Can I leave the chairs out in the snow over winter or should I bring them in?
-Asked by Brian on April 12, 2008.
Yes these chairs can be left out all winter. You may need to powerwash them in the summer to clean off any dirt or grime that has collected. All PolyWood outdoor furniture is built to be tough and durable in all weather conditions.

Shell Back Adirondack Comparisons:
The Seashell Adirondack Chair (SH22) from the “Seashell collection” is the most robust, ergonomically correct, all around comfortable, makes you feel like a king, Adirondack Chair.

The South Beach Adirondack (SBA15) is an exact replica of the Seashell Adirondacks physical dimensions. This chair sits the same way as the “Seashell”. The difference is; it is made with ¾” thick material, weighs in at 40 lbs and by that virtue is lower in cost.

How do we keep algae/mildew from showing up on the white furmiture, is there any kind of treatment you could recommend? We have Trex "reddish"decking which shows signs of algae/mildew and every year needs to be powerwashed, I wonder if this white polylumber will have the same issue and if maybe there is a preventative treatment...
-Asked by Ellen on March 26, 2008.
Poly-Wood is 100% resin and therefore does not absorb water that would support mildew growth. Poly-Wood does not actually contain any wood fiber like the Trex product. It is the wood fiber that absorbs moisture and usually causes the most problems. Power washing or using a cleaner with an anti microbial additive would be the best solution.
Is PolyWood furniture really 100% recycled?
Yes. All of our chairs, tables, benches, lounges, etc... are made from 100% recycled materials. The material is made from recycled milk jugs that are extruded into the plastic lumber used to manufacture PolyWood products.
Do you ship to Canada?
Yes, and shipping to Canada is free! There are no extra fees or costs for Canadian orders.
How hot do the different colors get in direct sunlight?
The black furniture in full sun will get very hot and we recommend using a cushion or beach towel with it. The white and sand furniture do not get hot at all in direct sun. The vibrant colors will get warm but not as hot as the black furniture. We have tested the heat
absorption and black is similar to green. On a 70 degree day we were picking up an additional 30 degrees in direct sunlight for the black furniture.
How much weight can the PolyWood benches and chairs support?
All PolyWood chairs have undergone testing to a maximum load of 250 lbs. Benches, and other mutiple seating PolyWood products support up to 500 lbs.
How durable is the wicker used on the Kennedy Rocker?
-Asked by Ellen on May 1, 2008.
The outdoor wicker is a PE material that is stretched on an aluminum frame and it is guaranteed to last 5 years in a residential application. It is made of the same base material as Poly-Wood. The Poly material in Poly-Wood furniture is also guaranteed to last 5 years in a residential application.
Fact: Much of the Poly-Wood furniture made 20 years ago is still in service today.
