Outdoor rockers on the deck or on the garden remind of summers and springs spent with family and friends just enjoying the sunny weather, sharing stories and just savoring being alive. The simple sway of the outdoor rocker chair seems to transport individuals to a different world.Merits of WoodNowadays, many homes opt for garden and lawn sets made from plastic or metal materials as it appears to be the latest trend in home design. There are merits to these garden sets, of course, but the costs often outweigh the benefits so much so that many homeowners will still revert to the wooden garden sets.First, plastic and metal furniture continually exposed to the natural elements of sun, wind and rain will degrade into trash in just a few years' time. Homeowners are then contributing to the mountains of toxin trash in the planet.In contrast, an outdoor rocker chair will last for many years to come such that the next generations will be able to enjoy its benefits. Just coat the outdoor rockers with wood sealant and natural varnish to make it weatherproof and, hence, last for generations. It is also possible to recycle these pieces of outdoor wooden furniture, thus, sparing Mother Earth more trash.Second, plastic and metal outdoor furniture cannot maintain its beauty after years of exposure to the elements and human use. The colors will fade, the parts will warp and the paint will chip in places for outdoor plastic furniture while metal furniture will rust.Now contrast this with a weatherproof outdoor rocker chair that can get better as time passes by. The wood furniture retains its shape simply because certain types of wood like white cedar are known to be durable. If the colors fade, it is a simple matter of re-applying wood varnish and the rocker will look as good as new.The neighbors will be striving to keep up with the standards set by the weatherproof outdoor wooden rockers of the homeowner
