With this material, we can restore our chairs and garden furniture and give them a second chance.

Synthetic wicker is a highly weather-resistant material since it is made from HDPE, making it one of the most durable materials for outdoor garden furniture currently available on the market.

It is sold in rolls of 0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 20 kg.

The introduction of this product into the furniture market stems from the search for a material that mimics natural wicker, which has traditionally been used for outdoor furniture but with greater resistance to the elements.

Initially, it imitated the shapes and colors of natural wicker but has since evolved into more modern forms and colors, ultimately replacing natural wicker not only for its durability but also for its lower manufacturing cost, seeking a sustainable alternative to the scarcity of rattan.

What is the difference between natural and synthetic wicker?
As its name suggests, the main difference is the process of obtaining each. Synthetic wicker is made through artificial processes as a plastic derivative, distinguishing it from the material as traditionally known. The synthetic wicker strips are manufactured by adding compounds that provide the qualities it possesses.

What are the advantages of using synthetic rattan in garden or outdoor furniture?
The main advantage is its resistance to weather conditions and the lack of need for special maintenance and care.

What formats are available for this material?
Commonly used formats for synthetic rattan include rolls of 500 g and 1 kg for small maintenance tasks and 20 kg rolls for making furniture.

What colors are available for synthetic wicker?
As mentioned earlier, synthetic wicker was sought as a replacement for natural rattan but has evolved into a multitude of forms and colors due to its versatility. It is now manufactured according to the design requested by the consumer.

In what types of furniture is it used?
Due to its characteristics, it is used in environments where maintenance is difficult, such as in hospitality, pools, and gardens. Its use can generally be categorized as outdoor.

What should I consider for the maintenance and care of synthetic rattan furniture?
This type of material does not require a rigorous maintenance or conservation process. However, it is advisable to brush it with soap and water to clean it and hydrate the plastic strips occasionally. It is also recommended to cover it with a tarp or store it in a shed when not in use for long periods to extend its durability.

Are there other uses for this material?
Certainly, it can be used for all types of crafts and the making of mesh or lattice panels for concealment. The most innovative use currently gaining popularity is for making bags, storage baskets, placemats, and other home storage items. Let your imagination soar...
