About Poly Lumber Outdoor Patio Furniture
We craft all our outdoor pieces of poly wood. This material is an excellent choice because it is sustainable, highly durable, easy to clean, and long lasting.
We buy poly lumber from Tangent Sustainable Lumber. They use recycled milk jugs and detergent bottles to create poly wood. This simultaneously reduces plastic waste and avoids chopping down trees. Our Amish woodworkers in Ohio then craft this lumber into stylish outdoor furniture.
Poly wood is ideal for the outdoors because it is not weather resistant, but weather proof. It is completely invulnerable to water damage and the elements. It has UV inhibitors that protect it from sun exposure as well.
This durable lumber only needs cleaning a couple times a year to remove pollen and dirt. A simple bristle brush or cloth with mild soap and water will remove most stains.
Our poly wood pieces will last 15 years or much longer if well taken care of. Read our guide below for some ideas on how to style your small space patio furniture.
Color Options for Outdoor Poly Lumber Furniture
We offer a wide selection of standard and premium poly wood colors. Most pieces are two-toned, so you can choose to have each pieces all the same color or a combination.
If both selections are standard, the price is the lowest. If one color is standard and the other is premium, the price is a bit higher. If both choices are premium, the price is the most expensive.
Our standard color options are: white, sand, light gray, mint green, cedar, cherrywood, patriot blue, turf green, tudor brown, dark gray, and black. Most of these are great neutral color options and some make nice accent colors.
Our premium poly colors are pink, bright red, orange, yellow, lime green, aruba blue, and purple. These options are all bright, eyecatching color choices. Other premium options are our wood grain colors: seashell, birchwood, driftwood gray, coastal gray, antique mahogany, and brazilian walnut.
Whether you prefer neutral, earthy tones or bright, beachy colors, we can help you find your ideal color combination.

3) Bars Make Great Outdoor Furniture for Small Spaces
A bar patio area is an excellent choice for smaller outdoor spaces. Space consuming seating isn't necessary, as bar height is suitable for standing.
We offer outdoor poly wood bars that range from small to large. Our 33 and 55 inch bars are the most suitable for small spaces. Each is 100% sustainable poly wood and highly durable. Every bar has a wide shelf to store whatever you need, whether that's cocktail supplies or card games.
To compliment our bars, we offer poly wood bar stools as well. Each is available with or without a back or a swivel option. You can purchase 24 or 30 inch high bar stools.

Add an exciting touch to your patio with one of our firepit tables. We offer two-toned tables that measure 24 x 50, 44 x 72, and 44 x 44. Glass details surround the actual fire and each table has a simple switch to ignite the fire.
These tables make excellent modern outdoor furniture for small spaces. Keep warm during the winter and roast marshmallows with guests over your own fire table.
Make sure to practice basic fire safety if you purchase one of these tables. Keep flammable items, kids, and pets at a safe distance. Always have water or a fire extinguisher nearby. Never leave the ignited fire table unattended, and remember to turn it off after use.

5) Swings as Outdoor Furniture for a Small Deck
Swings are a great patio option for anyone, especially those with young kids or grandkids. Plus, reading, knitting, or eating a snack is always more fun on a swing.
We offer 4-5 foot polywood swings perfect for small outdoor spaces. Our five foot swings have optional cup holders. These fold out of the middle of the swing, so they don't occupy space when not in use.
Our Sawbuck option is complete with cushioned seats and a cross detail at the arms of the swing. This comfortable option is perfect for taking a nap outdoors on a nice day. This is our only swing that is available as 72 inches wide and is able to seat three people.
