Summer is so fleeting in some parts of the country that you want to take advantage of every day when the temperature soars and it doesn't pour. Unfortunately, it often takes half the summer just to get your backyard retreat, patio or deck back into shape. There's furniture to clean, wood to treat, leaves to spray away and new plants to plant. By the time you're through, your aching back is ready for a break. And that's when Adirondack Chairs really shine.
First, they are one of the great treats for a weary back. The design of Adirondack Chairs allows your posterior to slip all the way back into the seat, providing support to your spine and back muscles. Since the back of the chair rises up above your shoulders, your entire back is supported. Try that in an ordinary lawn chair.
Of course, your tired arms need support too. As anyone who has purchased Adirondack Chairs before knows, the wide arms provide your arms with the perfect support as well. The result: a relaxing place to watch the world pass by that any chiropractor would curse.
While it's tough to get a doctor to prescribe Adirondack Chairs for your home, you can take comfort in the fact that your body will feel much better sitting in Adirondack Chairs than those cheap resin chairs sold in discount houses. That's not to say these aren't nice for the occasional soiree in your backyard. But they're hardly the type of solid support most people with back problems need.
Another benefit of Adirondack Chairs. They require less maintenance. With Adirondack Chairs on your patio, deck or garden retreat, you don't have to waste valuable sun time cleaning the chairs every season. When you first purchase your chairs, simply coat them with an all weather stain, or paint them, and you're done. A quick cleaning at the beginning of the season and they should be good to go.
During the off season, you can leave Adirondack Chairs out in the elements. Chairs made of Northern White Cedar and Red Cedar will weather naturally, turning a silver and grayish silver respectively as the years pass by. Teak, on the other hand, will never crack or fade. It is an extremely durable wood that can take whatever Mother Nature can throw at it. Just be sure your oil them with a good teak oil on occasion and you're set for life. A helpful hint: Purchase the teak oil from a marine supply store. It's made specifically to seal teak from rain, wind, snow and sleet. If it works on the teak use in a boat you can bet it will work well on the teak on your Adirondack Chairs.
While you're shopping for Adirondack Chairs, you may want to consider some important accessories as well - an ottoman for your tired feet and a matching table to put your tall glass of iced drink. After all, you need to be comfortable now that you won't spend half the summer getting ready for the warm weather.
