Woods for Your Wood Garden Furniture
If you are preparing to buy some garden furniture there is a lot of narrowing down that you need to do. For example, do you want metal, stone, plastic or wood garden furniture? You have probably discovered that wood furniture is not as popular as it used to be. For some time now outdoor garden furniture alternatives are cheaper than traditional wood. Even though it is more expensive, hand-crafted wood furniture is the best you can buy, and it will probably last longer than metal or plastic. Is your answer now wood? You have probably made an excellent choice.
Now that you decided on wood your search has just begun. Telling a craftsman that you want wood furniture is similar to walking into a computer store and telling them you want a computer. There are too many choices of wood to be uncertain about what kind you want. In order to help you, the following items will describe these different woods for your wood garden furniture.
Alder. This wood is a hard wood valued for its durability and strength. It is very beautiful in its natural state, which is a honey color; it also can easily be stained to generate a different look for wood garden furniture.
Brazilian Cherry. Brazilian cherry wood is a popular wood due because of its density and natural weather resistance. This wood is not only used in garden furniture but is used in decking, equipment for the playground and railroad ties. Brazilian cherry furniture is an exellent choice for durability; it should last up to 25 years or more.
Cedar. Cedar is probably one of the best choices for wood garden furniture. One good thing about cedar is its natural resistant to insect damage and it also resists weather and decay damage that seems to attack other types of wood.
Cypress. This is a popular wood for garden furniture as it resists decay and cracking. It has an exclusive yellowish-red color that people find attractive. Cypress wood will retain paint quite well. Even though it is appealing in its natural state, if you want to paint or stain it, it would look just as beautiful.
Mahogany. Mahogany is another type of wood that is beautiful for use in the garden. It will resist splintering and shrinking. Newly built mahogany furniture has a deep, rich red color. After spending time in the elements, this wood will get a bit of a silver hue to it.
Teak. Teak is one of the hardest, strongest and most durable of all woods. It is highly resistant to rotting and is almost impenetrable to the effects of sun, rain, frost, or snow. If left untreated it will have a gracefull silver gray color, if treated with oil it will maintain its golden yellow color.
Now you have a few ideas on the different woods for your wood garden furniture and you can select whichever suits your needs best. Any wood garden furniture can be used on your deck, patio, under your trees, for dining, or just relaxing in your flower garden. The natural beauty of wood garden furniture will enhance the natural spaces in your garden.
