Bistro Set Materials
Bistro sets are typically made using wood, wicker, wrought iron, or aluminum, as well as stained glass or colored tiles for decorative effect. How and where you intend to use your bistro set should have some bearing on which material you select. A wood bistro set is going to have different care and maintenance requirements than a wrought iron bistro set, so a little beforehand knowledge is recommended before making your bistro set purchase.
Wood Wooden bistro sets should provide relatively low-maintenance enjoyment. Many people choose to paint their wooden bistro sets. Paint will provide an excellent protection from the elements, but you will need to watch for peeling. You will likely need to repaint your wood bistro set every year or two. Store your wood bistro set during the winter months for maximum protection. Unfinished wooden furniture will weather as it ages, giving your bistro set a rustic and natural appearance. Wooden bistro sets can be cleaned using a standard mix of soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and towel off excess moisture for quicker drying. Wicker Wrought Iron Aluminum |
