In the South, outdoor living isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. From front porch chats to backyard barbecues, warm days and long evenings encourage friends and family to relax and stay a while. But with that laid-back lifestyle comes a constant fight against nature: dense humidity, salty coastal air, and sudden rains that can warp, mildew, or fade traditional outdoor furniture.

Southerners understand the challenge of having to scrub, seal, or store their furniture each season just to keep it looking good. That’s why many choose POLYWOOD® waterproof deck furniture: a collection of tough, low-maintenance pieces designed to handle humidity, heavy rains, and relentless sun easily.

Furniture Engineered to Survive Southern Weather

Resists Mold and Mildew

Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is non-porous, meaning it doesn’t soak up moisture like wood or wicker. This simple fact makes a big difference: no trapped water, no soft spots, and no chance for mold or mildew to develop. Even in coastal or humid areas, your furniture remains clean, sturdy, and good-looking year-round.

Defies Fading

Relentless sun can dull most furniture in just one season, but not POLYWOOD. Our lumber features ColorStay™ technology, which includes UV inhibitors and stabilizers throughout the material—not just on the surface—so rich colors stay vibrant through many Southern summers.

Built for Rainy Seasons

A sudden afternoon shower doesn’t have to cancel your plans. POLYWOOD furniture can stay outside in the rain without concern. Our lumbers’ smooth finishes repel water and dry quickly, so your deck or patio is ready for use again in no time.

Easy to Clean

With pollen season, high humidity, and frequent gatherings, your furniture gets a lot of use. Luckily, cleaning POLYWOOD pieces is straightforward: just soap, water, and a soft cloth or brush to remove dirt or debris. No sanding, sealing, or refinishing needed—ever.

Porch Swings and Rockers

Few things say “Southern living” like the slow swing of a porch or the gentle motion of a rocker. POLYWOOD offers a variety of porch swings, rocking chairs, and the Vineyard Daybed Swing, all designed for year-round durability and timeless style—perfect for enjoying sweet tea or watching the sunset.
