Softwood garden furniture
Garden furniture made from softwood such as pine is a great, cost effective alternative to hardwood. Also because it's sold untreated, you have the advantage of being able to finish it to suit your taste. However, unlike hardwoods, softwood has poor natural weather resistance so it's vital that softwood furniture is well protected against rot, decay and moisture damage.
