Broyhill Outdoor Sofa | Weather-Resistant Seating Collection
Our Eagle Brooke outdoor sofa brings living-room comfort to your patio with deep seating and fade-resistant upholstery. We engineered the rust-proof aluminum frame to withstand coastal humidity and temperature swings, while high-density foam cushions wrapped in Sunbrella fabric resist UV rays and moisture season after season.
We build every Broyhill outdoor sofa on rust-proof frames — aluminum alloy for the Eagle Brooke series and powder-coated steel for wicker models. Aluminum resists corrosion in salt air without any protective coating, making it our choice for homes within five miles of the ocean. Steel frames receive a multi-layer powder coat that seals out moisture and withstands impact from patio furniture being moved or bumped.
Cushion fabric and foam specifications
Sunbrella acrylic fabric covers our premium cushions, offering fade resistance that outlasts solution-dyed polyester by three to five years in direct sun. We source Sunbrella because the fiber is dyed before it’s woven into fabric — pigment saturates each strand, so fading reveals the same color rather than white core threads. Lab testing shows less than 5% color shift after 2,000 hours of UV exposure, equivalent to three summers of eight-hour daily sun.
Quick-dry foam cores
High-density polyurethane foam fills every cushion, formulated with open-cell structure that lets water drain through rather than pooling inside. After a rainstorm, the foam releases 90% of absorbed water within 60 minutes, and a mesh layer between foam and fabric accelerates evaporation. We skip fiberfill wraps that trap moisture — the foam sits directly against the Sunbrella shell with only the quick-dry mesh barrier. Cushion cores maintain their shape through hundreds of compressions, rated to retain 80% of original thickness after five years of regular use.
Dimensions and seating capacity
The Eagle Brooke sofa measures 84 inches wide, 37 inches deep, and 35 inches high, with a seat height of 17 inches — the same as most indoor sofas for easy sitting and standing. Seat depth reaches 34 inches from the front edge to the back cushion, giving you room to sit cross-legged or tuck your legs under you. Three adults fit comfortably with 28 inches of personal space each, and the center seat doesn’t sag because a crossbeam runs beneath the cushion platform.
Kinsley Cove models span 78 inches in width with a shallower 32-inch depth, suited for narrower patios or covered porches. The lower back height — 32 inches total — preserves views through porch screens and keeps the profile understated. Both sofas include lumbar bolsters that you can position for lower-back support or remove entirely if you prefer a deeper recline.

Common questions about Broyhill outdoor sofas
Yes, both the Eagle Brooke and Kinsley Cove models are engineered for uncovered outdoor use in all seasons. The aluminum and powder-coated steel frames resist rust without protective covers, and Sunbrella cushion fabric is rated for continuous UV exposure. That said, using a breathable furniture cover during winter months extends cushion lifespan by reducing exposure to freeze-thaw cycles and ice accumulation.
If you choose to cover the sofa, select a cover with vents to prevent moisture from being trapped underneath. Avoid plastic tarps, which create condensation that can lead to mildew on cushions.
Mix one cup of white vinegar with one gallon of warm water and apply the solution to mildew spots using a soft brush. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse with a hose. For stubborn mildew, add one tablespoon of dish soap to the vinegar solution.
Sunbrella fabric resists mildew growth, but spores can still develop if cushions remain wet for extended periods in humid climates. After treating mildew, ensure cushions dry completely in direct sunlight before putting them back on the sofa. Remove and wash cushion covers every two months if you live in high-humidity regions.
The Eagle Brooke aluminum-frame sofa supports up to 500 pounds evenly distributed across the seat, which accommodates three adults comfortably. The Kinsley Cove wicker model has a 450-pound capacity due to its steel frame construction.
These ratings assume weight is spread across the entire seat surface. Concentrated weight on a single cushion — such as standing on the sofa — can stress the frame beyond design limits and void the warranty.
Yes, all Broyhill outdoor sofas ship with seat and back cushions included in the purchase price. Cushions feature Sunbrella fabric covers filled with high-density quick-dry foam. Lumbar bolster pillows are also included with each sofa.
Replacement cushions and covers are available for purchase separately if you want to change colors or replace worn cushions after several years of use. Cushion dimensions are listed in the product specifications to help you order the correct size.
Absolutely — covered porches and screened patios are ideal environments for outdoor sofas because they reduce direct sun and rain exposure. The Kinsley Cove wicker model is particularly popular for covered spaces due to its refined aesthetic and lower back height, which preserves views through screens.
Even under a roof, ensure the sofa has adequate airflow around it to prevent moisture from being trapped against the frame and cushions. Leave at least six inches of clearance behind the sofa and avoid positioning it directly against exterior walls.
Wash Sunbrella cushion covers every two to three months during active use seasons, or whenever they appear visibly soiled. In dusty or high-pollen regions, monthly washing prevents buildup that can bond to the fabric and become harder to remove.
Use cold water on a gentle machine cycle with mild liquid detergent. Air dry the covers flat or hang them on a clothesline — never use a dryer, as heat can shrink the fabric. The covers are designed to stretch slightly when wet, then return to their original dimensions as they air dry.
Sunbrella cushion fabric on Broyhill outdoor sofas is solution-dyed, meaning pigment is integrated into the acrylic fibers before weaving. This construction resists fading far better than printed or surface-dyed fabrics. Lab tests show less than 5 percent color shift after 2,000 hours of UV exposure, equivalent to three full summers.
Aluminum and powder-coated steel frames also resist color change from sun exposure. Wicker models use UV-stabilized resin strands that maintain their espresso or gray finish without bleaching. While no outdoor furniture is completely fade-proof over decades, Broyhill sofas retain their appearance significantly longer than budget alternatives.
