Cons

The bamboo furniture comes with less water resistance and should be kept inside during heavy rains. Direct exposure to sunlight should also be avoided to protect the furniture as it will get damage to the harsh sun rays. Try to keep bamboo outdoor furniture placed in a sheltered area away from sunlight, a good solution here is to bring bamboo furniture indoors while it’s cold outside and use it here for a relaxed and cacation-like feel. In harsh winters or rainy season, the bamboo outdoor should be properly covered with the waterproof covering. Alternatively, proper coating with outdoor sealant helps the furniture to last for years, so it’s a timeless investment if you buy such pieces. The bamboo furniture most likely gets affected by the mildew and insects such as worms and can be also easily scratched. Now you know all pros and cons of bamboo outdoor items, will you buy any?
