The whole ~fresh air~ thing is nice, right? You agree? Perhaps that's why we as humans have spent so much time trying to enhance the spaces involved with the outdoor experience. Such as, ahem, "the patio" and "the grill." Life is just better when we have nice areas where we can go, relax, and slurp up some sweet O2. And within said category of "stuff you need for peak open-air living" lies one very important piece of furniture: the outdoor sectional.
Yes, it's the large multi-seat sofa that you know and love, but built to withstand harsh weather conditions and all other outdoor happenings (sun! wind! wet bathing suit butts!). And let's be real: Securing spacious patio furniture = securing enthralling convos under the sunset, fun outdoor happy hours, and relaxing sunbathing sessions. So with that cold, hard data in mind, go ahead and look through my selection of the best outdoor sectionals on the market rn. They're comfy, they're cute, and they're a great investment in your future summer hangs. Read on, and prepare to sit pretty!
Stress will be a long gone forgotten concept with this set in your yard. The matching coffee table is so cute you might even want to bring it indoors come winter. Hey, it can really work anywhere.
🎵 Isn't she lovelyyyy? 🎵 Yes, yes she is. The Tulum sectional is pretty aptly named, because this couch will instantly transport you to the Mexican hotspot's warm weather and good times. The rattan frame is handwoven, so you really get that authentic, artisanal feel with this one.
We've got a timeless look on our hands, folks. The slatted wood on this couch gives it some "forever chic" vibes, and there are a number of distinct cushion colors to choose from. (The teal is to die for, you heard it here first.)
This set is UV-resistant and moisture-resistant, with some very breathable fabric. That means it can tough out the harshest weather conditions like a champ.
Now this sectional is giving what I like to call "California Cool Girl." Like, if it made a cameo on Kourtney's lawn in an episode of The Kardashians, I'd be anything but surprised. The sleek frame deserves national attention.
Okay, this set was simply made for relaxation. The deep seats and large armrests are ready and waiting for you to sink into them after a long day. Plus, there's plenty of room for guests to join in on your lounging fun.
Committing to this buy means you'll be with it for the long haul (which is obviously fab). Multiple reviewers say that it's extremely sturdy, and the high-quality materials stand up to rain, snow, or sunshine.
Outer is all about no-headache furniture. The fabric on these cushions is designed to dry in no time, and there are covers literally built into the seats. That's top-tier protection, babes.
Did someone say coastal grandmother? This set will give your patio classy beachside estate energy all year round, with the cutest matching coffee table to rest your glass of sauvy b.
Maybe you're Little Miss Popular, or maybe you've just got a large household to seat. Whatever the situation may be, this set is spacious, but not like, obnoxiously so. Plus, it's made to be arranged in a number of different ways. Party at your place!
Good luck not falling asleep on this sectional. The water-resistant cushions are filled with extra foam padding, so sunset naps out in the fresh air will become all the more tempting.
Listen, West Elm doesn't play around when it comes to their sectionals, and their outdoor ones are no exception. The Santa Fe collection you see here—which comes in several different pieces, so you can DIY your perfect shape—is made from moisture-resistant solid mahogany and eucalyptus wood. You know, in case you wanna flex to any visiting guests.
This Walmart lounge set is great for tons of reasons, both aesthetic and practical, but up there on the list is its cool bamboo frame. The material is lightweight, so it's easy to move around whenever you want to switch up the vibe.
With proper maintenance, patio furniture can last anywhere from two to 15 years! To ensure your sectional makes it to adolescence, here are a couple of care tips you'll wanna adopt:
Use a cover. This is included with many outdoor sectional purchases, but if not, make sure to buy a large-enough furniture cover to use whenever you head in for the night. Even if the cushions are water- and UV-resistant, covers will protect from dirt and stains, which can age the fabric.
Apply some furniture wax. Most outdoor sectional frames are made of wood or wicker. A layer of this product creates an extra barrier from dirt and moisture.
Wash those cushions on the reg. Take note of the wash instructions on your sectional's cushion fabric and make sure you care for it accordingly. Many are safe to throw in the machine, while others can be cleaned with detergent and a damp washcloth.
Our search for the best outdoor sectionals wasn't purely vanity driven! (Although yes, we know this furniture is very chic.) We also took firsthand reviews into account, to confirm that these babies are comfy, durable, and don't take decades to assemble. From there, we made sure to include a range of price points and sizes, so that you can find the perfect sectional for you—no matter your space or budget.
It's also really important to us that each of our shopping articles adheres to the 15 Percent Pledge, and we try to make sure the products we feature are good for both you and our planet. If we wouldn't buy something for ourselves, we sure as heck won't recommend it to you—and we're always gonna keep it really, really real. Pinky swear.
