Adirondack Chair Orders
Cambia Ash Adirondack Chairs on Backyard Patio
It’s been a backyard sitting, patio kind of days the past few weeks. Aside from a few hot spells, it’s great weather to be hanging out at home. Last year, like many others, we spent A LOT of time at home. We realized we didn’t have much of a usable backyard so we decided to make it a little more fun-oriented and kid friendly. It was basically a forest. We had about 40 trees taken down and had a patio and fire pit installed. We had always wanted Adirondack chairs so I built what I knew to be the sweetest set of Adirondack chair plans I had ever seen. Thank you, Paul Jackman! His build YouTube build video here. I built them, loved them, and wanted to offer the chairs for others. They were a huge hit last year! So this is turning into perhaps a yearly offering. That said, I’m taking Adirondack chair orders until June 30, 2022 (EDIT: Sunday, July 3, 2022). After orders are taken, I will begin the builds and batch them all out. I plan on 2-4 weeks build time and that could be extended if there are lots of orders. I will begin the finishing process in a first-in-first-out system to accommodate earlier orders. Next year, I may have this offering a little bit earlier in the year.
I’m offering two types of wood, Cambia ash and African mahogany in 3 tiered options: chair, chair with foot rest, and chair with foot rest that doubles as a side table. Pricing per chair starts at $300.
About the wood:
Cambia ash. This wood is your typical ash hardwood this is very durable that has been thermally modified. This process changes the color of the wood to a much darker shade resembling walnut and also leaves the wood to be very water resistant and rot resistant—a beautiful recipe for an outdoor wood. This wood comes out looking stunning and not like something you have ever seen before, certainly not as an Adirondack chair!
African mahogany. Speaking of stunning woods, this one is another that is eye-catching. It is deep reddish brown in color and some boards have ribbon-like bands of coloration. This wood is more dense than the Cambia ash. It’s not as weather resistant as the ash but still sufficient to be outdoor furniture.
Epoxy coated screws and black stainless bolts are used and the chairs are sealed with several coats of a marine grade finish to repel the worst mother nature has to throw at it. However, there is nothing I can do to prevent what the test of time will do; Mother Nature always wins. The repetitions of hot, cold, sun, and rain will prevail if left uncovered. I highly recommend covering them up when not in use. I have these covers (Amazon affiliate link) and highly recommend them. This practice will prove to extend the life of these chairs considerably. I left mine out on the patio for the winter months in them. You could definitely store them if you had the space but I will admit they aren’t easily stored. Adirondacks take up more space than your typical chair and they aren’t stackable.
