What is a Good Wood for the Outdoors?

Most of our rocking chairs are suitable for outdoor use. Western red cedar is a fine-grain, dimensionally stable wood that is naturally weather resistant. It will last a lifetime.

Our Alder pieces are painted with a high-gloss, two-coat, water-based enamel and is relatively stable.

A cypress rocking chair is a beautiful, distinctive and durable wood that assures years of trouble-free satisfaction.

Mahogany furniture seasons/weathers well with minimal shrinkage and checking.

It should be pointed out that our EnviroWood line is a bit different than standard woods because it requires no waterproofing, staining or similar maintenance when used in exterior applications.
