Wood Options for Your Outdoor Furniture
Wood Options for Your Outdoor Furniture
Wood is arguably the most popular material used in the construction
of outdoor furniture. There are many wooden furniture options available today that
may be used as garden furniture, patio furniture or balcony furniture.
Furniture items include wooden tables, patio lounge chairs, outdoor benches and
outdoor tables. These items may be constructed from hardwoods, softwoods and
composites.
Hardwoods
Hardwoods are considered the highest quality woods, which makes them
the most expensive of all wood types for outdoor furniture in Sydney. The five
most commonly used hardwoods for timber furniture construction are teak, oak,
mahogany, cherry, maple and walnut. The natural colors of these woods vary from
dark to light, which makes them ideal for outdoor furniture in Melbourne. The
advantage of hardwood for outdoor furniture in Brisbane is that it does not
bend or warp easily, unlike the softwoods. This is why it is a popular choice
for outdoor furniture at the Sunshine Coast and for other furniture types in
most homes. Hardwoods for outdoor settings such as teak furniture may either be
stained or painted for finishing.
Softwoods
While cheap outdoor furniture from softwood is generally less
expensive than the hardwood pieces, they require extra care and maintenance.
This is because such cheap furniture is less durable and therefore tends to
dent or scratch easily. You will also miss out on the attractive grains of the
hardwoods that stain beautifully, should you opt to buy outdoor furniture made from
softwood. One of the most commonly used softwoods for outdoor living furniture
is pine. This type of discount furniture is mainly used as shelving because it
does not readily accept paint. Softwoods used for furniture are typically designated
as “appearance” lumber at online furniture stores, and include most softwood
lumber which has been custom milled to a pattern, or otherwise surfaced on all
four sides.
Composites
If you are on a budget and looking to save costs, consider the
composites when selecting your outdoor furniture online. You can buy gardenfurniture made from composite manufactured woods such as plywood, particle
board and hardboard, which tend to be cheaper than the naturally grown woods. It
is also possible to buy furniture online from a range of varying surface finishes.
You may opt for simple lines and distinct decorative front patterns, which
are ideal for contemporary outdoor furniture. Alternatively, go for delicate, soft lines combined with deep, subdued
shades of brown to create an atmospheric composition. Shop at OzUrban for high
quality wooden outdoor furniture today!

OzUrban Australia: Press Release
OzUrban, a
new Online Furniture Company Launched
Press
Release: June 19, 2014 - New onlinefurniture company, OzUrban, recently launched with a promotion of special sales.
The company’s mission is to offer the most affordable outdoor furniture.
As part of its special sales promotion, OzUrban’s unique and innovative
product offerings include outdoorsettings and bench seats, currently their most popular products. Their unique
designs for small space saving furniture are also set to become very attractive
to people living in apartments and smaller homes.
“There is a big movement of people from big
suburban houses to smaller apartments and small homes in Australia because of
the price of living and less upkeep requirements for little homes. Because of
this, they have little space and our products, such as the Hideaway Set, will
be perfect for them. There aren’t many options around for small apartmentliving, and the current products are very expensive, so we are competitive,”
explains OzUrban CEO Matthew Sills.
OzUrban offers unique products that are delivered
in a flat pack box, which helps cut down on shipping and handling costs. The
products are very easy to assemble and can be placed around the alfresco, patio,
balcony, pool and garden. The furniture is made from sustainably sourced
timber and hardwood, which is great for the environment. Designed with a modern
feel, comfortable and solid, with a sturdy structure, the products also come
with a 3 month guarantee on quality.
“Our ambitious agenda for 2014 includes plans
to use our low overheads to undercut all other furniture companies with very
reasonably priced products,” adds Sills. “We aim to keep our prices as low as
possible, passing on savings to our customers. We plan to continue importing an
extensive range of outdoor furniture and décor that offers our customers a
great choice of modern home products at the very best price.”
OzUrban is based in Australia, which is a great
market for outdoor living products because of the outdoor lifestyle of
Australians and the excellent weather.
“Australia is an expensive country, and big
retail companies have bulk buying power to undercut the smaller competitors. We
may be a family business trying to compete with these big companies, but we are
still able to offer better prices than them.”
About OzUrban
OzUrban is an Australian-owned and family run
online furniture company, based in Brisbane, Queensland. The company has a
warehouse from which customers can pick up orders, and it also offers
affordable shipping services within Australia. Another related family
business in housing supplies helps manage storage and import costs. OzUrban aims
to become Australia’s leading online store specializing in affordable outdoorfurniture.

