www.TeakPatioFurnitureStore.co m A new outdoor furniture shopping opportunity for the savy property owner looking for high quality outdoor ...

I want to build a simple outdoor picnic table and use pine (mostly 2x4) for construction because it is inexpensive. I plan to set it on my backyard lawn, so it will be exposed to moisture and sunlight. Question is, if I stain & protect it, will it last just as long as other higher quality woods like redwood and cedar? Thanks.

The pine, properly stained, sealed, and protected, should last a good long while. Especially important is to guard the footings of the table and/or benches; wherever it comes in contact with the ground, lingering moisture will tend to invade the wood. Likewise, give the table a very slight slant and enough gaps to drain quickly and easily, to avoid any standing water.
However, with equal treatments on various types of wood, pine is still not the equal of redwood or cedar. Cedar, for example, possesses a natural chemical resistance to insects and rot that makes it last considerably longer.
Given how expensive the higher-quality woods are, it might be worthwhile to make a pine table and replace it after a few years, once it starts to decay.

I want to purchase a rattan patio furniture set that is quality but not to expensive and I will be in Bangkok for one week in April can anyone suggest where i get can get some and get it shipped international?

You will probably pay double for the same product by the time you have it shipped; and the shipping might take more than a month. AND there would be no guarantee about damages.

I've bought some fairly good quality furniture here in the past five years, and it is expensive. Shipping fromt he US to here was ridiculous.

Okay I need some ideas and advise here... I live just off a lake and have a beautiful view.. So I wish my yard to compliment it and flow with it. Now I have an Are of land the house itself is facing the lake.. so only the front end has a FULL view of the lake. This house is built a little higher on ground so the houses before me don’t block it…

I would like to make this area a mix of rocks, bricks and grass. There is a huge catch.. Since there are large hills almost mountain size behind me in the spring we get a huge run off of water during the spring (sum pumps going mad) flushing water in the dug outs in front of the property, now I don’t wish to hold water around the house.. What exactly do I need to lay under the stone and brick to allow water to flow into the dug out??? I want to do this right without damaging my house.. The good part is the land slops downwards towards the dug outs.

This house has flooded before because the previous owners did NOT set up the drains and sum pump pipes properly. Also the pipes from the house leading down to the drain area isn’t set right… the pipes sit only 3 inches under ground.. no support under the pipe either to keep it level between winter and summer freeze ups. Should there be rocks under this too? And what other materials are needed to help the flow of water going towards it. This dug out area I will be placing rocks around it for a nice curb appeal. Should I add an underlay to this area as well?

I have watched a number of shows to see how they do it. But I know I’m missing important elements because of the change in weather we have up here in Northern Alberta.

I wish to add seating in this area too… My concern is quality of outdoor furniture. Sure everyone has nice furniture but I need something that can handle good old fashion weather abuse…Water.. Sand..Dust.. Dirt..Sun… Heavy rains and so forth. What brand names are out there that are worth the extra buck that have style/class and quality?? What I am hopping for is heavy duty plastic.
I don’t want to over do it with wood being already lots of trees around here.. I want this to stand out not just blend in. Wood furniture I don’t have concerns about.. A good stain and TLC keeps it looking good. And will implement it accordingly.
Landscaper around here.. That’s Funny…..Would have to get someone from Grande Prairie or Edmonton both are 2 ½ hours away… I live outside of Slave Lake.. Let me give you an idea as to the type of “Hired Help” available out here. Our furnace needs to be repaired… 4 weeks we have been waiting on 3 different furnace companies to come out here and fix it.. NOT ONE PHONE CALL explaining the delays or anything.. Its not even Winter for Christ sakes, nor has the building boom started.. (still isnt fixed and into week 6) We live in a Community of 7000.. Home Hardware and another Home place is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm… Ya if you work full time best to drive hours away to get what you need on a weekend. We are literally living in LAZY ZONE. Oilfield and Logging go 24-7 but get someone out here for an emergency repair or even a simple fix… HAHAHAHAHAHA… Best to do it myself then wait on anyone here.

You should hire a good landscape architect to help you with the proper design for your drainage problem. It could SAVE you thousands of dollars!! Then you or a contractor can do the work! Be sure that you find an architect that specializes in drainage. Most of the major contractors could give you recommendations.

Good Luck!!

I see there is teak, mahogany, cedar and glass etc for outdoor furniture tables, which will last the longest and has the best name for quality?
Am i best to buy from a shop or a online store such as one i found at www.outdoorfurnituretable.com

Teak is still the gold standard for wood outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will insure longevity for what ever wood you choose.

btw - its cypress that grows in swamps, not cedar
