mart, we have kept pace with this trend by continuously updating our inventory to include the latest styles, materials, and configurations that today’s homeowners want.
Materials That Matter: Choosing the Right Patio Furniture
One of the most important decisions you will make when shopping for patio furniture is the material. Each material brings a unique combination of durability, aesthetics, weight, and maintenance requirements. Understanding these differences ensures you invest in furniture that performs well in Western New York’s variable climate, where hot summers give way to cold, snowy winters. We carry a diverse selection of material options so you can match your furniture to your lifestyle and environmental conditions.
Here are some of the most popular material categories we stock and what makes each one distinctive:
- Aluminum — Lightweight, rust-resistant, and available in a wide array of powder-coated finishes that resist chipping and fading over multiple seasons
- All-Weather Wicker — Crafted from synthetic resin woven over aluminum frames, offering the classic look of natural wicker without vulnerability to moisture, cracking, or UV degradation
- Teak and Hardwood — Naturally resistant to rot and insects, teak develops a beautiful silver patina over time or can be maintained with oil treatments to preserve its golden hue
- Cast Iron and Wrought Iron — Exceptionally heavy and sturdy, ideal for windy locations, with ornate detailing that suits traditional and vintage design themes
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Lumber — An eco-friendly option made from recycled materials that never needs painting, staining, or sealing and resists splintering entirely
Designing Your Ideal Outdoor Layout
Choosing individual pieces is only part of the process. At Pool Mart, we encourage customers to think about how their furniture arrangement will shape the flow and functionality of their outdoor space. A well-designed layout considers traffic patterns around the pool, shade coverage, proximity to grilling stations, and sightlines from the house. Our staff can walk you through layout considerations based on the dimensions and features of your yard.
Consider the primary ways you intend to use your outdoor space when planning your layout:
- Dining and entertaining — Prioritize a table set with ample seating, umbrella coverage, and easy access to your kitchen or outdoor cooking area
- Relaxation and lounging — Focus on chaise lounges, deep-seating sectionals, and hammock-style chairs positioned for optimal sun and shade balance
- Family activity zones — Incorporate modular seating that can be reconfigured easily, along with side tables and storage benches for towels and toys
Caring for Your Patio Furniture Year After Year
Quality patio furniture represents a meaningful investment, and proper care will significantly extend its useful life. Most aluminum and resin wicker pieces can be cleaned with mild soap and water, while teak benefits from periodic treatment with specialized wood cleaners. During Western New York winters, we strongly recommend using fitted furniture covers or storing cushions indoors to prevent moisture damage and mildew growth. Our stores carry a full range of protective covers, cleaning solutions, and replacement cushion options to help you maintain your furniture season after season.
Fabric technology has also advanced considerably. Many of the cushions and pillows we offer feature Sunbrella or comparable solution-dyed acrylic fabrics that resist fading, staining, and mildew. These fabrics are designed to withstand prolonged UV exposure and can be cleaned easily without losing their color or structural integrity. When selecting cushions, pay attention to foam density and drainage capabilities, as quick-dry foam cores prevent water from pooling inside after rainstorms.
