If you look at Target.com, they have a lot of their patio furniture at a great discount right now. Look around the internet for any shipping discounts.


Home and Garden-How is shopping for furniture through Amazon like?

Hi,


I am trying to buy a Brown Microfiber Chaise Lounger from Amazon.com. The reviews that I have read so far is positive. As a first timer with on-line furniture shopping, I am nervous.





I am trying to find out some basics of how long it really takes for the piece to ship? Does it arrive as the one in the picture and the condition it arrives in? If anyone had an experience with returning a piece? Hope it won't come to that, but thanks for reading.

Most of the furniture listed in Amazon are sold by third party. You may want to check the credibility of the sellers, and their policy on shipping, returns, damages, etc.





I've had good experiences with http://www.homelement.com





Good luck!


Furniture from garden tree?

We have a gorgeous willow tree in our garden which will have to come down in the near future (For all you about to admonish me, i wish it could stay up, but its becoming unsafe and damaging our house foundations!) I would love to use the wood to make some furniture for our house. How do i go about this? Who do i need to talk to? I have no idea what steps the wood has to go through before a carpenter can use it. (Apart from the obvious cutting down part!) Many thanks x

Furniture from garden tree?
You would need to bring it to a lumber mill yard to have it stripped and will have to age to release the moisture before you can use it. It depends on how soon you need to use the wood for the furniture. They can kiln dry it, but will cost you more money. But, it would be better than leaving it outside to resist insect infestation.





Great idea.

Does anyone know some good search keywords for garden furniture?

Garden furniture (of course) would be your first bet...I came up with 52 million hits on a yahoo search with just those key words.


Narrow it down. Try:


Garden and Lawn furniture


Wicker lawn furniture


Wrought iron outdoor furniture


Teak garden furniture


Cedar garden furniture





It really depends alot on which medium you are wanting in your furniture.


Antique garden furniture


simply Outdoor Furniture, would work as well.





Now, if you are looking to build your own outdoor furniture, you would probably try something like:


how-to build outdoor furniture free plans, or some combination of that. Or simply free woodworking plans, outdoor furniture.

HI everybody i really need help to stop my dog from eating my wooden garden furniture hes a 1 yr old?

english mastiff ive tried spraying deep heat on it but its not working he is probably still teathing its areal problem please help

HI everybody i really need help to stop my dog from eating my wooden garden furniture hes a 1 yr old?
I'm not sure what deep heat is, but you should spray the furniture with Bitter Apple, and then to make sure he doesn't just get used to it (some dogs can develop a taste for it), spray the Bitter Apple directly on his tongue just once so it's a really bad memory. Sounds mean, but it honestly won't hurt him, and it will keep him safe from eating hunks of wood, which is dangerous.





In addition if he is teething, you need to get him some thing he IS allowed to chew - the best thing for teething babies is a nylarope soaked in water and frozen. Also, a big red Kong with something good in it, like his kibble soaked and frozen in there, too. Keep him supplied with one good thing for asl ong as he is out with the furniture, and make sure he is chewing the appropriate thing.





Don't give him anything too hard, like real bones or adult hardness Nylabones - they'll break his teeth-, and don't give him any of the edible chew treats - they break into hunks, and get stuck in their GI tract. Just soft Kong toys that are big, and maybe a Dentabone toy.





Hope this helps!
Reply:give him lots of chew toys. the bone-shaped-ropes really worked for my dog.
Reply:I had the same problem with my border collie puppy.


there is a toy called a kong, and you fill it with peanut butter, or they have stuff to put in them, and the dog licks it out through a hole. they are entertained for hours.
Reply:get him some good chew toys. like the hard rubber kind that you can hide treats in will keep him occupied. just whenever you catch him chewing on your furniture, tell him no and give him his toys. just keep at it and eventually, it should be okay. but he does need his own chewies!
Reply:Go to a pet store like Petco and tell a represetative that you have a mastiff that is teething and is chewing on your furniture. Tell them that you are looking for the best chew toys and bones for your pet so that it will stop eating furniture. They will be happy to help you. You can even take your pet with you. They welcome pets. Good Luck
Reply:I have an English Mastiff and remember the chewing days well. We had about a dozen teething items that we would literally rotate constantly all day long. It was almost funny to see him go from something coarse to cut into his gums on purpose helping teeth get in, to something soft to alleviate the pain of it, to something frozen we would give him ( try frozen bananas and frozen carrots - keep the freezer stocked) and then to a nylabone again. We had frozen washcloths soaked in water, socks with ice cubes tied in them, and plush toys stashed everywhere and on hand. It sounds like a pain but it was more like a way of life. He honestly NEVER destroyed anything in our house because we were always giving him something he was allowed to chew. If he even looked at something he shouldnt have, we would reach to the side table and give him the dog chew toy instead and praise him. To this day, he LOVES bananas.


It isnt forever but the chewing stage requires strategy and consistency - just be patient and have a chew toy arsenal to help you. You can almost make one from household items without even going to the store.


Good luck with your big guy!
Reply:My pit bull chews up tree branches that fall in the yard. Chews 'em to bits. There's little I can do about it because I live in a wooded area. I promise you, he doesn't do it out of boredom or lack of exercise. And he has plenty of Kong toys and scrap deer antler too, which my dogs love. He's never chewed my garden furniture, maybe because he can always find a stick or antler to chew when he feels like it.





For hundreds, or thousands, of years, people have used sticks to play "fetch" with their dogs. To my dog, chewing sticks is just more "play". (He's 1 yr. old, too.) Fallen tree branches are usually soft. Go for a walk and find your dog some sticks of his own.
Reply:I think your on the write track, you have to make it tastes unpleasant. Second you have to give it something to chew on. Iv'e hear of using tobacco water spray as an insectacide, mabey it would work with dogs LOL. Good luck


Teak garden furniture better than acacia? Worth the extra money?

Yes the cost is justified. Teak ages really well, the colour deepens and as long as you maintain it with oil it should last 20/30 years

Teak garden furniture better than acacia? Worth the extra money?
Teak is among them most durable wood on earth. It is used to make decks on ships and boats because of this characteristic. You have to judge whether the high price is worth the durability based on how long you will use the furniture.
Reply:Teak is supposed to be the best because of the natural oils contained in the wood act as a preserative,but you'll find that all wooden garden funiture will need topping up with oils once a year to keep them at their best.


So it's still down to which looks best.
