The main enemy of wooden objects that live outdoors is humidity. With humidity, molds and wood parasites develop. There are wood essences that resist weather conditions very well without needing protection, except for aesthetic purposes. A good protection from weather conditions, sun, rain, ice can be provided by a good varnish. Our Adirondack chairs are treated with environmentally friendly products that provide our chair with both excellent aesthetic protection and protection from weather conditions.
For this reason, we were able to immerse our Adirondack chair in the pool to observe the result. We can say we were satisfied. The Paulownia wood with which we built this Adirondack model Provence did not absorb water, and the aesthetic part remained unchanged. The lack of visible screws horizontally on the seat, which prevents water stagnation, and the stainless steel screws allow the wood to undergo no alteration.
