Polywood furniture

When walking through a typical home improvement store most assosiates on the floor won't know the difference between plastic & polywood patio furniture. You need to understand that the typical plastic outdoor patio furniture that you usually see sitting in on your neighbor's deck sucks.It's easy to move, falls over every time the wind picks up, and warps and cracks even without use if left in the sun for a year. You typically find this plastic furniture only available in white or green, with a few exceptions. If you leave it in the blistering sun it has to be donated away every 12 months due to the cracks that it seems to develop?

Polywood outdoor furniture, on the other hand, is a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic which is made from recycled milk jugs, bottles and containers. The HDPE plastic is then formed into standard wood profiles that will later be cut, drilled and screwed into renewable outdoor furniture, decking, and a variety of commercial uses that are designed to last a lifetime. Polywood outdoor furniture is a modest weight and will withstand the typical 5-15 mph winds as the lightest polywood adirondack chair weighs about 40 pounds.

There are now several poly lumber furniture manufacturers taking the outdoor patio furniture market by storm. The manufacturer pushing the envelope is Poly-Wood outdoor furniture which is a name brand for recycled poly lumber furniture. PolyWood outdoor furniture may cost you more initially however is a far wiser investment when you consider the longevity of the outdoor furniture and the virtually maintenance free qualities. Poly-Wood outdoor furniture includes a warranty which promises that it will not rust, split or splinter. PolyWood outdoor furniture uses commercial grade stainless steel with an additional “Xylan” protective and cosmetic coating. All these features were designed on purpose to create sustainable outdoor furniture built to last decades.

Poly-Wood outdoor furniture is available in a wide variety of styles to complement any outdoor environment. You can expect to find at least six basic colors and six bright colors for this classic Adirondack chair. Also, you can find Traditional Benches, Rockers, Gliders, Dining and Bistro Tables, Dining Chairs and Bistro Chairs and Swings all made out of Polywood.

As with any eco friendly decision, it's in your hands. You have to make a choice, are you excited about this PolyWood outdoor furniture and all of its benefits. Or you might leave your better judgement at home & purchase bargain plastic chairs that will take flight in the breeze and crack after 12 months of light use. The choice is very simple to make if you only make minimum wage.
