WESTERN RED CEDAR
A classic American design great for any backyard. This chair is lightweight and conveniently folds for storage. Take this chair on your trips. It also features wide armrests for comfort and relaxation. The Adirondack chair is made of Western Red Cedar which has the highest rating for decay and disease resistance. This type of wood also absorbs and looses moisture slowly minimizing cracking and splinterng. The heartwood ranges from a pinkish to dark chocolate brown when first cut, but weathers to silver gray. Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process. Naturally resistant to fungal attack and insects and free of pitch & resins. Non-toxic and safe for all uses The Adirondack chair comes with zinc coated and/or stainless steel hardware.
Western Red Cedar requires no chemical treatment unless the wood is in direct contact with the ground, in which case a protective sealant will protect against moisture. Cedar is lightweight, dimensionally stable, and naturally resistant to splitting, cupping, and warping. Cedar is easy to handle, and can be cut, shaped, and accepts screws easily. It remains flat and stays straight - cedar warps little to none compared to other woods. Which means Western Red Cedar resists the natural tendency to crack and check, as you might find in many other wood species.
Cedar's natural preservative oil eliminates the need for further chemical treatments, unless the wood is in direct contact with the ground. Western Red Cedar fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay making it excellent furniture material for moist or humid climates. Many folks prefer to allow their cedar furniture to "naturally age" outdoors without any finish at all. Over time the color will weather to a handsome silver-gray highlighted by darker streaks, and the grain of the wood will become slightly raised. Western Red Cedar is superior to White Cedar, and contains much more of the natural acidic tannins that help to preserve western red cedar. This means that Western Red Cedar lasts naturally longer. There are a number of natural organic compounds – including thuja plicins –that give off that distinct cedar aroma that makes the wood highly unattractive to insects, moths and other pests.
