Start with the frame

Specify marine-grade aluminium or powder-coated stainless for any piece within sight of the sea. Bare steel will rust within a season in salt air.

Protect the soft elements

  • Solution-dyed rope and Quick Dry Foam cushions recover from spray quickly.
  • Use removable, washable covers for deep seating.
  • Favour closed, drainable bases so water does not pool.

Layout for wind

Low, weighted profiles and modular units resist gusts better than tall, light pieces. Read the rope & foam guide and the trade FAQ on coastal projects.
