Angelo's Designer Tips:
“Think about the type of mood you want to create with your outdoor space and seek colors that will coordinate with the natural elements in your area. Be sure to take sunlight into account and imagine what colors will look like on a bright day versus an overcast day. For instance, some Adirondack colors may be distracting when placed on a patio that receives full sun all day long.”

Adirondack Features
Weatherproof
Rain, wind, and sleet shouldn't get in the way of enjoying your outdoor furniture. Unlike wood, POLYWOOD products are innovatively engineered to withstand all four seasons without splintering, rotting, cracking, or chipping.
Low Maintenance
Easy does it. Our patio furniture will always look as good as new with very little effort. It doesn’t need to be brought inside during inclement weather and cleans quickly and easily with soapy water and a soft-bristle brush.
Sustainability
Sustainability has always been our second nature. Our long-lasting furniture is made using plastics that could otherwise pollute oceans and overwhelm landfills—and it can also be recycled when the time comes.
Why are they called Adirondacks?
This iconic design is named after the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, where Thomas Lee invented it in 1903. The original used several flat wooden boards and featured a straight back, deeply slanted seat, and wide armrests.
At POLYWOOD, we’ve designed dozens of new iterations that honor the original but expand the options of silhouettes, sizes, and comfort features to create something for everyone.

Top Adirondack Materials
Adirondack chairs are available in a variety of materials — HDPE lumber, teak, aluminum, and injection-molded plastic, to name a few.
OUR PICK
HDPE Lumber Adirondack Chairs
Our favorite material for Adirondack chairs is HDPE. Adirondack chairs made with this material can be left outside all year-round, clean easily with soap and water, and are available in an array of fade-resistant colors. This durable, weatherproof plastic is also used to make milk jugs and detergent bottles.
Wooden Adirondack Chairs
Teak, pine, oak, cedar, cherry, and other natural woods are popular choices for outdoor furniture. Wooden Adirondack chairs can remain outside all year-round, but they're difficult to maintain and require regular cleaning and oiling to avoid a "silver patina."
Aluminum Adirondack Chairs
Aluminum is a durable, easy-to-maintain material that can be left outside all year-round as it's resistant to water and rust. Aluminum Adirondack chairs are lightweight and easy to move around the patio but also susceptible to wind gusts.
Injection-Molded Plastic Adirondack Chairs
Unfortunately, Adirondacks made from this material fade quickly in the sun, are vulnerable to stains, and are generally unstable — breaking easily within a year or two of purchasing.
