What You Don't Know

What
is the first thought that comes through your mind when you hear “resin
patio furniture” or “plastic patio furniture”? Is the
word cheap or flimsy? You are not alone. But what you may not know is
it is the latest trend and spreading fast.
Today’s manufacturers make resin and plastic patio furniture in
such a way that it closely resembles painted wood. There are some that
make their plastic Adirondack chairs and resin patio furniture out of
Polymer. This material is made of HDPE which is a high density version
of polyethylene plastic. It is a hard, strong, and heavy plastic resin
that has been purified and UV protected. Other manufacturers use EnviroWood
which is a synthetic wood substitute made from 100% recycled plastic bottles
and containers. The plastic is permeated with UV stabilized coloring that
is consistent throughout.
Plastic Adirondack chairs and furniture have been designed for comfort
and are built to last. They are unaffected by sun, rain, snow, even chlorine
and saltwater. There is no need to paint or sand your plastic or resin
patio furniture or apply a treatment seasonally. It does not rot, warp,
crack or splinter. And because the furniture has solid color throughout,
you can leave your plastic Adirondack chairs outside year-round because
they will not fade.
With such life-long features, it is no wonder why people are getting sold
on plastic and resin patio furniture. If you have not heard enough, the
maintenance-free characteristic bears repeating. Outside of caring for
and cleaning your furniture with soap and warm water, you can “sit
back, relax and forget about it” says Poly-Wood, Inc. And if by
chance you get a tough stain requiring additional cleaning power, such
as a bleach/water mixture or a power wash, you can do so without affecting
the color of your furniture.
Most plastic furniture manufacturers, if not all, use stainless steel
hardware in their construction process. The hardware used has a high level
of corrosive resistance that complements the already unique nature of
the furniture allowing you to leave it outside year-round. The solid,
heavy-duty construction keeps all furniture made of recycled plastic or
resin on your deck or in your yard. A plastic Adirondack chair, on average,
weighs between 45 to 50 lbs. Flimsy is definitely not the right adjective
to describe this furniture.
And that is not all. Plastic and resin patio furniture comes in a variety
of colors and styles. The Adirondack style has been a very popular version
for plastic furniture. With plastic Adirondack chairs, benches and swings,
you can find a classic, curved back or shellback style. Along with those
choices you can choose colors such as white, patina, natural, teak, green
and even lively colors such as flamingo, caribbean blue, and banana.
Although you may spend a little more for plastic and resin patio furniture
styles, you will find it is an investment worth considering. Whether you
are looking for furniture to place on a rustic seaside deck or for a formal
garden, you may find exactly what you are looking for in among the wide
selection of plastic Adirondack chairs and furniture.
