You need outdoor furniture to get the most out of a great yard. Today, you can get lawn and garden furniture in a variety of materials including plastics, wrought iron, aluminum and wood. At AdirondackChairInc, we believe that quality cedar is the best choice for your patio furniture and would like to explain why. First, let us look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of other materials. Both plastic and aluminum are commonly used to manufacture inexpensive outdoor lawn furniture. Both are light, cheap and will not rust. Unfortunately, they are very light and this type of chair is often not very strong. It is also common for these designs to not be particularly stable. Wrought iron is attractive, heavy and also treated to be rust resistant. Relatively thin feet on chairs and tables often leads to sinking in soft ground or snagging on decking, though. Because the ground is often uneven, outdoor seats need a wide base for stability that many wrought iron designs do not have because they were modeled after outdoor cafe sets that were meant to be used on pavement.

Cedar Outdoor Lawn Furniture

Wood is an extremely common building material and cedar is often used in outdoor applications. Natural oils contained in cedar make it both naturally weather and insect resistant. It is also a very straight wood that is not prone to warp as it ages. Just as cedar is a great material for a porch or fence, it is also perfect for outdoor lawn furniture. At AdirondackChairInc we reinforce the wood's natural strengths with all weather paint and rust resistant hardware. The classic design of the Adirondack style chair is very stable. It is probably not impossible to knock over an Adirondack chair, but it is fairly difficult! The same design also leads to a great angle that makes the style extremely comfortable. The footing of these chairs is also typically much wider than gaps in decking to prevent snagging. At AdirondackChairInc, we believe that when you take cost, duality, comfort and stability into consideration, there is no better value in lawn and garden furniture than our style of cedar tables and chairs.
