The Adirondack Design chair weighs 25 lbs and is easily transported from one part of the garden to another. Redwood's dimensional stability minimizes shrinkage and insures joints that fit. Outstanding weathering ability assures minimum checking, cupping and erosion on exposure to moisture and climate extremes. Because of its natural resistance to wood boring insects and wood rot, redwood has long been a standard for decks, siding, fence posts, and other uses where natural decay may be a problem. All of the furniture sold by Adirondack Design is unfinished.
Redwood can take and hold many finishes.
A lack of pitch or resins in the wood give it superior workability and excellent finish retention. Redwood may be painted, given a protective oil finish, treated with bleaching oil or water repellent, or left natural to weather to a driftwood gray. Finish and care instructions are included with each order.
