Anyone else dealing with parrot-safe patio seating?

We have a screened-in porch in Madison where our two conures spend supervised time most afternoons, and they climb all over everything. We're looking at outdoor seating for that space, and the more I read about outdoor furniture options for 2026, the more worried I get about coatings, treated wood, and off-gassing near the birds. One set we liked has a powder-coated aluminum frame and woven seats, which sounds easier to wipe down, but I can't tell whether the weave would snag little toes or eventually fray where beaks get to it. The other option is a simple untreated wood bench we'd seal ourselves with something bird-safe, though I'm unsure how that holds up through humid summers. I'd rather choose once than replace it in a year. If you keep parrots on a porch or patio, what materials have actually held up around climbing, chewing birds, and how did you handle the finish?

Here in Madison, our screened porch gets full afternoon sun, and my umbrella cockatoo has already chewed the corner of a resin side table down to splinters, so I'm replacing rather than repairing this spring. I'm leaning toward powder-coated aluminum frames with no painted finish, mainly because I'm unsure whether the coating chips and flakes once a beak gets working on it. Cushions are the bigger question, since anything I can't machine-wash with a fragrance-free detergent is out. I came across this comparison while looking at frame materials: Best Outdoor Furniture of 2026 https://ratethepick.com/category/outdoor-furniture. Has anyone found a cushion fabric that actually survives regular scrubbing?
