What's in this guide:

Quick Answer: For most Wasatch Front homes, cast aluminum frames with solution-dyed acrylic cushions are the most practical starting point. They're wind-stable, UV-resistant, and low-maintenance at 4,300 feet. For Park City and mountain properties, choose materials that handle sustained snow and temperature swings year-round: cast aluminum, Ipe wood, or POLYWOOD all hold up well. The right answer depends on your specific neighborhood, how you use your space, and how much maintenance you actually want to do.

Utah's outdoor living season is longer than most people expect. Salt Lake City averages more than 220 sunny days a year, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, putting it among the sunniest metros in the country. The UV intensity at 4,300 feet is meaningfully higher than what most patio furniture is designed and tested for. Park City winters are a different story: sustained snow load, hard temperature swings between day and night, and afternoon summer thunderstorms that stress every joint and fabric in a furniture line.

Most national furniture retailers don't have specialists who understand what any of that actually means for a purchase decision. At Leisure Living, it's been our only job for more than four decades.

This guide covers what Utah homeowners should know before buying, what to prioritize based on where you live, and how to find the right patio furniture at Leisure Living in Salt Lake City and the Christy Sports patio showrooms at Kimball Junction in Park City and Salt Lake City.

What Utah's Climate Does to Outdoor Furniture

Utah isn't one climate. It's two, with meaningfully different implications for which furniture holds up and which doesn't.

Quick comparison: Wasatch Front vs. Park City

Wasatch Front (SLC)

  • Elevation: 4,200-4,500 ft
  • Primary challenge: High UV, canyon wind
  • Winter strategy: Store cushions; frames can stay out
  • Umbrella base: Heavy-duty for wind exposure

Park City / Kimball Junction

  • Elevation: 6,500-7,000 ft
  • Primary challenge: Snow load, temperature cycling
  • Winter strategy: Choose year-round materials or store everything
  • Umbrella base: Standard; wind less directional

East Bench: Wind and UV

At 4,200 to 4,500 feet, the UV intensity on the Wasatch Front runs well above the coastal benchmarks most manufacturers use when rating fabric durability. Surface-coated fabrics look fine in a showroom and often come with a generic "fade-resistant" label, but at Utah elevations, UV doesn't just fade them. It shaves the color off. Think of a radish: the color sits on the outside, and any abrasion removes it. That's how surface-coated fabric works. Solution-dyed acrylic is more like a carrot: the color runs through the entire fiber, so UV can wear at the surface without changing what's underneath. At this altitude, that structural difference is the only reason we recommend solution-dyed acrylic exclusively. The gap between the two becomes visible by year three.

The east bench neighborhoods of Olympus Hills, Holladay, and Millcreek bring a challenge that the valley floor doesn't: wind. Canyon mouths channel consistent, directional airflow that can tip a lightweight umbrella or slide an undersized base across a deck. Umbrella base weight matters more here than in most markets, and heavier frames perform better than lighter ones in exposed locations.

Todd's Pro Tip: The east bench gets a different wind pattern than buyers expect. It's not occasional gusts. It's consistent, directional airflow coming through the canyon mouths. I've seen undersized umbrella bases end up across a deck after a routine afternoon. If your patio faces east or sits exposed on the bench, size your base heavier than you think you need and look for frames with more heft. It makes a real difference.

Valley Floor and Sugarhouse

Valley floor and Sugarhouse neighborhoods are somewhat more sheltered but still see the same Wasatch Front UV exposure. Winters here are cold and do produce temperature swings, but conditions are far less demanding than Park City. Most quality cast aluminum furniture can stay outside through a Wasatch Front winter with cushions brought in.

For umbrella guidance specific to Wasatch Front wind conditions, see our Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Patio Umbrella.

Park City and Kimball Junction

At 6,500 to 7,000 feet, Park City delivers what you'd expect from a working mountain town. Snow load is real and sustained. Temperatures swing significantly between day and night through the shoulder seasons, which stresses joints and hardware on lower-quality frames over time. Summer afternoons bring UV levels that most buyers underestimate even when they know they're at elevation.

Many Park City buyers are furnishing a second home or mountain property, and the priority is usually furniture that handles winter without requiring much intervention. That changes the materials conversation considerably compared to a primary-residence patio on the valley floor.

Todd's Pro Tip: Park City buyers often want to arrive at the property and have the patio ready, not spend the first afternoon of their trip uncovering and setting up furniture. If that's you, material choice is the whole conversation. POLYWOOD and Ipe both stay outside year-round with essentially no intervention. Cast aluminum performs well year-round too, as long as cushions are covered or stored. Anything else, and you're adding tasks to every visit.

