Outdoor Wicker Sectionals

Build an Outdoor Sectional for Your Space

An outdoor wicker sectional is assembled from individual modular pieces rather than one fixed sofa frame. This gives you the flexibility to create a compact two- or three-piece arrangement, an L-shaped conversation area, or a larger seating configuration for entertaining.

Sectional pieces should generally come from the same Lloyd Flanders collection. Matching pieces are designed to share compatible dimensions, cushion heights, frame proportions, woven materials, and connection points.

Understanding Outdoor Sectional Pieces

Each type of sectional unit serves a specific purpose within the finished configuration.

• Armless sectional chairs: Add seating between other components and can often be used to extend either side of the arrangement.
• Corner sectional chairs: Create a right-angle turn while providing a usable seat in the corner.
• Wedge corner units: Form a softer angled transition between adjoining seating sections.
• Left- and right-arm chairs: Provide a finished arm at the outside end of the sectional.
• Sectional loveseats: Add two-seat sections while reducing the number of individual frames required.
• Sectional chaise lounges: Extend the seating surface so a person can recline with full leg support.

Choosing Left- and Right-Arm Sectional Pieces

Left- and right-arm designations identify the side of the piece with the finished arm. However, orientation terminology can be interpreted from different viewing positions. Always confirm the product photograph, description, model number, and intended configuration before ordering.

Sketch the complete sectional from above and label every component. Identify where the finished outside arms, corners, armless seats, and chaise sections must be positioned. This simple step can prevent ordering a piece with the arm on the wrong side.

Measure the Complete Sectional Configuration

Measure the patio or deck before selecting individual pieces. Record the maximum usable width and depth, then account for doors, steps, railings, columns, grills, fire features, and major walking routes.

Use the manufacturer’s overall configuration measurements whenever they are available. Do not assume that adding the listed widths of individual pieces will always produce the exact assembled dimension because adjoining frames may connect or overlap differently.

• Leave walking space: Maintain comfortable routes around the sectional and between nearby tables.
• Check door clearance: Make sure the sectional does not interfere with doors or access points.
• Plan the focal point: Orient the seating toward the view, fireplace, pool, television, or conversation area.
• Allow table clearance: Leave enough space to comfortably reach and move around a coffee or chat table.

Sectional Chaise Lounges

A sectional chaise creates an extended lounging position at one end of the arrangement. It can add comfort without requiring a separate chair and ottoman, but it also increases the sectional’s overall depth.

Compare sectional chaise components with our complete selection of outdoor chaise lounges. Confirm whether the chaise is a standalone piece or must be attached to other sectional components.

Lloyd Loom and Resin Wicker Sectionals

Lloyd Loom wicker is produced through a proprietary weaving process that creates a smooth, continuous wicker material reinforced for strength. Resin wicker is hand-woven over durable framing and offers a more dimensional woven appearance.

Both materials are designed for outdoor environments, but pieces from different collections should not be assumed to connect or align correctly. Build the primary sectional from one collection and use coordinating tables, chairs, and ottomans to complete the surrounding space.

For Lloyd Loom sectional furniture, compare available colors through the Lloyd Loom wicker finish swatches page.

Customize Your Sectional Cushions

Lloyd Flanders sectional cushions are available in outdoor performance fabrics selected for comfort, durability, and design flexibility. Using the same fabric across all sectional pieces creates a unified appearance, while coordinating accent pillows can introduce additional color and pattern.

Browse the Lloyd Flanders Fabric Gallery before finalizing your sectional. Fabric colors may appear different on a screen, so ordering physical swatches is recommended when color matching is important.

Complete Your Outdoor Conversation Area

A sectional usually works best with a table that can be reached from several seating positions. Consider the available open space inside the configuration when choosing the table’s dimensions and shape.

Browse outdoor coffee tables for a central surface. Ottomans and end tables can provide additional flexibility without crowding the primary conversation area.

If you prefer a single fixed frame instead of modular seating, compare these sectionals with our outdoor wicker sofas.

Caring for Outdoor Wicker Sectionals

Remove loose dirt and pollen regularly. Clean woven frames with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or brush, rinse thoroughly, and allow the furniture to dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.

Brush dirt from cushions and treat spills promptly according to the recommendations for the selected fabric. Allow cushions to dry completely after becoming wet and store or cover them during prolonged severe weather when practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can sectional pieces from different collections be combined?

Generally, no. Pieces from different collections may have incompatible frame depths, cushion heights, arm designs, connection points, and woven finishes. Build the sectional using components from the same collection.

How do I determine whether I need a left- or right-arm piece?

Draw the sectional arrangement from above and identify which outside end requires the finished arm. Then confirm the orientation using the manufacturer’s product image and description before ordering.

Can I add more pieces to my outdoor sectional later?

Often, yes, provided the matching collection and components remain available. Ordering the full planned configuration together helps maintain consistent finishes, fabrics, and production availability.

Does a sectional chaise work as a standalone lounge chair?

Some chaise pieces can function independently, while others are designed specifically to connect to a sectional. Review the individual product description before using a sectional component by itself.

How should I measure for an outdoor sectional?

Measure the maximum usable width and depth of the area, mark doors and walking routes, and compare those measurements with the complete assembled configuration. Allow additional clearance for tables and movement around the furniture.
