Oak Patio Furniture

This patio furniture is manufactured from Chinese Oak which has been kiln dried to less than 1% — virtually no warping or cupping. Stained with a light oil for additional weatherproofing from the elements and gives a uniform appearance to the wood. Mortise and tenon joinery using Swedish exterior grade Casco Nobel glue. Solid brass fittings with high quality fasteners gives superior holding strength.

Fully assembled.

Chinese Oak wood is dense finer grained hardwood about 5% harder than Red Oak. The heartwood is light brown and some boards have a lighter pinkish tint to them. Chinese Oak is a more durable material than Red Oak and is ideal for outdoor furniture. The tannic acid in the wood protect it from fungi and insect attack.

    Starfish Garden Stepping StonesCast using special frost-proof durable stone material that will provide years of pleasure in your home, garden, or office setting. A special antique finish brings out the individual personality.

    Nichols Bros. Stoneworks, Ltd is one of the leading manufacturers in the country of Cast Stone Garden and Architectural Ornament decorative stepping stones and garden stepping stones. Rain Shadow Gardens is a proud supplier of Stoneworks and their decorative stepping stones.

    Our decorative garden stepping stones have proven to be a durable, attractive and high quality alternative to other materials (such as terra-cotta, plastic, clay, fiberglass or concrete).

    The nature of our stone has a number of advantages. It has the appearance of carved stone at a fraction of the cost, and it ages much like natural stone-developing a rich patina quite rapidly. Our most recent mix design improvements and curing methods have given our stone greatly increased strength, weather tolerance and resistance to abrasion.
