The wood of choice for ski lodge decks, marina docks, landscape walks, and much patio furniture, such as this adirondack chair, treated pine offers distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect and rot resistant, it is cheaper than teak and other woods, and it's milled from a renewable resource: plantation grown pine.
