Plastic and PVC furniture are ideal for outdoor use, due to its versatility, ease of cleaning, and resilience to climate change. We can use them in the Sun or in the shade, and do not worry when it rains. They are also much cheaper that spout metal patio furniture, so it usually given less attention in terms of its annual maintenance. However, to change stations and return the time of heat, we come back to look at them fondly, and sadly we see that, with respect to their appearance in the previous year, today they look cracked, faded, and we run the risk of losing them because of breakage.
