Not Your Parents’ Patio Furniture

My sister lives within 20 minutes of dozens of members of our family—and it’s a very social family, it is, too. Their lives are filled with birthdays, graduations, and First Communion parties. If there’s a milestone being reached, the families gather around to celebrate.
When it’s the summertime, the party moves outdoors. (My sister actually has a “party tent man” that she keeps on speed-dial…) A few years ago, she invested in ten round plastic outdoor tables, the kind that have removable legs, and forty stackable molded plastic chairs. If anyone in the family is planning a party, they call to reserve my sister’s furniture for the big day. Everyone knows what to do—they pick it up the day before the party, and return it promptly the following day. It is lightweight and portable.

This economical plastic patio furniture has served the family well, but these tables and chairs are not very attractive or particularly comfortable for continuous use. These days, our lives have started moving outdoors. Our standards are changing, and we want to outfit our patios so they are as inviting as our indoor rooms. With all the options available on the market, you can find plastic patio furniture that will serve you well for many years.

Unlike my sister’s “rental” furniture, you can find plastic patio furniture that is substantial and long-lasting. Beautiful and comfortable patio furniture is now being made from recycled plastic. It’s a high-quality material that will last for many years, and it has the added benefit of keeping plastic out of our landfills.
There’s plastic patio furniture for nearly every purpose. You can find an outdoor dining table that seats eight people, small bistro tables for two, and high-top tables and barstools. You can choose designs that look like a classic picnic table and benches, and round tables that let you add a market umbrella. If you love gliders, or if can’t wait to have a swing on your porch, you can find one in recycled plastic that will make you happy.

Outdoor living rooms have become so popular that you can find the plastic patio furniture version of nearly every piece of furniture you have inside your house. Are you looking for an outdoor sofa, loveseat, lounge chair, ottoman, or sectional? You can find them all in recycled plastic.

The Adirondack chair has translated well to recycled plastic. This traditional outdoor chair comes in classic white and in brilliant bright colors. Add a matching Adirondack ottoman and you’ve got a comfortable lounge chair. The Adirondack design has translated well to bar-height chairs, rockers, glider benches, lifeguard chairs, and even recliners.

Do you want to add a coffee table and end tables? You can find them in the traditional slatted Adirondack style or with a solid top, and with or without shelves, just as you would for tables you use inside your house. Do you want to get a park bench so you can enjoy a peaceful visit in your garden? You can find benches in almost any plastic patio furniture suite.

One of the best parts about investing in the newest recycled plastic patio furniture is the maintenance—there isn’t any! Other than occasionally rinsing off the furniture with a little soap and water, it needs no care. It doesn’t fade, and it never needs to be sanded, stained or painted.
My sister’s “rental” furniture has been a fine investment in the social life for our family. But it’s not meant for long-term use. When it’s time for you make the investment in plastic patio furniture, you are bringing the comfort you enjoy indoors to outdoor living.
