Bamboo as a material is eco-friendly as well as the renewable source that grows at fast speed. Bamboo is a perfect idea to furnish outdoor spaces with environment-friendly items. Bamboo wood is ideal to construct any types of furniture as it is easy to cut repair and handle. Let’s take a look at some pros and cons to find out if you need such furniture for outdoor spaces or not.
Pros
Bamboo possesses great endurance to any condition and stays beautiful for years. It’s also naturally stronger than the other available traditional hardwoods and is very eco-friendly: it grows naturally without using chemicals and fertilizers.
Bamboo furniture is less prone to swelling and shrinking and it does not get much affected from different climatic conditions. The furniture weighs less than other types of wood and can be moved easily. It can be easily cleaned up using a small broom or clean cloth (don’t use cleaning agents!). Such furniture offers infinite designs, styles, stains, and finishes to choose from, it’s suitable for both indoors and outdoors and can be styled for boho, tropical, Nordic, modern, contemporary and many other spaces depending on the style you like and designs of the furniture you choose. You may also finish the furniture with cool and soft cushions and pillows to make it more comfortable.

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?
