In this guide we clarify what is actually being compared, since most woven furniture has a metal frame hidden inside it, and explain the difference between natural wicker, synthetic resin weave, powder coated aluminium and steel. We look at weather resistance in British conditions including rain, frost, sun damage and coastal salt air, then compare comfort, weight and stability in windy gardens. There is practical detail on cleaning and seasonal maintenance for both materials, guidance on which suits small courtyards and balconies, and the construction signs that separate a set lasting a decade from one failing in three summers. We finish with a straightforward recommendation for each situation, plus answers to the questions asked most often."}
