Wooden chairs vs plastic garden furniture
Wooden outdoor chairs
Wooden garden chairs have upsides and some negatives. Here is a table to show you the pros and cons in an easy-to-read fashion:
Pros | Cons |
Wooden chairs have a natural, classic look that complement garden settings beautifully | Wood can require regular maintenance, such as sealing or varnishing, to prevent weather damage |
High-quality pressure treated with slow-grown wood can withstand outdoor conditions and last for years with proper care | Heavier than plastic, making them less portable, although slatted designs are lighter than regular styles |
Made from renewable materials, they are biodegradable | Generally (but not always) more expensive than plastic options |
Sturdy and can be paired with matching tables and planters for additional comfort | Even with a long guarantee, wood is susceptible to rot, pests, and weather damage if untreated |
Plastic garden furniture
Plastic garden furniture has ups and downsides too, here is a grid about plastic furniture’s pros and cons:
Pros | Cons |
They are typically more budget-friendly compared to other materials like wood or metal | They may become brittle or fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight or extreme cold |
Easy to move and rearrange, making them practical for storage or frequent use for those with strength issues | Often lack the elegance or natural charm of wooden chairs |
Require minimal upkeep, as they are resistant to pests, rust and weather effects | Generally, made from non-renewable materials and are less biodegradable, raising concerns about sustainability |
Can withstand inclement weather without absorbing water or becoming frost-damaged | Lightweight nature can make them prone to tipping over in windy conditions. Although their weight is a bonus in some instances |
Our customers agree that wooden furniture has a little more style than plastic. If you have lots of people over, you may need to supplement your wooden patio chairs with some plastic seating. Just add planters and solar lighting, and you are set for the entire year.
