This sofa's powder-coated aluminum frame and twisted rattan weave resist rust and UV fading in full-sun conditions. The SUNPAN Tibi Performance Fabric Outdoor Sofa -- 96 inches wide with deep-seating cushions and weather-resistant construction -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.
How Does the Aluminum Frame and Rattan Weave Handle Full-Sun Exposure?
Powder-coated aluminum won't rust in rain or salt air, and the synthetic twisted rattan is UV-stabilized to resist cracking and fading. Both materials hold up through summer heat and coastal humidity without pitting or color loss. The finish is baked on, so it handles direct sun season after season without peeling.
Will the Cushions Fade or Mildew in Rain?
The 100% polyester performance fabric resists UV fade and dries quickly after a downpour. You should pull the cushions off during heavy storms or cover them -- performance fabric is water-resistant but not fully waterproof, and prolonged saturation can lead to mildew. Stored dry, they'll hold their color and shape for years.
Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?
The frame and rattan can stay outside year-round, but remove the cushions and store them indoors once freezing weather arrives. If you're keeping the frame out, use a fitted waterproof cover to protect the weave from ice and snow. The adjustable levelers make it easy to re-level the sofa in spring after frost heave shifts your patio.
Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?
At 96 inches wide, the Tibi sofa anchors a large seating zone on a full-sun deck or covered porch. Pair it with pieces from the Outdoor Sofas & Loveseats collection to create a modular arrangement, or flank it with side tables and chairs from the Outdoor Accent Chairs line for layered entertaining space. Add throw pillows from Outdoor Accessories to soften the lines, or hang weather-resistant art from the Outdoor Art collection above it to define the zone.
