I'm shopping for patio furniture...something to relax on that will hold up for at least a few seasons. Hopefully I can get as much mileage out of it as possible. Any really good recommendations or bad experiences? Thanks in advance!

I prefer plastic and that's what I got. I didn't want wood because I don't think it lasts long enough and when it's dried out I don't want any splinters you know where. The metal glass top tables are nice but metal rusts and glass breaks. I think the price for patio furniture is absolutely insane! And the quality of it is really not so great. Plastic is easy to move, comfortable, more inexpensive, and if something were to happen to it it's not such a big deal because it was less in the first place. It is easy to replace a chair or even the table itself without financial commitment. It's also easier to buy extra chairs that match because they are not part of a pre packaged set. I think you would get longer use from the plastic but if you didn't, you could buy it new many times over to equal the cost of some of that other stuff. I bought plastic because I was just too cheap to pay the ridiculous prices for outdoor furniture and I'm not at all sorry with my decision. It holds up great!!!I hope this was helpful!!!

Size: 9' tall and Diameter is nearly 9'
Umbrella has 8 sections. Weight: 12 pounds.

Not a huge bottle, one of those spray gun type ones that are normally used to kill weeds on the patio. Conifer size, lets say 1 - 2ft
I can't dig it out! It has to be killed

RoundUp WeedKiller wound nuke anything in the flora life.
I assume you wish to kill that pesky tree your mother-in-law planted. ;)

HELP - Came back from shopping and my son had sprayed his bike with a can of spray paint and most of my stone coloured flagged patio is now bright green with silver bits where he sprayed the spokes on the wheels. It is not coming off with brushing and soapy water as it seems to be that kind of strong smelling paint. Can anyone help me with ideas on how to get it off ? It looks terrible and is right outside our patio doors.

For an oil based paint (dried), use lacquer thinner.
For an acrylic latex (dried) , use denatured alcohol.

I have been shopping around for good patio furnitures and have seen some floor models in stores.

I live in Ohio where there are several seasons.

What I would like to know is how durable are these patio furnitures. Will it last long to just leave it outside all year long in Snow, Sun etc., Do their color fade out because of sun etc.,

If there is any one who could recommend some good but reasonably priced brands, I would appreciate it

Thanks
Bob

When deciding on what kind of material your garden furniture should be made of, choose one that will best suit your needs. Consider not only its aesthetic value but its ability to stand through time as well.

Wood garden furniture is a sturdy piece but you have to check it regularly for cracks or splints. If there is any, you can go to the nearest shop and have it repaired easily. Otherwise, the cracks or splints can cut whoever is sitting on it and your furniture will rot and become futile.

Garden furniture made of hard plastic requires very minimal maintenance because it cannot be affected by weather changes. It is water-resistant and therefore cannot be damaged by the usual rain.
