Environmentally Friendly Outdoor Furniture

  Something else to be considered is the planet. People
don’t want to negatively impact the environment any more than necessary. That’s
why they work to reduce the carbon footprint left behind. Choosing the best
outdoor furniture can be a way to handle this.

 A great deal of outdoor furniture is constructed from
plastic or metal. Plastic pollutes the planet with additional carbon footprints
and it can take many decades to bio-degrade. Metal furniture has a lot of
issues. It must be mined, and people are worried that the earth is being robbed
of minerals. However, old metal is recyclable.

 That leaves outdoor furniture made from hardwood.
Using renewable sources is the best way to save the forests because trees are
sustainable. For this reason, garden furniture created from hardwood is not
only more durable, but it’s also most environmentally friendly. If you care for
hardwood garden or patio furniture the way the manufacturer instructs, it will
last for ten years or longer. This is much longer than plastic furniture, which
may need to be replaced every couple of years.

 Acacia hardwood is durable and comfortable. It’s a lot
like teak in that if left untreated, it will turn to a silver grey color. It’s
a good idea to treat all of your hardwood furniture once or twice yearly with a
decent oil to keep up the original warm tones.

 Upright chairs, a couple of tables, and some loungers
are usually the choice for outdoor furniture. As long as they’re strong and
comfortable, it doesn’t matter which ones you choose. Add suitable lighting, an
electric mosquito killer, and a patio heater to make it even more comfortable
when you decide to spend some time in your garden, on your patio or deck. One
upright propane heater will do nicely, and an electric mosquito killer
typically keeps an entire garden free of insects.

 Once you’ve arranged your garden furniture and
accessories, there’s no reason that you shouldn’t enjoy the outdoors as much as
you enjoy the inside of your home.
