What material is good for outdoor tables and chairs?

Let’s first understand plastic wood, which is a wood-plastic composite material. It can also be simply understood as a raw material that replaces wood with the so-called raw material of plastic, which is made by mixing plastic and wood chips in a ratio of 1:1. . The promotion of wood-plastic composite materials can save a lot of wood use, which is beneficial to the protection of the ecological environment. Because of its natural fiber composition, plastic-wood has good UV resistance and relatively low thermal expansion and contraction properties. At the same time, it also has good corrosion resistance, is not easy to crack and mildew, is a green and environmentally friendly material, and can be used for a long time even in harsh outdoor environments. Compared with logs, the plastic wood material has better stability, is easy to install and saves the trouble of paint coloring, and because the surface has a simulated wood texture and color, it is an eco-friendly material that can be used to replace logs.

There is also anti-corrosion wood. If the outdoor environment is relatively harsh, ordinary wood cannot resist the invasion of wind, sun and mildew, and it is easy to rot over time, while the use of anti-corrosion wood can have a longer service time. . The molding principle of anti-corrosion wood is very simple, that is, in a vacuum state, the anti-corrosion agent is immersed in the wood tissue through high pressure, and is closely combined with the cell fiber tissue, so that the effect of the agent will not be released and disappear. The main preservatives currently used are CCA/ACQ. The main component of CCA is copper, arsenic, and the main component of ACQ is ammonia-soluble alkylamine copper. In addition, because preservative wood still maintains the same appearance, color and texture as ordinary wood, it is widely used in some outdoor gardening environments, because it is not only anti-corrosion, but also has outstanding anti-termite, fungus and other aspects. It can adapt to various outdoor environments and is often welcomed by many families, especially in ground platforms, tables and chairs, pergolas, guardrails, etc.

Then, on the question of what materials are good for outdoor tables and chairs, two kinds of materials with good quality and high cost performance are recommended above. The outdoor environment is different from the indoor environment, and the quality of the materials used often determines the service life and life of the furniture.
