Wicker furniture made with plastic fiber is durable and will withstand rain/heavy rain. However, it the furniture has metal accessories or is decorated with aluminum or other metal components there is a good chance the metal will tarnish, therefore, it is unadvisable to leave furniture permanently in the rain. If this is not convenient, there are water repellant product available. Applications on these areas should help preserve the furniture..
