Recycled Plastic Furniture

macadam

Anyone have an opinion on Recycled plastic as patio/garden furniture, Im thinking its the best choice as it wont need covering or sanding and sealing like my previous wooden set which served me well but the maintenance was crazy considering the the amount of times it was used over the years.
Thinking something like this..http://www.recycledplastic.ie/site_uploads/photos/2000/large_/large_6_sided_picnic_table_afe64d1c.jpg

That's a bit steep!

Maybe it might be worth it if the longevity is as good as they say.

Are they easy to clean?

It should last a lifetime and no maintenance whatsoever,I have looked at the Rattan range and it cost more and very flimsy..

Hi, seen these products at an energy & environmental show in February and they look fabulous and the company seems very genuine and explained everything about there products.
Along with being recycled, they are very firm and comfortable to sit on.
Waiting to build myself and will invest in the unit you posted!
Like everything you get what you pay for, so look at it as an investment and as a previous post mentioned a quick power wash and they should be as good as new, the colour is all the way through so it won't fade!
Post a pic if you get it as will be interested on your experience.
Best of look!!!!!!

Looked at some last year, they're very solid. Only down side was poor design, just square lengths with quite sharp edges, lacking curves which leaves it uncomfortable to sit on. Perhaps there are better designs somewhere out there, but WHERE.

No sharp edges on mine everyone actually thinks it timber, Im delighted with it was a little bit expensive but will definitely last for ever.

Why do people want things to last forever?

What about the change? What about the difference?

Where did you purchase it MACADAM. Ones I saw were near Castlebar. Would like to source some

Murrays in Castlebar, @Seamus, its patio furniture, with the climate we have we might get to use it for 2 weeks during any given year, its what i wanted and needed so I dont mind if it last me a 25/30 years it will serve me rightly..

Thanks for that, I'll have a look at them
