How does PVC’s resistance to termites compare to wood composite benches?

When choosing outdoor furniture, termite resistance is a critical factor. PVC benches excel in this regard, as they are inherently termite-proof due to their synthetic composition. Unlike wood composite benches, which contain organic materials that can attract termites, PVC does not provide a food source for these pests. This makes PVC a more durable and low-maintenance option for long-term outdoor use. Wood composites, while treated for resistance, may still degrade over time if exposed to termites. For those prioritizing longevity and minimal upkeep, PVC is the clear winner.
