You may consider resin outdoor furniture to be of the cheap
and flimsy kind but there is a new trend emerging.
Manufacturers are now starting to make resin furniture to
resemble wood so it's a good choice for your outdoor bar sets
and can still look attractive.
One form of resin outdoor furniture is Envirowood. This is a
synthetic wood that is made completely from recycled PET
bottles and containers. Envirowood is permeated with UV
resistant resin that makes it perfect for sunny outdoor
areas.
The technical term for Envirowood is HDPE which stands for
High Density Polyethylene and should not be confused with
normal resin furniture which becomes fragile and brittle over
time with exposure to outdoor environments.
The nature of this manufacturing process
enables resin outdoor furniture to be unaffected by
chlorine (perfect for outdoor bar sets by the pool side),
snow, rain, sun, hail and sleet. It's dense and heavy so
it won't get blown around by the wind.
Cleaning is a breeze with plain old soap and water being all
you need. You can enjoy nice clean furniture all year round
with very little maintenance. If you do happen to get a stain
you can use bleach and water to remove it without affecting the
color of your furniture.
Resin outdoor furniture is also capable of withstanding
extreme temperature conditions. With many years of use and the
occasional clean your outdoor resin furniture will still look
like new.
Wooden furniture is nice and looks natural but with
depleting natural rainforests it's not exaclty environmentally
friendly to manufacture furniture out of this precious
commodity. Resin outdoor furniture is a sensible compromise
because it is now mostly manufactured from recyclable
materials.
It won't splinter, crack or warp and does not require
regular maintenance or painting which saves you time
and money.
