Now that the weather is beginning to get nicer and you can spend more time outside, it is the perfect reason to buy new porch furniture. Whether you sit out by yourself and enjoy the personal time or be with friends and family and enjoy each other’s company, porch furniture is never a bad idea. You can either purchase it already finished in a certain color or you can have it sent to you unfinished and you can have a new, fun project.
Porch Swings: perfect for one person to sit and read a book, drink coffee, or just take in the views or for 2-3 people wanting to just sit together and talk. You can relax on them with a blanket or some pillows and enjoy the wonderful summer weather.
Rocking Chairs: these are perfect for multiple people to sit around in; you can have a conversation all while relaxing. If you prefer some solitude, grab a book or some coffee and just relax as you take in the summer weather. They are perfect for casual conversations and relaxing summer days and nights.
If you like a new project and would prefer to do a finish yourself on your new porch furniture, here are some tips and ideas:
Find the right finish: multiple coats protect the swing and rocking chairs from UV rays and moisture. A primer topped with an oil-based paint can have better results whereas for a more natural look, use multiple coats of exterior spar varnish. Make sure to follow these next steps completely.
