    Can I put a regular sofa outside? If so what type would be best(cmon ladies of OT help me out here)

    fwiw I live in a high rise in vegas with a small patio, so it could possibly get wet, but not much, and won't get very dirty.

    basically the way I look at is a regular sofa(or a futon) is way cheaper than buying actual patio furniture + its more comfortable.

    thanks!

    if you put a regular sofa outside, in the elements, the fabric will sour and mildew from getting wet

    you would have to have it recovered with water resistant fabric - and it can't have a frame that is made out of compressed wood because that will also absorb moisture and deteriorate

    Thats ghetto as hell.

    If you ever drive through the ghetto, you see this.

    My neighbors had a recliner out front their place. It lasted like a month.

    I think it wouldnt be that bad as long as its under some sort of roof. You live in vegas so it wont be too bad.

    If I were you, i prolly would of done it already.
