Why Poly Outdoor Furniture from Millers Mini Barns Is the Smart Choice for Your Backyard
Discover the Long-Lasting Benefits of Poly Outdoor Furniture from Millers Mini Barns
Ah, spring. A time to relax and drink in the sights, sounds, and smells of the beautiful outdoors. A time to…refinish your outdoor furniture, again? No thanks.
Wood, metal, and cheap plastic outdoor furniture rot, flake apart, and splinter. Every once in a while, they collapse under you while you’re trying to kick back. Luckily, there’s an increasingly popular alternative.
Completely weatherproof outdoor furniture is finally here. Poly outdoor furniture is much more durable than wood, metal, or plastic and requires almost zero upkeep. It’s also completely customizable and made of recycled materials.
What Is Poly Outdoor Furniture?
Poly furniture is made of poly lumber, which is recycled plastic. Millers Mini Barns uses 95% recycled milk jugs in our poly furniture. Bottles are cleaned, chopped up, melted down, and reformed to have the shape and texture of wood.
Poly lumber is then used to create eco-friendly and sustainable patio furniture. Poly lumber resembles wood at first glance, but has different properties.
The first difference is a result of the manufacturing process. Mixing color pigments into the recycled plastic creates just about any color you can dream up. You can lean into the traditional wood look or go with something bolder. Because the color pigment is a part of the material itself, it won’t chip off or fade like paint or cheap plastic outdoor furniture.
Using poly lumber is the best way to build completely maintenance-free outdoor furniture. It just needs a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust, and it’ll look just like the day you bought it.
Poly vs Other Materials: Choosing the Best Material for Outdoor Furniture
Poly tends to have an edge over other outdoor patio furniture materials. Let’s get into more detail about the difference.
Poly vs Wood Furniture: Wood is the most common and traditional material for outdoor furniture. It can get a beautiful weathered look over time, but it requires a lot of upkeep. Harsh temperatures and moisture can cause wood to splinter and rot over time, and finishes chip away. Keeping wooden outdoor furniture comfortable and attractive requires seasonal refinishing and maintenance, which poly simply doesn’t need.
In addition, wood outdoor furniture can fall victim to pests like carpenter bees and termites. Poly lumber is non-porous, so pests can’t get in.
Poly vs Metal Furniture: Whether lightweight aluminum or heavy wrought iron, metal outdoor furniture can be a beautiful choice. However, similarly to wood, it deteriorates quickly. As metal furniture weathers the outdoors, it tends to rust, and the paint begins to chip off. It can become unappealing to look at, let alone comfortable to sit on.
Poly furniture doesn’t rust, and the color remains intact because it’s part of the material itself.
Poly vs Plastic Furniture: Although both are types of plastic, poly furniture is very different from the flimsy white plastic chairs you think of when you picture outdoor furniture. Poly is much stronger and won’t become brittle and prone to cracking after some time in the sun. Because it’s UV resistant, it also won’t fade nearly as easily as plastic outdoor furniture.
When it comes to outdoor furniture, poly is hands-down the most durable and low-maintenance material. Poly furniture can last decades, while other materials require upkeep after a single season. In addition, poly furniture is easily customizable and a sustainable choice.
