Cedar Garden Bench
Backyards offer the ideal escape from the daily grind. Thanks to such amenities as water features, outdoor kitchens, gas fire pits and patio bars, you may never want to go away on vacation again. A virtual paradise in your own yard can be that tempting.
Before you go too far, however, you’ll want to do a bit of designing on paper first. You’ll want to consider the space you have available, your own personal tastes in décor and your budget.
If you have enough space, you’ll want to create several areas for entertainment groupings. For instance, you may want to locate your primary space near the house for cooking and then add a more informal space in another part of the yard. There, you can add a fire pit with additional rustic furniture and seating for lively conversations on a warm summer’s eve.
Of course, your furniture selection plays an important role in setting the tone for your outdoor spaces. While a cohesive look is important, you’ll also want to invest in furniture that will last and continue to look great for years to come.
Outdoor furniture made of Northern White Cedar or Red Cedar are ideal for entertaining. While pine furniture will last just 5 to 7 years, cedar tables and benches will last 50 to 60 years with very little care and maintenance. Even the best-made metal furnishings can’t make that claim.
There are plenty of choices in outdoor cedar tables and benches too. You can choose cedar stump tables, cedar outdoor picnic tables, cedar garden benches and cedar gliders. Cedar benches are great for the area around a fire pit or the patio; any place where flexible seating may be required.
While traditional picnic tables are still a staple of backyard décor, you’ll find there’s more choice than ever before. Not only can you choose a stylish rustic log bistro table with matching chairs, for example, but you can get it in Adirondack, Appalachian, Mission or a variety of other styles.
One thing’s for certain. The fine craftsmanship, classic designs and superior materials make cedar a perfect choice for all your outdoor living spaces.
