Winters in Troy bring stretches of freezing weather and the freeze-thaw swings that work the fasteners loose on a cheap patio set, so outdoor furniture in Troy, Ohio has to hold up to more than a single season. Most of the collections we carry are made from recycled poly lumber, with Marine Grade Polymer on select lines and powder-coated aluminum where a lighter frame makes sense, all put together with stainless steel hardware. None of it rots, splinters, or asks you for a weekend of sanding and restaining every spring. Set a couple of chairs out on a deck in Willow Creek and the only upkeep they need is an occasional rinse with the hose.
The right piece depends a lot on the kind of home it sits behind. The 1820s houses along the Second Street Historic District were built for deep front porches, where a glider or a pair of rockers suits the proportions better than anything bulky. Out in subdivisions like Somerset Reserve and Rosewood Creek, the action is in back — a dining set on the patio, a sectional on the deck for the families who actually live in their yards. A place like Northbrook does fine with a bistro set and two Adirondacks angled toward the grill. With 400+ color combinations to choose from, matching any of it to your trim or your front door is the easy part.
A lot of what people buy here earns its keep in June, when the Strawberry Festival pulls the whole town down to the levee and the backyard cookouts run all weekend. A patio dining set handles the graduation parties and the Sunday crowds; a sectional or a row of Adirondacks is where everyone lands once the food is gone. A fire pit table keeps the porch in use deep into the cool October evenings, and a porch swing is for the quiet mornings with coffee before the rest of the house is up. There are kids’ tables too, so the youngest aren’t stuck reaching up to the grown-up table. Browse the collections below to start picturing yours.
