In need of a plastic patio bench for your home? You're in the right place.

These types of benches are lightweight, weatherproof, and often portable. Want to go camping? You've got your go-to bench right with you. Same goes for picnics, pool parties, and more.

What's more, these types of synthetic porch pieces often don't require any type of maintenance whatsoever. If you don't have time to carefully coat your furniture with weather-resistant coverings, then plastic might be a great choice for you.

Why go plastic? There are many reasons that a plastic patio bench is in your future, including the following:

Plastic furniture tends to be more cost-effective than metal, wood, or iron equivalents. If you have a large family or tend to entertain outdoors often, you can pick up enough comfortable seating for everyone without breaking the bank.
Plastic isn't brittle. It isn't fragile. For the most part, it's fairly unbreakable. If you have young children or large animals at home, buy plastic - you won't have to worry about keeping it safe. However, on the other hand, it also isn't as hard or sharp as metal or iron; if you have very young children, you don't need to worry as much about the dangers of sharp corners.
Wood can develop cracks. Metal will rust over time. Plastic, on the other hand, will look the same years after you got it as it does the day you bring it home. There's good value for your investment in this type of long-lasting furniture.
If you want your porch furniture to be in a specific shade to match your home's aesthetic, you're going to need to paint or stain it, if you bring home a metal, iron, or wood piece. With plastic, you can completely skip that step. Plastic comes in a wide array of colors from the get-go; you don't have to do anything to it to get the shade you want!

When you're looking for the best type of patio furniture to lend comfort and charm to your home, it's clear that plastic's the way to go. Wondering which type will look best for you? Let's check out some popular offerings…

Looking to improve the aesthetics of your outdoor living area? Need a place you can stow things that don’t need to be in sight all of the time? This deep, roomy bench with a cushion and a large crate underneath the seating area fits the bill precisely. Available in three colors!

If you’re hoping to find a plastic bench that doesn’t necessarily look plastic, this is your best bet. With wrapped-around dowels that contour to your spine, this plastic bench even offers up an ergonomic feel. No need to worry about leaving this one outside: it’s water, UV, and rust-resistant at all times.

Maybe your home’s look doesn’t lend itself to lattices and scrollwork. This opaque, mod bench is comfortable and looks professionally-designed. The slanted arms, especially, give it a very modern, artsy feel. (As an additional plus, it arrives fully-assembled - you don’t have to do a thing before you begin enjoying your bench!)

Have a circular spot in your backyard (perhaps around a fire)? If so, a straight bench may not cut it. With this curved number, you can fit several people. This curved backless bench comes in cedar, brown, gray or green. (However, if you need a back, this might not be the one for you.)

The look of historic stone benches with gorgeous sculptural work on the legs has long been relegated to museums and parks - until now. This plastic bench completely mimics lovely stone seating areas from times past - with baroque floral legs and a tough surface. These classic pieces will be in style for years to come.

Adirondack chairs are very comfortable to sit in; but the wood out of which they’re usually made can rot, attract mold and mildew, and even pose the risk of splinters. Enter: This plastic version. Available in several colors, this Adirondack lookalike will give you the same appeal, in a much safer and longer-lasting way.

If you need a place to set down your belongings, but don’t have room for a table, don’t fret: The back of this convertible bench folds upwards to present a handy flat surface. With smoothly curving legs and a plank back that mimics wood, this bench looks good and is very useful, no matter where you put it.

This bench definitely doesn’t look plastic! If you crave the convenience of synthetic materials but want the high-end look of polished wood, this is your best bet. The low back is ornamental and supportive; and this bench comes with weatherproof cushions that will make sitting on this plastic bench a complete pleasure.
