    A NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICALLY TREATED WOOD

    Much of today’s outdoor furniture consists of chemically treated materials. These materials hold up outdoors because they are soaked in a toxic stew of chemical preservatives that are strong enough to require warning labels for those who handle it. The three primary ingredients in pressure-treated woods are: copper, arsenic and chromium.

    A controversy exists on the extent of arsenic exposure due to physical contact with CCA wood surfaces. Such surfaces include playground equipment, decks and picnic tables built using CCA treated wood. Studies have shown that virtually no inorganic arsenic is absorbed through the skin, but is readily taken up by ingestion. Thus, the potential exposure is hand to mouth, and therefore, children are considered the most vulnerable to this potential risk. Read more on this here!

    CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES OF USING CEDAR

    Unlike Plastic or Resin furniture Western Red Cedar will not bow or sag over time and you won’t come out to find your new patio set blown across the yard.

    Your Cedar furniture will not become dull sun scorched and faded, but rather will hold its handsome appearance year after year.

    Cedar is an all around safer/healthier choice for patio furniture and outdoor dinning sets than other wood materials that have been treated with preservatives.

    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.
