REUPHOLSTERY

By Jonathan R Richards

If you are planning to redesign your patio deck in the near future, you are probably also trying to locate something that is new and different in the way of patio deck furniture. On the other hand, maybe you are just searching for something that will be comfortable and long lasting. However, instead of cutting down another one of our valuable hardwood trees just to manufacture a few lounge chairs, why not do a little investigating into the newer aluminum vinyl strapping kind of furniture? No, I am not talking about the old time folding chairs that use to collapse if you sat on them a little too hard. The quality of most aluminum furniture sets has improved a lot since those days.

Most of them have heavy weight frames that have been blasted with sand in order to prepare them to fully accept the powder coating that will give them a tougher and more durable finish than any ordinary liquid variety of paint would be able to do. The sandblasting technique creates tiny pores that actually allow the powder paint to almost become part of the aluminum frame. The usual problems that occur when painting with any kind of "wet" material, like running, dripping and streaking, are never a problem when it is being done with the new powder paint.

Aluminum strapping patio deck furniture is available in a multitude of color combinations. They are either double wrapped in vinyl straps, feature some type of basket weaving technique or have a "sling" covering. These lounge chairs offer maximum comfort; sometimes being offered with head and arm rests. The frames are welded for safety reasons. Other items that are also available include bar stools, tables and individual chairs. All of them will make the redesigning of your patio deck much easier. You will end up with an outdoor dining area that is perfect for gathering the entire family together for a summertime feast.

However, if these items are going to be used around swimming pools, some care is required. The constant extreme heat of the solar rays can cause suntan lotions and body oils to eventually stain and discolor the strapping. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is always advisable to spread a large towel over the webbing before reclining on it. Outdoor furniture should be cleaned every month or so with a very mild dish detergent. It is recommended that a thin film of a good quality car wax be applied to the aluminum frames. By all means, do not let anyone throw any of your aluminum furniture into the pool water. The chlorine can be very damaging to the aluminum and the webbing.
