What Is The Difference Between a Vinyl Outdoor Rocking Chair and a Plastic One?
By Mike Jerry
Outdoor chairs need to be durable
Although a vinyl outdoor rocking chair is going to be just as easy to wash off
as plastic rocking chair, they are not the same in quality. A vinyl glider or
rocker will not last nearly as long as a plastic chair; especially the new
recycled plastic chairs. A glider or rocker made out of recycled plastic will
usually last several years.
The new recycled plastic outdoor rocking chair is the best choice if you want to
purchase a product that will last for several years and will also contribute to
the environment. Outdoor furniture is usually left exposed to the elements all
year long. For this reason, it is vital that you invest in an outside chair that
can stand up to the harsh weather of your location.
Many people are only worried about how a new glider or rocking chair looks. They
spend most of their time trying to find the chair that looks perfect and very
little time comparing the materials that the chairs are made out of. Yes,
sitting in your rocking chair is important and so is gliding in your glider, but
not as important as the quality of the material the chairs are made of.
You could buy the most gorgeous rocking chair and then find out that it really
isn't very durable because it was ruined after one winter season. It is just not
worth it to buy a piece of furniture that is only going to last you one year.
Since you already going to the trouble of purchasing a new outdoor rocking chair
why not spend the time to find your favorite chair made with a durable material?
If you are having a difficult time trying to determine which type of material
you would like to buy your
rocking chair in, here is a list and some defining factors:
* Wicker - Sometimes called Resin Wicker, it is the traditional wicker
furniture. Very durable and can be exposed to various weather elements without
incident.
* Unfinished Wood- Usually the most economical type of outdoor chair. But
unfinished wood needs to be prepared with a sealant every year. Other finish
options are to paint or stain the wood. If the chair is not properly finished it
will turn gray and loose it's original look.
* Painted Wood - Whether you buy the chair pre-painted or paint it yourself,
painted wood is durable and whether resistant. Overtime the paint may chip or
peel if the chair is overly exposed to moisture or other harsh treatment.
* Mixture - It is possible to find a chair that has several different elements
mixed together. Iron is popular to mix with wood. When you mix these two
materials the chair is usually very expensive and also has twice as many
problems including rust, decay, cracking, and possible insect damage.
* Recycled Plastic - Known for being the most durable of materials because it
does not absorb moisture. Since the moisture just repels off of the chair your
chair will not be susceptible to rotting, decay, cracking, or other problems
that often plague wood chairs.
