The right outdoor sectional comes down to three things you can check on any listing: what the frame is made of, what the cushions are wrapped in, and whether the pieces will fit through your gate and onto your patio. On our store, outdoor sectionals use one of three frame types (powder coated aluminum, solid acacia wood, or resin wicker over steel), and the cushion fabric ranges from Rove Concepts outdoor fabric to olefin and polyester. This guide walks through each choice using the exact specs of the sectionals we sell, then covers modular configurations and the measurements that matter for delivery.
If you want the bigger picture on seat depth, cushion thickness and layout, read our deep seating patio set guide. For a climate by climate look at aluminum, teak, wicker and other materials, see the best patio furniture material.
Outdoor sectional frames we carry
Aluminum frames
The Rove Concepts Mika Outdoor Sectional Sofa and the Rove Concepts Dresden Outdoor Sectional Sofa are both listed with a high performance aluminum frame and fast dry foam. The Mika adds a fade resistant black powder coated finish. Aluminum suits buyers who want a low, modern profile and a frame that does not need oiling or sealing.
The Rove Concepts Bali Outdoor Sectional is a hybrid: an aluminum frame with a black powder coated finish, an acacia wood platform and taupe woven rope. Its listing also says it is tested to ANSI/BIFMA safety and durability standards.
Solid acacia wood frames
The Rove Concepts Hampton Outdoor Sectional and the Rove Concepts Bora Outdoor Sectional both use a solid acacia wood frame, offered in Palisade and Fresco finishes. The Bora includes adjustable floor leveling glides, which helps on pavers or a deck that is not perfectly flat. At a lower price point, the Benzara Liom 5pc Outdoor Sectional Sofa Set also uses acacia wood frames, with cross pattern armrests on the arm chairs.
Wicker outdoor sectional over a steel frame
The Elegant Outdoor Sectional Set is our resin wicker option: all weather flat resin wicker wrapped over a powder coated steel frame, with wood grain film on the tabletop and armrests. Because the frame underneath is steel, keep the powder coat intact; our material guide explains why steel needs more attention than aluminum.
Patio sectional with cushions: reading the fabric line
Every set here includes cushions, but listings describe them differently.
- Rove Concepts outdoor fabric: the Mika and Bali list a UV resistant fabric seat, and all five Rove sectionals are offered in Outdoor Fabric finishes. The Mika, Dresden and Bali are described as a firm feel. You can request fabric swatches before you order.
- Olefin: the Elegant set uses high density foam cushions with reversible olefin fabric covers. Reversible covers let you rotate wear and sun exposure.
- Polyester: the Benzara Liom lists an easy to clean, water resistant polyester fabric in dark gray, with densely padded backs and seats.
None of these listings name Sunbrella, so do not assume a specific branded acrylic unless the product page says so.
Protecting the cushions
Rove recommends its custom fit outdoor covers (sold separately) on the Mika and Bali listings. For storage habits and cover tips that apply to any patio sectional with cushions, see the covers section of our deep seating guide rather than repeating it here.
Modular pieces and configurations
You buy a sectional as pieces, so check what is included and how they join.
- Mika: one 3 seater piece and one arm piece (2 pieces). Available as preset or custom modular configurations. Connectors are not included or compatible for this collection.
- Dresden: 1 chaise with armrest and 1 armless sofa with a choice of add on. The armrest and side table insert can be attached interchangeably. The side table ships in a wooden crate, and tools are recommended for unboxing.
- Bora: available as 2 or 3 seater sofas, sectionals, chaises and a side table with storage space. The chaise can be assembled on either side.
- Hampton: available as a full sectional, two seaters and chaises, so you can mix and match.
- Bali: 3 armless pieces and 1 ottoman, as a preset or with pieces purchased separately.
- Elegant: left arm sofa, right arm sofa, a 2 height convertible table (coffee and dining use) and two ottomans, in an L shape that seats 6.
- Benzara Liom: right arm chair, left arm chair, armless chair, ottoman and table, seating three.
If your layout depends on which end the chaise or arm sits, read our explainer on left vs right facing sectionals before you order.

Measuring the patio and the delivery path
Overall size vs seat size
Overall width is the footprint; seat width is the usable cushion area. The Hampton is 116.5 in wide overall with a 111.4 in seat width, and the Bora is 127.9 in wide with a 98.8 in seat width. The Rove listings note that all measurements can vary by one tenth of an inch to 2 inches, so leave a little margin when a sectional must fit between a wall and a step.
Getting the pieces to the patio
Because a sectional arrives as separate pieces, measure the narrowest point on the route: side gates, garage doors, interior halls and any turn onto a deck. Compare that with the largest single piece, not the assembled set. The Elegant set lists a doorway width of 23.5 in, which is a useful reference. For Rove pieces, ask us for individual piece dimensions before you order if your access is tight.
Frequently asked questions
Is a wicker outdoor sectional a good choice?
Resin wicker gives a woven look, and our material guide explains why natural rattan is better kept to covered porches. The Elegant set we carry pairs all weather flat resin wicker with a powder coated steel frame, so the main care point is keeping the frame coating intact.
What should I look for in a patio sectional with cushions?
Check the fabric name on the listing (outdoor fabric, olefin or polyester), whether covers are reversible, the foam type, and whether fitted covers are sold. Order swatches when offered.
Can I add pieces to an outdoor sectional later?
On modular collections, yes. The Mika, Bali and Bora can be bought as preset configurations or as separate pieces, and the Hampton comes as two seaters and chaises you can mix and match. Note that Mika and Dresden connectors are not included or compatible.
Which outdoor sectional is the largest we sell?
By listed overall width, the Rove Concepts Dresden at 132.5 in, followed by the Bora at 127.9 in.
