We all hopefully love the sunshine, or even the moonlight for that matter, to sit there outside and have dinner or just a get together. In today's times we have to purchase more planet friendly resin outdoor furniture (if that was possible) and accessories such as servers or trolleys.

So when patio furniture was made in bulk, the fastest way to mass produce this was by making the resin outdoor furniture, it was plastic, it withstood the weathers for quite some time and mainly it was a lot cheaper than any other materials used and extremely lightweight. So what if you had to buy a new chair every year, at least you didn't have to buy the whole set again, and the price didn't seem so much.

The outdoor wood furniture is absolutely stunning these days, and the woods they use are fabulous. They have to be able to naturally tolerate the weather themselves, besides the fact that we still have to treat them too at least once a year for them to last long.

The only problem with outdoor wood furniture is that if we don't treat them properly they will rot very fast in the rainy weather, and replacing them could cost you a big penny. You cannot just go out and get a piece of any wood to repair the damage, as the original was imported wood from around the world, and they don't come cheap at all.

The Dilemma

So with much dilemma, we turned to the outdoor wood furniture as apposed to the resin outdoor furniture, then we have to start saving the planet all over again as the rainforests got depleted way too fast for our liking, and back to the resin it was.

I don't have a problem with resin outdoor furniture; it does tolerate the weather a lot better. There is however a company that either makes or imports a compound that looks like wood, has a lot longer lasting qualities than wood, but is made of a resin. Yes, I too would (excuse the pun) like this kind of wood. They make mainly resin outdoor furniture. They do say that the lifespan of it is about twenty years and it can be planed and sanded and even painted just as wood can, but it never has to be treated.

They are using the resin compound for other places where wood would normally be used such as beams and planks for decks and staircases. The nice thing about this resin outdoor furniture is that we get the look of the outdoor wood furniture while recycling the plastics to look as good as the real thing.