How much should you pay for your Outdoor Furniture?
How Much Should You Pay for Your Outdoor Furniture?
Timber outdoor furniture is a good investment to make for your outdoor settings. There are numerous outdoor furniture options available today that may
be used for garden furniture, patio furniture or balcony furniture, including wooden tables, patio lounge chairs, outdoor benches and outdoor tables. It is
important to buy outdoor furniture of a good quality, while taking into account
what your budget allows. Below is a look at various factors to take into
consideration when determining the costs of your outdoor furniture.
Material is Key
Try to find out where the manufacturer sources their materials to ensure
that they use only the very best quality for their wooden furniture items. Go
for sustainably sourced timber furniture or teak furniture, with a modern feel, that’s solid and
comfortable, with a sturdy structure. Find versatile outdoor furniture that you
can use in any sort of space, be it alfresco, on your patio, balcony, garden or
pool.
Finishing Matters
For a more traditional look to your outdoor living furniture, go for
a natural wood finish or painted wood. This is typically less expensive than
the more contemporary outdoor furniture finishes. The cheap furniture you
choose should be well finished to protect it from growing mould which could end
up destroying it.
Tailor-Made Just For You
If you want to buy furniture online at online furniture stores, it
will typically cost you more to have your furniture items fully customized to
your specifications. Additional features such as cushions and shelving will
also increase the overall costs of your outdoor discount furniture.
The Right Size
When you buy garden furniture, the size of your cheap outdoor furniture will be another determining factor of how much you have to spend. It
goes without saying that the bigger the item of outdoor furniture online, the
more it is likely to cost you.
Quality Costs More
The type of material you chose will normally affect the overall
costs of your outdoor furniture in Sydney. That said, you should buy outdoor furniture in Melbourne only from manufacturers that use good quality material.
Do not compromise on quality for your outdoor furniture in Brisbane as you
might regret this later.
If you settle for low quality material for your outdoor furniture at the Sunshine Coast, it is likely that this will not last very long and you may
end up having to replace it which will cost you even more money. Contact
OzUrban today for the best prices in outdoor furniture.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Furniture
Outdoor furniture items are an
integral part of decorating any home. It is important to choose the right type
of online furniture for your outdoor settings and not simply settle for the
first pieces you see. There are numerous types and styles that homeowners who
want to buy garden furniture can choose from. These include outdoor benches,
outdoor tables, wooden tables, patio lounge chairs, patio furniture and balconyfurniture. When you buy outdoor furniture online for outdoor living, the
following factors will come into play.
Size & Durability
First of all, you will need to factor
in the size of the space in which you wish to place the outdoor furniture atthe Sunshine Coast, to ensure protection from the sun and make sure the items
fit well. Another aspect to consider is the type of wood used in constructing your
outdoor furniture in Sydney, as well as the type of wood finish you want, when
exposed to the seaside elements. Ultimately, your choice of outdoor furniture inMelbourne will largely depend on its intended use due to the climate. If you
are looking for a durable and long lasting solution, buy furniture online that
is made of a solid quality mixed wood like timber. For long-term use, avoid outdoorfurniture in Brisbane made of pine, as they are subject to the humid and sunny
conditions, and tend to be fragile and dent easily, thereby requiring much more
care to ensure that they last longer.
Style & Comfort
With regards to style, opt for outdoorfurniture that will complement the rest of the furniture that you have outside,
especially in terms of material and color. Buy garden furniture that you can
position anywhere, and which is usable in any sort of space, be it alfresco, on
your patio, balcony, pool or garden. Depending on your particular taste, you
may want to buy outdoor furniture online with a modern feel, that’s solid and
comfortable, with a sturdy structure. Before making your purchase, inquire
whether the outdoor furniture comes with a guarantee – a good period being a
minimum of 3 months.
Cost & Material
Cheap outdoor furniture such as
sustainably sourced timber furniture and teak furniture is more versatile in
terms of style, design and affordability. This type of wooden furniture is also
great as it tends to last longer. Cheap furniture items may come in different
styles such as the traditional painted outdoor furniture or the contemporary
dark wood designs. Whatever type of discount furniture you opt for at onlinefurniture stores, ensure that it is properly maintained such that it can last
longer. Shop from OzUrban today for the very best in outdoor furniture.