Leisure Living: Utah's Outdoor Living Specialist

Leisure Living isn't a ski shop that added a patio section. Outdoor furniture has been the entire business since the store opened on 900 East in Salt Lake City. Today it's Utah's largest outdoor patio furniture store: one dedicated location, open year-round, staffed entirely by patio specialists, backed by a 67,000 sq ft warehouse that makes in-stock depth and fast delivery possible at a scale most specialty retailers can't match. Christy Sports operates patio showrooms at Kimball Junction in Park City and Olympus Hills in Salt Lake City as well, but the 900 East flagship carries the widest collection range and the deepest inventory.

More than four decades of working with Wasatch Front homeowners mean the Leisure Living team has seen what the east bench wind does to an umbrella, what a Park City winter does to a cushion stored in an unheated garage, and which collections consistently hold up in this market across many seasons.

The store's roots go deeper than 1982. Leisure Living continues the legacy of the South East Furniture Company, founded in Sugarhouse in 1925 by Horace A. Sorensen, one of the Wasatch Front's earliest retail furniture businesses. That 100-year legacy means the team has tracked Utah's weather patterns across generations, seeing firsthand which materials from the 1980s are still standing on SLC patios today and which ones didn't survive a decade.

As part of the Christy Sports family, Leisure Living draws on buying expertise from a network that spans Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Washington. That regional scale provides vendor access and collection depth a standalone local retailer wouldn't have, while the store's team knows this market at a neighborhood level.

What to expect when you visit:

In-Store Design Process. Every project starts with a diagnostic conversation. A Leisure Living specialist will ask about dimensions, sun exposure, wind conditions, how your household actually uses the space, and your maintenance tolerance before pointing you toward a collection. That upfront specificity is how the team avoids the most common purchasing mistakes.

Custom Orders. If what you're looking for isn't on the floor, that's not the end of the conversation. Leisure Living has access to thousands of additional configurations, fabrics, and finishes across the full vendor lineup. For details on how the custom process works and what to expect on timing, see our Custom Patio Furniture in Colorado [add link]. The same process applies to Utah orders.

White Glove Delivery and Setup. Once your furniture is ready, the local team handles everything. Your order arrives assembled, inspected, and placed where it belongs. If something needs adjusting during setup, the team takes care of it on site.

Ongoing Support. The relationship doesn't end at delivery. Leisure Living offers continued support for maintenance questions, furniture covers, warranty claims, repairs, and future additions to your setup.

Patio Furniture for Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front

Leisure Living Salt Lake City, 2208 South 900 East

The Leisure Living showroom is the flagship location in the Christy Sports network and carries the deepest patio assortment of any location in the system, including several collections not available at any other Utah location.

For east bench buyers in Olympus Hills, Holladay, and Millcreek, cast aluminum is the right place to start given the wind and UV exposure specific to those neighborhoods. The Kenzo by Tropitone, a cast aluminum collection that has led Christy Sports chainwide patio sales for multiple seasons, is on the floor in both dining and deep seating configurations. The full OW Lee lineup is here as well: Monterra, Urban Scale Monterra, and Aris in deep seating, with the Marin collection in dining and deep seating available exclusively at this location within the Utah market. OW Lee offers one of the widest customization ranges in the lineup, with four frame colors and six fabric options.

For valley floor and Sugarhouse buyers, the Siena by Ebel has been a consistent performer for customers configuring larger setups. It's cast aluminum with both dining and deep seating in-store. The Ebel Orleans is the only collection in the entire Christy Sports lineup offered across full dining, deep seating, and accessory seating configurations, and it's available at the SLC showroom and nowhere else in Utah. For buyers drawn to a traditional look with premium construction, Berkeley by Castelle delivers the warmth of natural wood grain with the durability of cast aluminum through its Brushed Weatherwood frame.

For natural material options, Sky by Jensen Outdoor in Ipe wood comes in both dining and deep seating, and Jensen Outdoor Ipe accent seating is on the floor as well. Kingsley Bate Spencer, the flagship teak collection in the lineup, is in-store. Les Jardins Bastingage in sling construction and Koton are the go-to options for buyers who want quality furniture without the seasonal cushion storage routine. To learn more about extending your season with a fire feature, see How to Select the Perfect Fire Pit or browse the full fire pit collection.

Leisure Living SLC is also a full POLYWOOD destination, the American-made HDPE brand built to stay outside year-round with no maintenance. The Edge sectional is a strong starting point for SLC buyers who want a modern aesthetic with true all-season durability.

Christy Sports Olympus Hills also carries patio furniture starting in April, making it a convenient option for east bench buyers who want to browse closer to home. See store details in the Areas We Serve section below.

Patio Furniture for Park City and Kimball Junction

Christy Sports Kimball Junction, 6622 N. Landmark Dr., Park City

The Kimball Junction patio showroom is calibrated for what mountain property buyers actually need: collections that handle sustained snow, temperature cycling, and high-altitude UV without demanding much from the owner in return.

