Living on the East Coast means experiencing each season in all its glory, from lively, sun-filled summers to picturesque, snowy winters and everything in between. For outdoor enthusiasts, this dynamic weather can turn patio living into a bit of a juggling act—moving, covering, and restoring furniture.

If you’ve ever had to drag soggy cushions into the garage before a storm or watched a wooden chair warp after a single freeze-thaw cycle, you understand the frustrations. From the frosty stretches of New England to the humid summers of the Carolinas, East Coast climates call for furniture that can truly do it all: withstand coastal winds, changing temperatures, and salty air—while remaining comfortable and stylish.

Why POLYWOOD® Is a Four-Season Solution

No Storage Necessary

Say goodbye to seasonal storage. POLYWOOD furniture is built to stay outdoors all year long, even through blizzards, downpours, and heat waves. Designed with ClimateTuff™ materials and marine-grade quality hardware, each piece resists corrosion and cracking, so your furniture can live where it belongs: outside.

Withstanding the Extremes

Snow, salt air, humidity, and intense sun are no match for Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber. From freezing cold to extreme heat, our furniture won’t warp, rot, splinter, or fade. Our ColorStay™ technology provides lumber with vibrant, long-lasting color, and Solidcore™ durability keeps each chair and table sturdy for decades.

Wind and Weight

East Coast storms can be gusty, but your furniture shouldn’t move. POLYWOOD products are solidly built with enough heft to withstand strong coastal winds without the need for sandbags or tie-downs.

Effortless Living

Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber never needs painting, staining, or refinishing. After a long, cold winter or rainy season, all it takes is a quick rinse with soap and water to bring your furniture back to life, ready for that first pleasant day on the patio.

Modern Adirondack Chairs

The Adirondack chair originated in New York, so it’s only fitting that coastal residents favor this seat. They especially like the sleek designs from the Modern Adirondack Collection, which provide contoured comfort and bold, clean lines, built to withstand snowy winters and hot summers alike.

Care for Your Cushions

While POLYWOOD furniture can live outdoors all year, we recommend storing or covering cushions during extended wet or snowy weather. This simple step helps preserve the look and feel of your performance fabric for many seasons to come.

The Long-Term Value: A Smarter Investment

Durability isn’t just about toughness—it’s about lasting value. POLYWOOD furniture offers a 20-year residential lumber warranty, ensuring your investment endures for decades. While other materials often crack, fade, or need refinishing, Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber keeps its strength and beauty through the seasons.

When you compare the ongoing costs of replacing wood, wicker, or metal furniture every few years, the value of a long-lasting POLYWOOD piece becomes obvious. It’s an investment in more outdoor enjoyment and less time spent on maintenance.
