Wood Furniture Parkland

Wood furniture parkland is garden furniture used on lawns outside of public buildings and in park areas. I use a garden bench on the concrete apron of my driveway just to have someplace comfortable to sit down when in that area of the yard. Wood furniture parkland tables and chairs used outside in gardens should be stylish, comfortable and durable. Good quality garden furniture should be able to be left out all year.

Garden furniture is somewhat different from patio, beach and general lawn furniture and usually consists of garden benches, seats, garden tables and picnic tables. Many restaurants will add a few pieces of garden furniture to the outside of their business for patrons to sit while waiting in line for indoor seating. Buffets style restaurants, hamburger and ice cream stands provide wood furniture parkland it as an option to indoor eating if the weather is nice.

Wood furniture parkland may be constructed entirely of wood or may use a combination or wrought iron and word construction or stone and wood construction. When made entirely of wood, natural cedar is the wood of choice. Cedar is a hard wood that contains abundant natural oil that provides protection from boring insects, fungus, mildew and other form of rot. Red cedar grows on the North American continent and white cedar grows on the Eurasian continent.

A popular style of wood furniture parkland is the wrought iron and wood combination. With this style the frame is made of wrought iron. The seat, backrest and tabletops are constructed of wood. Cedar or teak is normally used to provide long lasting wear and natural resistance to rotting and boring insects. The wooden stats may be almost touching or they may have a couple of inches of space between them. The slates are bolted onto the wrought iron frame. This combination creates a sturdy, dependable, long lasting and comfortable piece of wood furniture parkland.

The store and wood construction of wood furniture parkland is mostly used in public and private parks. Here the base of the table and benches is either stone or concrete. The seats, backrests and tabletops are made of wood. Again teak and cedar are the woods of choice since they resist rotting and do not need to be painted or stained so they require very little maintenance.