For Park City buyers who want furniture that holds up year-round with minimal intervention, cast aluminum is a strong starting point. The Berkeley by Castelle, with its Brushed Weatherwood frame, is particularly well-suited to mountain conditions. It delivers a premium, natural aesthetic without the maintenance demands that come with actual wood. All three OW Lee collections, Monterra, Urban Scale Monterra, and Aris, are on the Kimball floor in deep seating, giving buyers who want a specific configuration the widest range of frame and fabric options in the lineup.

For buyers who prefer a natural material, the conversation usually starts with Sky by Jensen Outdoor. Ipe is denser than teak and handles mountain winters better than almost any natural wood. Jensen Outdoor Ipe accent seating is also in-store at Kimball.

Todd's Pro Tip: The Reality of "No Maintenance"

We call Ipe "low maintenance," but it is important to define what that means for your schedule. Structurally, Ipe is a tank. It will likely outlast the deck it sits on without any help. However, maintenance-free does not mean unchanging. High-altitude UV eventually turns the deep brown into a silver-grey patina. To keep the dark wood look, you must oil it annually. If you prefer a silver patina that blends into the landscape, you never have to touch it. Choose your preferred look before you buy.

For buyers who want to eliminate cushion storage entirely, Les Jardins Bastingage in sling construction and Koton are both in-store. These are strong options for decks that get heavy use through the shoulder seasons.

The full Kimball lineup also includes Siena by Ebel in cast aluminum, along with Homecrest Stella and Blair in dining, Kenzo by Tropitone in dining, and Kingsley Bate Spencer and Corsica in teak.

For Park City buyers considering POLYWOOD, it's worth asking the Kimball team what's currently on the floor. POLYWOOD Adirondacks, built from recycled HDPE lumber, are a natural fit for a mountain deck and require nothing in the way of maintenance year-round. POLYWOOD's color range is also worth considering as a functional choice, not just an aesthetic one. In the monochromatic winters of Park City, a bold colorway provides a necessary visual anchor for the property when the landscaping is under snow.

How to Get Started

Start with your conditions, not a collection.

Wasatch Front buyers and Park City buyers have genuinely different priorities. If you're furnishing both a primary SLC home and a Park City property, they may call for different materials altogether. Leisure Living and the Christy Sports Kimball Junction showroom are both built to start with this question, because getting the materials right is what determines whether you're happy with your purchase five years from now, not just five weeks from now.

Know what low maintenance means to you.

This question sounds simple but it matters. Cast aluminum can live outside year-round with cushions stored. Ipe requires nothing structurally. POLYWOOD is completely maintenance-free. Teak needs annual oiling. Understanding your actual tolerance before you fall in love with a specific look saves real frustration down the road.

Come in before you've made up your mind.

The collections at Leisure Living SLC and Kimball Junction are curated for Utah conditions. A 20-minute walk-through with a specialist typically saves buyers two or three return trips and at least one purchasing mistake.

Frequently Asked Questions

What patio furniture holds up best in Salt Lake City winters?

Cast aluminum is the most consistent recommendation for Wasatch Front conditions, pairing wind stability with UV resistance and low maintenance. For cushion fabrics at Utah elevations, solution-dyed acrylic is the practical baseline. Bring cushions in during extended snow periods and most quality cast aluminum furniture holds up for a decade or more.

Can I leave patio furniture outside year-round in Park City?

Yes, with the right materials. Ipe wood handles mountain winters without requiring structural sealants or oils. POLYWOOD is completely impervious to moisture and designed for year-round outdoor use. Cast aluminum also performs well year-round with cushions covered or stored. For more on how specific materials perform at altitude, see our Guide to Choosing Patio Furniture for Utah Homes.

Does Leisure Living offer custom patio furniture orders in Utah?

Yes. Custom ordering is available at both the Leisure Living SLC showroom and Kimball Junction. Lead times typically run four to eight weeks. For details on the full custom process, see our Custom Patio Furniture in Colorado.

What's the difference between the SLC and Kimball Junction showrooms?

Leisure Living SLC on 900 East is the flagship, with the widest selection in the network and several collections available only at that Utah location. Kimball Junction is built around the Park City and mountain property buyer, with a lineup focused on higher-altitude conditions and year-round durability. If you're furnishing a Park City property and want to see the broadest range of options, the SLC showroom is worth the trip.

Is there a showroom near Olympus Hills or Holladay?

Yes. Christy Sports Olympus Hills opens its patio showroom in April and is the most convenient option for east bench buyers. See full address and hours in the Areas We Serve section below. The Leisure Living SLC showroom is open year-round and carries the widest selection of the three Utah locations.

Do you work with commercial clients?

Yes. Leisure Living and Christy Sports provide full-service support for hotels, restaurants, resorts, and multi-unit properties, from initial design through delivery, installation, and long-term warranty support. Commercial clients can expect a dedicated point of contact, contract-grade product options, and service built around the pace and scale of a commercial project.
