Why We've Broadened Our Timber Range to Include HDPE Adirondack Chairs at The Porch

At The Porch, we take pride in offering premium wood garden furniture that blends time-honoured beauty with resilience. Yet as part of our commitment to giving customers the best options, we've lately presented the Poly Classic Adirondack chair, crafted from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This move demonstrates our dedication to fulfilling diverse needs and supplying materials suitable for different outdoor environments.

Why Choose HDPE for an Adirondack Chair?

The Adirondack chair is an iconic piece of outdoor decor renowned for comfort and classic appeal. Timber models have graced backyards and patios for generations. However, while wood provides natural charm and strength, HDPE brings unprecedented durability and convenience, requiring little upkeep, befitting outdoor living.

The Advantages of HDPE Over Timber

Unequaled Hardiness

HDPE is a robust, resilient material engineered to withstand the elements. Wood endures yet demands regular protection from sun, rain, and fluctuations in temperature to preserve integrity. HDPE, in contrast, remains impervious to these challenges. It will not crack, warp, or rot even after decades of exposure to the elements, making it ideal for those seeking furniture that lasts without perpetual servicing.

Minimal Upkeep

Timber furniture requires periodic treatments like staining or sealing to maintain its appearance and durability. HDPE furniture, on the other hand, demands minimal upkeep—a mere wipe-down keeps it looking fresh as new. Thus, the Poly Classic Adirondack chair offers an excellent choice for those fond of outdoor decor but preferring a carefree lifestyle.

Weather Resistance

Timber, while sturdy, can be weakened by moisture and sunlight after some time. HDPE has superb resistance to these elements, including UV rays, meaning your Adirondack chair will hold its colour and form season after season. No longer worry about your outdoor furniture fading or deteriorating in harsh Australian conditions.

Sustainability

At The Porch, we care about the planet, so we chose HDPE for our Poly Classic Adirondack chairs. HDPE is often produced from recycled materials and is recyclable itself, making it a greener choice compared to other plastics. By providing HDPE furniture, we’re expanding our dedication to sustainability beyond just timber.

A Clever Addition to Your Outdoor Space

While timber remains a beloved choice for outdoor furniture, the debut of the Poly Classic Adirondack chair made from HDPE offers our clients a practical, hardy, and eco-friendly substitute. Whether you're looking to unwind in style, enhance your garden’s aesthetics, or want outdoor furniture that’s simple to care for, our HDPE Adirondack chairs provide the perfect solution.
