Lawn furniture

[Stevie-Ray]

I've got wicker furniture on the deck and also a swing. Neither was even uncovered this year due to the time spent at the northern property. We bought 2 blue plastic Adirondack chairs for the back deck at the northern retreat and also have a redwood glider. Those chairs are so comfortable I fall asleep in them if resting from any work at all. The front of the house is tree-lined, but there's too damn many spiders for it to be agreeable to me.

I can answer this question without even thinking about it since we just spent time covering it all for winter! My husband made all our outdoor furniture from cedar and redwood. We have a picnic table, a patio table with 4 benches, and six adirondak chairs. Sad to see it all go under cover for the season!

Oh, Honey-----go with the swing----you won't regret it!! I love to work in my yard but being 72 now, I have to take more rests than I used to. Nothing like sitting a spell on the swing with a cup of tea while I get up another head of steam to tackle the next thing.

We too have been looking for patio and yard furniture. There are so many options out there. I have not been able to find anything of great quality at a big box retailer (ie Walmart). It seems the search is never ending. Here is a good site that has some items on clearance if you are still looking, or if anyone else is in the market: Patio Furniture Clearance. According to their website, they ship as well. Hope this helps!

I don't have much yet, but I'll be inheriting a nice picnick table from my father when he moves to arizon in a year or two. I want to get a few adirondak chairs as well.
Otherwise for now its a big old rock near my fire pit for a table and a few of those colapsable chairs

I was looking at a covered free-standing wooden swing built for 3 or 4. It has a bracket you can release allowing the back to lay down and it becomes a free hanging queen size bed. I think it looks great and it's only $148. but my wife is more interested in a retro looking glider. It was only $99. and in my opinion it isn't worth that much. It looks like the old style of glider that grandma had in her yard, but it is made of cheap materials more suitable for indoor apartment furniture. It's gonna rust quick and it's only built for two. Bottom line is, be sure whatever you buy can handle the environment you want to put it in.

Not much actually. We've got a couple of chairs and a small table on the front porch that almost never get used. We also had our deck enlarged considerably several years ago and bought an expensive table w/umbrella, chairs and a chaise lounge and now they hardly get used either. The mosquitoes are so bad here for most of the time that the weather is comfortable for sitting outside that we rarely spend any time in the yard other than to keep it up. You just about have to take a bath in some kind of repelent to keep them off of you. Pest control company has sprayed for them, I have sprayed for them, but to no avail. We have a drainage easement that runs through the subdivision and too much wooded area throughout our neighborhood for them to breed in to be able to manage them in a cost effective manor.
