How to Place Stone Furniture
.
Sure......it sounds easy, but there are a lot of things to consider when placing stone furniture. Weather you have a small area or a large area to fill here are a few tips that will make planning easier:
1) Location: pick an area that you enjoy and want to spend a lot of time.
2) The view: if you are going to spend a lot of time sitting in an area make sure that the view is something that you love.
3) Weather: the sun and wind play a lot into placing stone furniture. If this is an area that you will spend more time during the early morning hours then you will probably want your furniture facing east to warm it. If you are going to be out there at high noon think about having shade to keep you from getting too hot. You can put your seating under a tree or have an umbrella in a stand that is readily available to pop open. In the evening stone furniture will retain heat and dissipate it after the sun has set. This is a great feature and sitting in chairs that have warmed from the sun is a great way to settle into star gazing.
4) Deck: stone furniture is perfectly fine to set on a deck. The main thing to remember is that you will probably have a railing in view and therefore would probably want to go with a bar set. This will put you up over the railing and give you a better view.
5) Open Setting: the beauty of stone furniture is that you can set it anywhere and this includes the boonies. It can be set in a forest, under a tree, by a pond, on top of a mountain, or on a trail. It does not require any maintenance, its not going to blow away, and it will always be there waiting for you to take a rest.
6) Swivel or not to Swivel: there are many times when swivel chairs are a must. When sitting in an area that you want to enjoy 360 degree views, its worth investing in swivel chairs. It is also great to have swivel stools at a bar or in a small space.
7) Placing next to a pool: the first piece of furniture that comes to mind is the chaise lounge. Perfect to lay in and take a nap or read a book. Dining Sets are great by a pool too so that you can enjoy snacks and drinks next to the pool.
8) In the garden: place a bench in your garden for enhancement and relaxing. A bench under a tree is nice or put 2 back to back under a tree to enjoy views in all directions.
9) Public Areas: at the office or in a public location, a bench works great because we build them to be secured to the ground and they also accommodate several people at one time. The solid picnic tables are great in the courtyard at the office. The average weight on a set with 4 stools is 2400 lbs. These sets are not going to disappear.
10) Fire Pit: Deep Seating stone chairs are best around a fire pit. They are flame retardant and no maintenance is required. They are sloped back for a comfortable relaxing sit.
11) Your favorite spot: the Deep Seating chair in Stone works everywhere and you can add an ottoman to kick your feet up to read and relax.
Regardless of where you place your Stone Furniture, you will have years of comfort and relaxation with no maintenance and never a worry that your furniture will blow away, crack, chip or splitter. Stone Furniture is a great way to enhance the surrounding beauty of nature and increase your enjoyment of your favorite spot.
