Adirondack Chairs by pat.
Made of moisture resistant White Cedar. It's the most comfortable outdoor chair that you'll ever own.
Using only tree farm cedar this chair is also a green thing. That means those big old boys out there won't end up in your backyard. And that is a good thing.
I'm the manufacturer of these chairs. No middle man markups. You're talking with the guy that will not ship anything he would use himself.
Each chair is numbered and each chair carries with it a three year warranty. Why three years? I could easily make this a life time warranty. That's how confident I am in my workmanship.
This chair is the end result of 15 years of building them, making improvements and truly understanding what happens to outdoor furniture over the years.. Only now do I feel confident enough to offer it to you.
And yes I'm a little bit slow and miss some of the deadlines I set for myself because I want your chair to be perfect. In my mind it's the only thing that's acceptable.
Look for more outdoor furniture from Cedar River Mills soon.
And folks I'm no marketing guru. This is just me making the best chair you'll ever own and you're buying it at manufacturing cost. Made in Minnesota, the place with all the lakes.

Northern White Cedar - An American Wood.
Northern white-cedar, the lightest of
any commercial wood in the United
States, grows primarily in the Lake
States and Maine. It grows in both
pure and mixed stands, mostly in
swamps but also on uplands. The
heartwood is resistant to decay and
subterranean termites, is easy to
work, glues well, holds paint well,
and has little dimensional change.. Recent uses have been principally
for rustic fencing and posts.
Other uses include cabin logs,
lumber, poles, shingles, and several
specialty products like Adirondack chairs.
What makes this chair different.
The Wood.
I use a one inch thick white cedar.
The only chair I've ever made in 3/4 inch pine was a protype that only lasted three years. First thing to go were the legs.
The chair on the right is 14 years old. No stain no special treatment.
Cedar is so much better than the usual pine chair you see. It's light-weigh, strong and most of all it withstands moisture. White Cedar is a swamp wood, pine is not.
The chair still only weighs 20 lbs but the additional 1/4 inch thickness greatly improves the durability of this chair.
Nail vs. Screws
Have you ever had a piece of outdoor furniture that rocked from side to side? I have and I didn't like it. I fixed that, it was really simple
That's the difference between spending a little more time and money on the connections.
A total of 42 coated screws are used in your chair. But you'll never see them. And mind you on the critical joints I use stainless steel bolts reinforced with an outdoor marine adhesive..
