Hi all...I'm trying to layout my new garden. At the center, I want to put [URL=http://www.familyleisure.com/Casual-Patio-Furniture]Patio Furniture[/URL] from that site, either wicker or teak. Does anyone know how well both materials hold up?

Teak holds up well and goes silvery with exposure.
My experience with wicker is that it must be protected from the elements (natural wicker) but wicker (simulated) made from plastics/vinyl etc. are ok for the outdoors - but I think might be hard to clean. Everytime I have had anything vinyl or plastic outdoors --it is hard to keep clean, streak free, mold free etc., If it is a resin product it will probably hold up better than the vinyl and softer synthetics. I don't have time to go to your site and so don't know if the wicker you are referring to is natural wicker. I have bookmarked it and will hopefully look tomorrow. Good luck with your garden - the step you are taking (laying it out) is a great first step and where I have gone wrong many times (buy first and wonder where I am going to put it later!)
