POLYWOOD AD5030GY Classic Folding Adirondack Chair

Overview

A folding Adirondack chair from POLYWOOD, model AD5030GY, in slate grey, made from recycled HDPE plastic lumber rather than wood, with a 20 year warranty against splintering, cracking, chipping and peeling.

Since the material is plastic lumber made from recycled milk jugs and detergent bottles rather than real wood, it skips the staining and sealing upkeep a wood Adirondack needs, at the cost of a more uniform, molded look. It folds flat for storage or transport, and at 34 lb it is light enough for one person to move while still carrying POLYWOOD's climate warranty.

• Made from recycled HDPE plastic lumber
• Folds flat, weighs 34 lb
• 20 year warranty
• 29 x 35.75 x 35.75 inch dimensions

Who it's for

Buyers wanting a low-maintenance outdoor chair that survives sun, snow and coastal wind without repainting or sealing. Less suited to anyone who wants the grain and feel of real wood, since this is molded recycled plastic shaped to resemble painted wood.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The HDPE lumber is formulated to withstand UV exposure, moisture and temperature swings without splintering, cracking, chipping, peeling or rotting, which is what the 20 year warranty covers. The contoured seat and back follow standard Adirondack shaping for a reclined sit, and the frame folds flat along its joints for storage between seasons. It is made in the USA, per the listing.
