For marine climates, at De Tropen we recommend materials that won’t rust or degrade in salt air. High-quality powder-coated aluminum is the top choice due to its lightness and strength. Teak wood (rich in natural oils) and 316 stainless steel are also ideal for withstanding corrosion and the intense sun of coastal areas.

Teak is extremely durable. If you prefer the natural grayish tone it acquires over time, occasional cleaning with water and mild soap is sufficient. To maintain the original golden color, apply a specific teak cleaner and protector once or twice a year. Always avoid using high-pressure washers, as they can damage the wood fibers. Important: if you plan to cover your teak outdoor furniture, the wood must be completely dry and the cover must be breathable.

Although our materials are designed to withstand the elements, we recommend using high-quality, breathable covers during the off-season. This prevents the buildup of dirt, pollen, and limescale, making it easier to prepare for spring. Always ensure your furniture is dry before covering it.

Certainly. We are home to the largest outdoor furniture showroom in Spain, located in Vélez-Málaga. At our facilities, you can experience the comfort, finishes, and quality of our collections in person. Furthermore, our team of experts is available to provide no-obligation advice for your outdoor decor project.

At De Tropen, we work with technical fabrics like Sunbrella® and Olefin, which are water-repellent and UV-resistant. Many of our sets feature QuickDry Foam technology, which allows water to drain quickly, preventing mold. However, we recommend storing them or protecting them with covers during prolonged periods of rain to extend their lifespan.

At De Tropen, we want you to shop with peace of mind. If a product doesn’t meet your expectations or arrives with a problem, you can easily manage it according to our returns and warranty policy, with the support of our team. All our products come with the current legal warranty, but in addition, many of our premium brands offer extended warranties of up to 5 or 20 years on aluminum frames and synthetic fibers, reflecting our confidence in the durability of the furniture we select.

Our high-end garden furniture (sofas, armchairs, coffee tables) is delivered fully assembled in Málaga and Granada by our delivery drivers. Although most pieces require minimal assembly to ensure structural stability, they come with everything needed and simple, clear assembly instructions.
