Low Country Porch Rocker Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

Vinyl wicker developed in 1906 resists moisture, mildew and rot for long-term outdoor performance, and the welded aluminum frame won't rust on a covered porch or screened patio. The Lloyd Flanders Low Country Porch Rocker, an outdoor lounge chair hand-woven in Menominee, Michigan, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. This is the only wicker furniture still manufactured in the USA, using the original Lloyd Loom process that weaves vinyl around a steel core for durability outdoor furniture demands.

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

Woven vinyl wicker is non-porous, so it won't absorb water or swell when wet the way natural rattan does. It resists mildew and rot because moisture can't penetrate the material -- you wipe it dry and it's ready to sit on again. The welded aluminum frame underneath won't rust or corrode, even in humid climates or coastal salt air. The vinyl weave also resists UV damage better than natural fiber, though full-sun exposure over multiple years will cause some gradual fading of the natural finish.

Can This Stay on a Covered Porch Year-Round?

Yes, it's designed for exactly that. The materials won't rot, rust or crack from seasonal temperature swings, and the rocker can stay on a covered porch or screened patio through winter. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice, bringing it inside or into a garage prevents snow from piling on the seat and wearing the finish prematurely. For uncovered exposure, store it in a shed or use a fitted cover -- vinyl wicker handles rain just fine, but constant direct weather and pooled water shorten the life of any outdoor furniture.

Where Does a Wicker Rocker Work Best?

This rocker fits covered porches, screened patios and protected deck areas where the classic Southern porch design complements traditional architecture. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs or outdoor accent chairs collections in coordinating wicker finishes. The 25.25-inch width and upright seat height also let you bring it indoors as accent seating when the season changes -- it's light enough at 27 pounds to move easily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker uses woven vinyl or resin that resists moisture and UV, while natural wicker is rattan or cane that absorbs water and breaks down outdoors.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, woven vinyl wicker is non-porous and won't absorb water, mildew or rot. Wipe it dry after a storm and it's ready to use.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Vinyl wicker resists UV damage better than natural materials, but prolonged full-sun exposure over years will cause gradual fading. Covered porches slow that process significantly.

How do I clean woven vinyl wicker?

Wipe it with mild soap and water -- the non-porous material doesn't absorb dirt or stains. Rinse and let it air-dry.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.

What's the difference between this and a chaise lounge?

A chaise lounge reclines with an extended seat for your legs. This porch rocker has upright seating with curved runners that let you rock back and forth.
