Generally speaking, rattan chairs are woven from natural rattan or synthetic materials, which have certain water resistance and toughness. However, rattan chairs made of different materials have varying abilities to absorb and tolerate moisture. Natural rattan has a certain degree of water absorption, and moderate amounts of rainwater can make it more flexible. However, prolonged or excessive soaking in rainwater may cause the rattan to expand, deform, or even mold. Artificially synthesized rattan chair materials are usually more resistant to moisture, but it is still important to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
In terms of climate, the southern region has a relatively humid climate with more rainfall, so placing rattan chairs outdoors may be more susceptible to moisture and mold. However, the climate in northern regions is relatively dry with less rainfall, and rattan chairs placed outdoors are less affected by rainwater. However, regardless of the region, excessive or prolonged rainfall may have adverse effects on rattan chairs.
From a maintenance perspective, if you want the rattan chair to maintain good condition and extend its service life, it is recommended to move it indoors or take rain shelter measures on rainy days. This can prevent the rattan chair from being damp and moldy for a long time, while reducing wear and fading caused by rainwater erosion.
