some real color but don't want the furniture to look tacky. I like things to look natural since I live on a river and the landscape is all indigenous to the area. One bench over-looks the river, two others are in a patio area. I also have a picnic table that could use to be re-painted, it's currently a dense red. If I paint, do I need to prime first? Any color suggestions?

There is a perfect paint for your project and it Olympic paint stain. It comes in a ton of colors, shades and stain pigments. You don't need to prime, but should sand any areas that are gray, peeling or loose. I love this stuff and have found it long lasting, durable, weather resistant and fade resistant. It is great out in the sun and everything I've used it on gets hit by the automatic sprinklers almost daily and it doesn't get discolored like other paints or stains I have used. I got it at Lowes.

The official video for quot;The Wooden Chairquot;, from the album quot;Hardships!quot; (Gold Medal Recordings/Playground Music) 2009. Directed ...

I've only just brought this set from Robert Dyas (UK), haven't used it, need a pvc type cover for it. However, will it be too late to take of this hardwood, now its been wet or can i still treat it & cover it when the weather is dry!! Typical british weather!
what i meant to say will it be harder to take care of this type of hardwood now its been soaking wet

Your furniture will be fine, cover it over as soon as possible so it doesn't get any wetter, if you can move it into a garage or shed and let it dry slowly (If it dries too quickly you may get small cracks). Once it has dried out makes sure the wood is clean by rubbing down with wire wool and white spirit, then give it a couple of coats of teak oil. This will bring back its colour and help keep it waterproof in future. You will need to reapply the teak oil every year (Autumn) or twice a year if left out in the winter (Spring and Autumn)...

Business in selling plastic fancy design chairs which can be used in garden as well in the house for guests. Having wooden chair in garden required specials treatment over rain. Where with plastic chair, just cover with plastic cover, or you could use indoor if you have many guests coming. Most of the retailers sell this type but they are not fancy and very expensive as well.
Please advise me if you have any suggestions.
many thanks,

You should try selling a few different designs in a variety of places e.g: internet, local fairs, word of mouth, leaflet distribution, newspaper ads etc. Will you be designing the chair/cover yourself?

Remember people always need extra chairs so don't limit yourself to summer only.
