Can outdoor furniture be put on the grass?

Q. We don't have a patio and I have no idea how to build one without interferring with other existing structures. We'd like an outdoor sitting area, though. Can outdoor furniture be put just on the grass? If so, does it matter what kind?

Please don't suggest picnic tables. They're too hard on my husband's back.

A. You can put it on the grass that's fine. A suggestion would be to put down some patio blocks under them. Just make a sitting area so you don't have to move every peice of furniture every time you mow. I would suggest getting some lawn furniture with the comfy seats (oversized cusions) for your husbands back. My dad has a bad back too.

What's the best type of outdoor furniture for a rainy climate?
Q. I live in the Pacific Northwest which is famous for its frequent rain. We relish the few months of nice weather we have, but even in the summertime we can get some rainfall. I want to have some outdoor furniture in our back yard, but I don't want it to be ruined if it gets wet. I like the idea of padded chairs, but since we don't have a shed or covered patio, they are likely to get rained on and I don't want them to grow mildewy or whatnot.

What materials are the best for rain?

A. Enamel coated extruded aluminum will outlast both of us. In any climate. It is a bit pricey, but if you wait until fall, you will find great sales.
