garden furniture-Wooden-or Plastic?

Question

Answer 1

Um... Wood. It'd have to be finished wood (stained or something) because it'd be more resistant to rain (plain wood gets messed up fast when it rains often).

Answer 2

I would go for wood, it's a renewable source and if made from sustained / managed forests then have minimal environmental impact. Plus, when you finally get rid of it they are biudegradeable and so can be recycled instead of sitting in land fill like plastic would. Plus, I just think wood looks much better, natural and compliments the garden well I think. Woolworths usually have a good range at reasonable prices and last time I looked they had a sale. Try their website. Good luck. Oh, buy one of those covers that go over your furniture to save you having to fold your garden furniture away when it rains, also means as soon as rain stops you can use it and it won't be damp.

Answer 3

Wood costs more but looks better and has a bit more class, but plastic lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Your call.

Good quality wood furniture is your best bet! Cedar and Redwood furniture will look great and last for many years.
