Question

give 5 reason for your choice.

Answer 1

Teak
I saw it

I bought it
I own it
I love it

Answer 2

you have only two good choices. Teak and Redwood. It depends on your skills in making a chair as to which one you would use. For a novice Redwood, like teak it will not rot, it is easy to work with, and is cheap. If you are an expert you would use teak. It also doesn't rot, it retains its appearance, it is very hard (teak boats in China in the late 1800's were considered to be as hard as an iron ships of the day because they were made of teak), it will stay smooth when sanded, it looks better than redwood.

BUT, if you don't know what your doing or are have the tools avoid teak. Its a very very very hard wood and unless you know what your doing its a monster to work with.... then again if your buying something already made, just buy the teak and enjoy it.

Answer 4

Pine
Cedar
Oak
Redwood
Here I have given you four samples and for a good reason.
Pine is good for making Adirondack chairs, It inexpensive and sturdy, Hold paint well.

Cedar is god for making Garden Benches and Rustic Patio furniture, It's a beautiful wood and weathers well outside.

Oak is great for building Distinct Patio Sets for Formal outside areas, the natural wood grains very and the unique character of the wood give a great finish, and it tough!

Redwood is good for Yard Furniture, it has a wonderful color, hold up well in the light and rain, is a Excellent choice for woodsy look or Rustic.
Although Pine is used in the building of allot of outside chairs and table it's used because it price. But the other woods chosen are used if your looking for that one of a kind, Home & Decor that your neighbor envy and unique because it used to build fancy or expensive looking chairs and tables.
And it durability in the weather.
I trust that you would be happy with any of these choices, now you just have to decide what kind to build!
Good Luck!

Answer 5

There are three types of lumber I'd use for outdoor furniture.

Cedar is a popular choice because it withstands, and actually thrives in a moist environment. it is easily stained or painted. It maintains its structural intergrity longer than pine or spruce.

White oak is great for deck furniture. It is stonger than cedar, easily stained or painted, easily refinished, because it's a very hard wood, Because of the grain structure, it withstands harsh winds and heavy loads....er....from snow!!!!

Teak is an excellant lumber to use! It is stronger than cedar, it is easily finished, and accepts stains very well, it withstands weathering and moisture very well.


Cost wise, Cedar is the cheapest, then white oak, then Teak.
