Pool Furniture

Poly is a popular material used for patio furniture. Specifically, poly is a heavy-duty, recycled, and all weather plastic material that is formed into wood-like lumber during the manufacturing process.

Poly furniture goes by many different names. You'll hear poly furniture referred to as: faux wood, polywood, trex, wood look, poly resin, composite, polyethylene, HDPE, poly plastic, recycled plastic, all weather, & weather resistant patio furniture.  

Those synonyms are all generally used interchangeably. Technically speaking, however, there are slight differences in the materials listed above - and it all depends on the individual seller.  

Phat Tommy's proprietary poly outdoor furniture is made from 100% recyclable polyethylene plastic. This heavy-duty plastic is also referred to as High-density Polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE material is equally strong, weatherproof, and comfortable - making it the best all weather patio furniture.  

Durability: One of the most significant advantages of our poly furniture is its durability. HDPE does not lose its density or strength during the recycling process. This allows us to provide an environmentally-friendly product while also promising durability. All poly chairs have a 450 lb. weight capacity. Our poly is light enough to move around your patio but also sturdy enough that it will resist blowing away in the wind and fading in the sun.  

Comfortable: Our poly chairs are equally comfortable as they are durable. They are smooth to the look and touch, giving you the appearance of wood but the strength of poly. Each is handcrafted in the USA by local artisans that prioritize contoured seat and chair backs. The contoured seats and chair backs are easy to get in and out. Each chair also features wide arm rests perfect for your favorite drink.
