This is an exerpt from our old site. This post contains information about the construction of wood patio furniture that we sold. You can use this information to see how other patio furniture is made that you are considering.
All of our
cedar patio furniture is fastened using screws, carriage bolts, tonque and grove or mortise and tenon joints for strength and durability. Our furniture will outlast all commercial, mass produced patio furniture that is simply stapled and glued. The joints are not nearly as strong and will break over time.
We also use zinc plated, stainless steel or treated hardware that will not rust and last the life of the furniture.
All of our furniture has a light oil based finish that shows the beauty of our wood. Please see our
care of prodcuts page for more details on finishing and maintaining your furniture.
All of our wood that we use is either air dried or kiln dried to prevent warpage and other deformations of the wood due to moisture.
We only use cedar that is grown on plantations and tree farms. This strategy will ensure that there is enough cedar for future generations. It is important that we preserve our forrest from over harvesting by only using renewable plantation grown trees.
