Balcony Pergolas: Exact dimensions (including height, width, depth, and roof overhang) are critical. Please measure your balcony/space carefully before ordering.
5. What materials are your products made of?
All products are designed for outdoor use with weather-resistant materials:
-
Outdoor Chairs & Tables: Frames: Powder-coated aluminum, steel, wrought iron, treated wood (acacia, eucalyptus), or all-weather resin wicker. Seats/Cushions: UV-resistant fabric (polyester, olefin), quick-dry foam.
-
Balcony Pergolas: Frames: Powder-coated aluminum or steel, treated wood. Canopy/Roof: UV-protected polyester, polycarbonate, or shade cloth. Hardware: Rust-resistant stainless steel or coated metals.
Specific material details and care instructions are in each product description.
6. Are the cushions and fabrics waterproof/UV resistant?
-
Cushions: Most are water-resistant (repels water) but not fully waterproof (submersion). They are designed to withstand light rain but should be brought inside or covered during heavy rain. Cushions typically have zippers for removable covers that can be cleaned.
-
Fabrics: Treated for UV resistance to prevent fading from sun exposure.
-
Pergola Canopies: Designed to provide shade and are typically water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Heavy rain may still cause some water seepage.
7. How do I clean and maintain my outdoor furniture?
-
Frames: Wipe with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For metal, check for scratches and touch up with matching paint to prevent rust.
-
Cushions: Remove covers if washable; spot clean with mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
-
Wood: May require annual sealing or oiling to maintain appearance and weather resistance.
-
Pergolas: Rinse with hose periodically. Check hardware for tightness, especially after storms.
8. Should I cover or store my furniture during winter?
Yes, we strongly recommend:
-
Using high-quality, waterproof furniture covers during off-seasons.
-
Storing cushions indoors (garage, shed) during winter and prolonged bad weather.
-
Disassembling pergola canopies and storing them indoors during winter to extend their life.
9. Does the balcony pergola require a permit for installation?
Permit requirements vary by city, county, and HOA. It is your responsibility to check local building codes and HOA rules before purchasing and installing a pergola. We are not responsible for any permit violations.
10. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, and financing options through partners like Affirm or Klarna for larger purchases.
