Eucalyptus wood and UV-stabilized rope deliver weather resistance without rust or the constant upkeep natural wicker demands. The Explorer Neptune Chair & Ottoman in mixed grey is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The 10,000 double-braided yarns shed water quickly after rain, so you're not waiting hours for the surface to dry before you can use it again.
How Does UV-Stabilized Rope Hold Up to Sun and Rain?
The 10,000 double-braided yarns are stabilized against UV degradation, meaning the mixed grey color resists fading through season after season of direct sun exposure. Standard rope breaks down under ultraviolet light -- the fibers weaken and the color bleaches -- but this stabilized weave maintains both strength and appearance. The rope construction also sheds water fast, so the surface dries within minutes instead of staying damp and inviting mildew. You won't find rust or corrosion issues here because there's no metal in the weave, and the eucalyptus frame resists moisture damage better than pine or untreated softwoods.
Can This Stay Outside Through Winter?
Yes, the eucalyptus wood and UV-stabilized rope are built for year-round outdoor exposure. That said, covering it during prolonged freezing rain or heavy snow extends the life of any outdoor piece, even one engineered for weather. If you live where winters are mild, leaving it uncovered is fine. Wipe the frame clean with mild soap and water a few times a season, and the rope's fast-drying construction means you don't need to haul cushions in and out -- there aren't any.
Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?
Pair it with lounge seating in your outdoor accent chairs arrangement, or use it as a low side table for drinks and magazines near the pool. The 28 x 29-inch footprint fits comfortably on small balconies, and at 29 pounds it's light enough to reposition when you're rearranging for a gathering. Anchor a conversation area by pairing this with pieces from our outdoor chairs collection, and the mixed grey finish works with both neutral palettes and brighter outdoor fabrics.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the rope fade in direct sun?
- The UV-stabilized yarns resist sun fading far better than untreated rope or standard outdoor fabrics, maintaining the mixed grey color through years of exposure.
- Can this stay outside all year?
- Yes, the eucalyptus and UV-rope construction is designed for year-round outdoor use, though covering during harsh winter storms extends longevity.
- How do I store it over winter?
- If you prefer to store it, wipe it clean and keep it in a dry shed or garage. If leaving it out, a waterproof cover protects against ice and heavy snow accumulation.
- Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?
- Yes -- eucalyptus wood and rope won't rust like metal frames, and the fast-drying weave prevents salt residue from sitting in damp fabric.
- Does it need cushions?
- No, the rope weave provides a firm surface for resting feet or setting a tray. You can add a cushion for softness, but the construction works without one.
- How is this delivered?
- Free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove delivery and in-room placement are available upon request for an additional fee.
