When you picture fun, relaxed outdoor gatherings with family and friends, what do you see in terms of furniture? You probably see an outdoor grill, tables decorated with festive, summer themes, possibly a pool, and comfortable seating for guests.
Take a closer look at the seating, and tell me what you see.
Let me guess - you see a straight back and seat, with wide armrests perfect for setting food on, and a beautiful, classic wooden look.
That would be an Adirondack chair, and the first reason to choose plastic Adirondack chairs for your patio - because they are classic, quintessential outdoor chairs that never go out of style.
Reason number two for choosing plastic Adirondack chairs is that plastic lumber, (or engineered wood/recycled plastic as it is also called), lasts longer than wooden chairs and requires less maintenance.
Engineered wood resists bugs, mold, mildew and sun fading, and do not require staining or waterproofing like wooden chairs require.
Because they are plastic they do not fade and warp like wood, and an added bonus is that plastic lumber is easy to clean.
Reason number three for choosing Adirondack chairs made out of plastic lumber, rather than made out of wood, is because they are less expensive.
Yep, you heard right, less expensive! Because wooden Adirondack chairs must be hand crafted, they cost more, whereas plastic ones can be manufactured by machinery, and are therefor less expensive.
But not any less comfortable, so don't worry on that note! Plus, tons of variations on the classic Adirondack have been created, including rockers and porch swings.
So this summer, as you are outfitting your patio with the right furniture for relaxed, laid back gatherings, go with plastic Adirondack chair sets for your guests.
They'll be easier to clean, cheaper to shop for, and look just as good as the originals designed way back in 1903 - by a man who was, in fact, trying to create the perfect chair for his summer home in the Adirondack mountains! His design is still perfect for the outdoors, and is now even better thanks to a marriage of classic design and modern, engineered wood.
