Adirondack Furniture - A Comfortable Design That Has Withstood the Test of Time
by Wendy Moyer
Outdoor wooden Adirondack furniture makes sitting in the yard or on the porch a very comfortable way to while spend a lazy afternoon. Combine the comfort of well made tables and chairs with aesthetic beauty and you can see why this furniture has been popular for over 100 years.
The first Adirondack chair, originally called "The Westport Chair" by Thomas Lee, its designer, is now available in a large variety of materials. However, as far as tradition is concerned, nothing seems to beat the natural beauty of wood. Choices range from pine to teak and just about everything in between.
Because of its abundance, pine Adirondack furniture offers great value. If it's sealed properly you can expect many years of enjoyment and comfort from this relatively inexpensive wood.
Cedar furniture, which is naturally resistant to weathering, rot, and insects, is a bit lighter than other wooden furniture.
Anticipate that your cedar tables and chairs will last at least five years. One of the best cedar finishes is a stain that will tend to make it last longer with only a little bit of care.
You can also paint your cedar furniture to make it more resistible to decay. And the wood itself is durable enough to withstand the weather. The beauty of cedar is that you can leave it outdoors in the harshest of winters and, come spring, it will be ready to enjoy again.
If you live in a high moisture environment choosing Adirondack furniture made from Western Red Cedar would be a very good choice.
Now, if you're looking for longer lasting furniture you might want to consider buying teak. Patio furniture made from teak has a very inviting essence. And it is also naturally weather resistant because it has a very high natural concentration of oil and rubber.
Even if it's untreated, its natural essences make it pretty much impermeable to water. However, because of its natural oils it's generally not recommended that you paint teak. The oils in the wood can actually prevent the paint from properly adhering to the furniture.
In its natural state you and your guests will probably both agree that this rich looking wood is a wonderful addition to your outdoor decor. Although some people might consider it to be a bit pricey, teak Adirondack furniture can last for fifty to seventy-five years. And when you consider how long you will enjoy it, it may not seem that pricey after all.
