Things to Consider When Buying Rustic Patio Furniture

Nothing blends in quite so well with a "back to nature" setting as rustic log patio furniture. Pine and cedar furniture designed for your log cabin, lakeside villa or mountain chalet will not only look great, but be extremely functional as well.

Rustic log furniture is one of the hottest trends in home decorating, and it's not likely that's going to change any time soon. While pine and cedar are two of the primary woods used to manufacture rustic log patio furniture, other types of wood such as teak may also be used. If left unfinished, your rustic patio furniture will age to a barnwood-style gray when left out doors. If you wish to preserve the natural color of the wood, you may finish the furniture with waterproof finish. Many manufacturers also offer a variety of outdoor paint colors as well.

Rustic Patio Options for Every Deck

A white cedar or pine rocker is a great starting point for the great out-of-doors. And there are a myriad of other seating options to choose from. Double rockers, high-back rockers, gliders, tete-a-tete's, porch swings and yard swings are just a few of the available seating ideas for your deck, patio or garden. Some rustic chairs come with cushions, others may look good with an ottoman to prop your feet up on.

There are also a number of rustic picnic table options, not to mention log style benches which are especially handy around a roaring fire or when seating a number of guests. The bottom line is, that just about any type of wood furniture you can think of in a non-rustic style, is also available in rustic. If you want a rustic piece that you haven't found readily available online, most log furniture manufacturers are great at working out custom orders.

The only problem I have ever really had in trying to get custom furniture from the Amish was explaining why we wanted to put a television in the "wardrobe", turning it into an entertainment center. For some reason, my customer's desire to fit a TV into an armoire wasn't the Amish could readily related to--although they were still more than happy to oblige by modifying their design to meet our specifications.

A Natural Fit to the Great Outdoors

Rustic wood furniture is just a natural fit to an outdoor environment. It seems so much more relaxing than patio furniture made from plastic, composite or other materials. Many log furniture manufacturers use treetops of logs cut for log cabins, so even if you feel like "saving a tree" you are enhancing--rather than hurting--the environment by furnishing your patio, deck, or gazebo with rustic outdoor furniture.

Description

I took my son out for our first camping trip and I could see an immediate difference in how he responded to my instruction as well as the pressures surrounding him. Soon, I invited some of his friends along for another camping trip. On the next trip, some of the other dads joined us. As our success with camping for boys grew, I started to feel guilty. I knew there were a lot more people out there who not only wanted, but needed, the same solutions I had found. Somehow, it just didn’t seem right to keep it to myself.After all, it’s not like I wrote the book. I was just lucky enough to come across it one day. Why not repackage Camping for Boys? You see, this amazing book had first been published several years ago. And while it was incredibly successful at the time, it eventually faded out the limelight. I was convinced that if it could be repackaged into a more usable and modern format, that it could bring the same benefits I now enjoyed to many other people. So, I brushed off the cover and got to work.

Description

Campers, anglers, hunters, and nature lovers--the woodland hideaway you've dreamed of is in these pages. From an elegant water gazebo to a traditional tipi, all can be found in RUSTIC RETREATS. The authors, who are experienced designers and builders, offer illustrated, step-by-step instructions for more than 20 low-cost, sturdy, beautiful outdoor structures.

This is a delightful book that promises to deliver loads of fantasy and fun for anyone in need of a rustic place to rest, relax, and retreat from the speed and stress of modern living. The Stiles provide more than 20 step-by-step plans for low-cost outdoor buildings, among them a grape arbor, a hillside hut, a water gazebo (floating!), a log cabin, tree houses, a wigwam, a garden pavilion, a yurt, and a river raft. A bit of individual creativity can make any of the plans described and diagrammed into unique personal statements or fantasies. Many of the plans are so simple they can be built in a few hours or in less than a day, and most do not require high levels of carpentry or building skills (though all will be useful as "learning projects" for the uninitiated). If you built forts as a kid--or wanted to--here's your chance to play at it again as an adult! --Mark A. Hetts
