What is all-weather wicker?
All-weather wicker is a resin material that’s woven around a frame. It’s coloured and textured to look just like natural materials such as rattan and willow, but is much stronger and better suited to life outdoors year round – it’ll never crack, flake or fade. It’s also brilliantly easy to look after – a wash down with a hose or pressure spray is all it needs.
The legs
We chose teak for Bryher’s legs because it’s one of the best timbers for using outside. That’s because it’s full of natural oils that protect it from drying and cracking from the off, to which we then add our linseed oil-based, environmentally friendly IsoGuard® oil. This brings additional protection against oxidisation and drying (the teak will still silver nicely over time, although reapplication of IsoGuard® will help if you’d prefer it not to) without masking its texture.
The cushions
All our outdoor furniture cushions are made from a weather-resistant, pale cream coloured polyester fabric. They’ll be completely happy outside during the summer and in light showers, although we do recommend bringing them in over winter.
