Most of the time we see bamboo furniture in the outdoor areas of a house, especially the lawn and patio. You must be wondering over why bamboo is the only consideration for outdoor places.

1. Why to Choose Bamboo Furniture for your Outdoor?
Most of the time we see bamboo furniture in the
outdoor areas of a house, especially the lawn and patio.
You must be wondering over why bamboo is the only
consideration for outdoor places. Although, the material
is used for the indoor furniture too but for outdoor,
bamboo is the first choice because other than having a
decorative element, it provides maximum functionality.
The lawns of luxury homes in Pakistan, contain bamboo furniture and the detail of major
reasons for which it is considered the first choice of the homeowners, is given as below.
High Durable
Why outdoor furniture needs to be a little more durable? Certainly, the climatic conditions
outside are different from the indoor and when furniture is exposed directly to them, it gets
damaged sooner than expected. Therefore, nothing could be as good as bamboo furniture for
the outdoor. As compared to traditional wood, the material is durable enough to be used
everyday. Additionally, bamboo is highly resistant to climatic conditions; therefore it does not
get expanded in humidity nor it shrinks in the hot sunny season. Whatever, the temperature
changes are around, bamboo can stay intact for a longer time period; whereas a typical wood
not only gets faded but damages too.
Toughness
Bamboo’s toughness can be well analyzed from the fact that its tensile strength is 28, 000 per
square inch versus 23, 000 for steel. Often, the fibers of bamboo are used to strengthen the
composite materials. The thing which makes it different, resistant and powerful is its ‘growth
style’ because it grows straight and has ‘knuckles’ which are consistent and dense. Even the
strength of this material can be increased by lamination, which provides much more resistance
to scratches, cracks and climatic changes. The green furniture also serves to be an eco-friendly
option.
Versatility
Bamboo is much more versatile as upon visiting a nearby market and exploring internet you can
find hundreds of designs and styles in this material. Usually for outdoor, bamboo is used in its
real style and form that anyone looking at it can well judge that the material; whereas when
used in indoor it is refined and can be differentiated from any other wooden furniture
accessories. These days different home furnishers are using innovative and latest techniques of
creating bamboo furniture either by keeping it pure or using as composite materials. The
bamboo furniture in the outdoor looks more compatible with the outside eco-friendly
environment of your lawn.

2. Bamboo is an Economical Choice
When it comes to price comparison, bamboo is much cheaper than the hardwood so replacing
it sooner, would not max out your pocket. According to an estimation bamboo furniture costs
20% lesser than the wooden furniture; therefore, you can place it on your lawn, outdoor dining
area or kitchen. Usually, a hanging chair in the lawn or patio is made up of bamboo because it
can withstand all types of climatic conditions.
Bamboo furniture can last for years if handled properly. Undoubtedly, it has a high resistance to
heat and moisture but still to make its life longer and to keep its look fresh and newer, you
either need to place it under shade or cover it with plastic sheet when not in used. Avoid to
keep its direct contact with water and moisture for a longer time period such as during rainy
season; move it to a safer place. Whenever you plan to purchase bamboo furniture, do take a
furnishing expert with you so that recognizing a real bamboo from its imitations could become
easier.
