Bamboo garden furniture for patio and balcony
Bamboo plants are tough raw materials for making furniture. Aside from the fine finishes applied to protect the garden and home bamboo furniture, they have natural antibacterial properties that protect them.
Bamboo fibre, like other raw materials, is not durable. But its natural durability and toughness are further enhanced during the manufacturing process through the application of finishes.
Furthermore, the laminated bamboo strips are stronger than a single oak timber, for example. This means that the garden bamboo furniture is stronger, tougher and more durable.
They are ideal for outdoor spaces like the patio or balcony. Here are some examples of bamboo outdoor garden furniture:

Why bamboo furniture?
Bamboo is the giant of grass plants and tends to grow very quickly. It grows faster than trees and many other natural plants which are highly sustainable.
In addition, there are other reasons why bamboo furniture sets are great additions to your home and garden collections.
Tough and durable
Bamboo furniture can withstand the weather and everyday use. Its natural hardiness and tolerance to high humidity mean that furniture made from bamboo is tough.
These properties of bamboo make them an ideal choice for outdoor furniture.
Flexible and bendable
They are flexible and bendable. For this reason, bamboo is used to produce stunning furniture with curves that are hard to achieve with other wooden raw materials.
Home and furniture designers can create products from bamboo which are unique and stunning like the Bamboo bed frame and outdoor lanterns.
Strong and heavy
Bamboo strength to weight ratio is similar to oak or other hardwoods. However, bamboo splits when laminated to form a formidable layer. As such, bamboo furniture is reasonably stronger and heavier than those made from hardwood timbers.
They are firm on the ground and will not wobble as other furniture do. One example of a product that is strong and heavy is the bamboo outdoor furniture set.
Nice and smooth
Bamboo plants grow straight and produce a fine grain. For this reason, bamboo furniture has a nice and soft appearance.
What to know about bamboo furniture?
Giant timber bamboos
There are different types of bamboo plants. The most common ones used for making furniture are the giant timber bamboo. They are cut, split cleaned and dried.
After that, the splits are tidied into fine strands and laminated to bamboo beams, panels, ply, veneer, lumber, etc.
Care
Though natural bamboo furniture is tough and durable, exposure to outdoor conditions can damage them. So, protect them by using some sort of cover or storing them indoors.
Maintenance
Bamboo indoor and outdoor furniture will require occasional dusting and maintenance. The indoor bamboo furniture will require a cleaning with a wet cloth to clean the dust and cobwebs.
Whereas, the outdoor ones will definitely require occasional vanishing to make them look beautiful again.
Outdoor storage
Before buying, it is important to think about where you will keep the furniture during the winter or when they are not in use. There is no need to worry if you are going to place them in a designated area outdoor.
But then, it is better to provide some sort of cover to protect them from the weather when you are not using them.
