Wooden garden Furniture or Metal Garden Furniture: which one is best?
When it comes to garden furniture there are three choices available for you: plastic, metal, and wooden materials. Plastic will automatically be out of the picture if you are aiming for high quality material, and aesthetic designs, so its down to metal and wooden garden furniture.
Both of these furniture types are durable and can resist wear and tear, and both could look more appealing than the other, depending on the designs, but what sets the wooden garden furniture apart is that they are way cheaper than aluminum metal. Wood as it is look good in so many ways without needing to undergo drastic process, while metal costs more to reproduce.
Wooden garden furniture can be light enough to be lift and transferred from one place to another while if you wish to achieve this in metal furniture, you would have to settle for aluminum material. However wood are prone to cracking and scratching especially when used outdoors but metal are prone to rusting.
The choice between two materials is a difficult process, but most buyers opt for wooden garden furniture because they come in many different designs and different types of wooden material. Rattan in particular is the most popular outdoor garden furniture of all, this is because they look elegant and stylish, they are easy to carry and can resist weather changes. Rattan garden furniture is also cheaper in the sense that they are durable and can last for years.

Use spray paint
Brushing would leave a build up of paint in the woven pattern. You can simply tilt the furniture in a position where excess amount of paint could easily drip and then spray it with primer and then leave it dry for a few hours and re-spray it a couple of times more.
Do not use Polyurethane
Polyurethane dries hard and might crack the material. If you want a natural finish you can just wipe it with an oil stain. Or you can simply wipe them clean and spray it with boiled linseed oil.
