So I have a screened in porch with a roof but I live in Mass so we get some pretty bad weather and snow and rain do get in if it’s windy. My husband and I went to Pier one and we mixed and matched a great patio set with pillows, a loveseat, table, small table everything, it was perfect and in our price range……..only to find out it was mostly indoor stuff!! They had all their outdoor furniture and indoor wicker/cushions mixed together and not separated. it was quite frustrating..
anyways, has anyone used indoor wicker on a porch?

I am moving into a upstairs of a double house, and their is a top porch but it is not covered. I want to get a patio set but I don’t want to spend A lot of money and it get ruined or have to pull in it every time it rains. I looked into getting an awning for the porch but they are like 1,000′s of dollars and I am only renting the place. I was thinking white plastic chairs but don’t want it to look tacking and cheap I just want to get something that looks nice and wont we ruin… please any help is greatly apperciated.
I saw one of those "Sell this house" programs and they had a white metal patio set.
The "BIG " guy said to paint it black, so they did, no primer nothing, just took black paint and painted it.
Are they right? I want to do the same, should I use a primer?
