If you live in a lightning-prone area, you need to practice some basic safety with your outdoor wicker furniture. First of all, you may want to invest in some wooden furniture, instead of furniture made of metal, or constructed on a metal frame, as this is far less likely to conduct electricity. Secondly, never sit in your furniture when it has become wet - especially if there is a storm nearby. You could have quite a shocking experience. Thirdly, don’t keep any electrical appliances outdoors, if they get wet and are exposed to the weather, you could get shocked simply handling them.
