As a responsible member of the human race every little bit we can do to "save the planet" is a bit more than we did before. Today, everyone knows that there are environmentally friendly steps we can take each day to lessen the burden on our beautiful Mother Earth.

There is a company called Poly-wood Inc. that back in 1990 took the next step by creating a material called poly-wood and using it to make outdoor patio furniture. If you like resin furniture because it is easy to maintain and you don't have to worry if it gets caught in a rain shower, you will love this product! Not only is it basically maintenance free, it is much more durable than your everyday resin and it weighs more, so it won't blow around in a storm. This furniture can be left outdoors, exposed to the elements such as sun, rain, snow and saltwater, all year long without any worries that it will fade, warp or crack. This furniture is as indestructible as outdoor furniture can get.

Environmentally Friendly

When we think of saving the planet it usually doesn't take our thoughts to outdoor furniture. But, if you are looking for furnishings for your backyard and can buy a product that is made out of recycled materials, I just think "All the better". For me the greatest thing about this furniture is that it is made by using recycled plastic milk containers that would otherwise be destined for landfills. This all started in a garage in Northern Indiana where two friends noticed the great potential of plastic for use in creating patio furniture. They decided to create simple yet beautiful Adirondack and Nautical inspired patio furniture with this product that they call poly-wood.

Easy to Clean

If your poly-wood furniture gets a bit grimy you can just mix some soap and warm water and easily wash it off. If you have a tough stain, a 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water solution can be used without affecting the color. That is it, there is no need to sand, strip, re-stain or repaint this furniture.

Stylish and Beautiful

With over nine different collections including the traditional Adirondack design, you will really be impressed with the stylish creations that Poly-wood Inc. has to offer. They have everything from bar height chairs to cozy oversized club chairs and chaise lounges.

So, if you are in the market for resin patio furniture, make sure and take a look at Polywoodinc.com. You can find their products on PatioShoppers.com, alldeckedoutsd.com and porchswingsandmore.com. I just wanted to pass this along because I was not only impressed with the aesthetics of this furniture but also the innovative and responsible way it is constructed.

Wow! This patio furniture sounds great, the last set of outdoor chairs I had fell apart after 2 years. And who can afford to replace their patio furniture that often.

So, thanks for the info

I would like to start building the poly furniture as a busniss in southeast Iowa. How do I go about getting supplies and patterns for the furniture, I'm a retired shop teacher and think this would make a great business to get into. Any help?
