Catalina Sectional Component All Weather Wicker & Teak

Details at a Glance

Lloyd Loom all-weather wicker -- the original machine-woven vinyl wicker developed in 1906 -- is woven over a rustproof aluminum frame, so this modular component resists moisture and UV damage season after season. The Lloyd Flanders Catalina armless sectional component is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Antique gray vinyl wicker and FSC-certified teak accents combine on a welded aluminum frame finished with Durium modified polyester enamel for corrosion resistance.

How Well Does Vinyl Wicker Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Vinyl wicker woven over aluminum does not absorb moisture -- it sheds rain, resists UV fade, and will not crack or splinter the way natural wicker does. The vinyl surface stays colorfast through direct sun, and the aluminum core will not rust even in humid or coastal climates. Lloyd Loom construction uses a modified Lloyd's loom to weave vinyl around a rustproof aluminum framework, creating a tightly woven surface that resists staining and mildew. You can leave this component on a covered patio year-round without worrying about rot or corrosion.

What Do You Have to Do to Keep All-Weather Wicker Looking Right?

Wipe vinyl wicker with warm water and mild detergent when you see dust or pollen -- the material does not absorb moisture, so stains sit on the surface and lift easily. The teak accents will silver naturally if left untreated; if you prefer to maintain the honey color, apply a teak sealer or oil before the season starts. Cushion cores are hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and mildew-resistant, but store them in a deck box or bring them inside during extended wet weather to prolong fabric life.

How Do You Build a Full Sectional From Modular Components?

This armless component connects with other Catalina modular units to form L-shaped or U-shaped seating for larger patios. You can reconfigure the layout as your space or guest needs change -- each piece functions independently or locks into place beside another. Add corner units, end pieces with arms, and coordinating tables from the outdoor modulars collection, or integrate the sectional into a complete setup with pieces from outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is vinyl woven over a rustproof aluminum frame and resists moisture, UV fade, and cracking, while natural wicker is organic plant fiber that absorbs water and deteriorates outdoors.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, vinyl wicker sheds rain and does not absorb water, so it can remain on a covered patio through wet weather without damage.

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame and wicker can stay out on a covered patio year-round; bring cushions inside or store them in a waterproof deck box during extended winter weather to protect the fabric.

Does teak need to be oiled?

Teak will silver naturally over time if left untreated. If you want to maintain the original honey color, apply teak sealer or oil at the start of each season.

Can you reconfigure a modular sectional once it's set up?

Yes, each component can be moved and reconnected in different layouts to suit changing space or guest needs.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, the component arrives fully assembled and ready to connect with other modular units on your patio. Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove delivery, placement, and setup are available upon request for an additional fee.
