While keeping plastic milk jugs and other recycled plastics out of landfills is a good thing, having them turned into outdoor furniture and other items is providing a material beneficial to outdoor living. With polywood outdoor furniture material being used on not only furniture, but also on fences and even patio decks, its use keeps expanding.
Basically, the concept of extruding polywood from the pellets of recycled plastics grew to include colors impeded in the materials so that it will never require repainting. It has also found that since its beginning in 1990, polywood outdoor furniture does not fade in the sun nor is it affected by the elements. Being left outside near salt water or in the sun, rain or snow leaves no obvious wear and since it is heavier than regular plastic furniture it is not subject to being blown away by wind.
Tables and chairs as well as garden furnishings are available in polywood, with colors bright enough to make a fun statement on the beach or in subdued wood colors to appeal to the more conservative outdoor living area, polywood outdoor furniture is designed to outlast other materials left exposed to the elements.
