Product Description
Strathwood has broadened its handsome collection of cast-aluminum furniture with the St. Thomas ensemble. Durable yet surprisingly lightweight, these two armchairs add a more upscale look to a deck or patio than wooden furniture, and are easier to move around. Designed to swivel and offer a gentle, slight bounce/rock, the chairs provide a graceful range of motion. Screw-on glides underneath the chairs' legs allow some leeway in adjusting for uneven surfaces. Sized for comfort and utility, each chair measures 25 inches wide by 26-1/2 inches deep by 36 inches high and weighs approximately 25 pounds.

Adding comfort to each metal chair is a 3-inch-thick cushion upholstered in fabric designed for outdoor use. The light beige cover is made of Olefin, which repels water and wipes clean but does not remove for cleaning. Two Velcro tabs on the back attach the cushion to the chair so it won't slide around or blow off in a strong wind. The tabs are located in the centers of the back corners, allowing for easy flipping of the cushions to hide spills or just to rejuvenate them. Each cushion measures 21-1/2 inches deep by 20 inches wide.

The full St. Thomas dining collection includes a dining table, a side table with ice bucket, a choice of dining armchair styles and an umbrella with matching base. For further accessorizing, pair the pieces in this collection with pieces in the St. Thomas Cast Aluminum Deep Seating Collection. Each piece features the same ornamental scrolling vine motif in a dark-brown finish with bronze highlights and silver flecks. This all-weather, easy-care furniture is made from the highest grade of aluminum. It is sand casted, covered in a powder-coat finish, and designed to be rust-free.

Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

How to Clean Vinyl Patio Furniture

Vinyl patio furniture can begin to look worn and dirty if it's consistently left out in the weather. Luckily, there are several different methods you can use to clean vinyl patio furniture using common household items. Try these methods one at a time, and if you aren't seeing results, then move on to another. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Mix cup liquid dish soap with 1 gallon hot water in a small bucket. Clean the vinyl patio furniture with the soapy water using a soft scrub brush, and then rinse with clean water. This is the gentlest way to clean, but may not be effective if the furniture is excessively dirty.

2

Combine 1 part washing soda and 10 parts water in a small bucket. Apply the solution to the vinyl patio furniture gently with a sponge or clean cotton cloth. Rinse clean with cool water and allow the furniture to dry completely. Washing soda is a non-toxic cleaner found in the laundry aisle of your local supermarket. It cuts through tough dirt and grime with very little effort.

3

Combine cup liquid dishwasher detergent with one gallon of water in a small bucket. Put on rubber gloves and apply the solution directly to the vinyl patio furniture with a sponge or clean, cotton cloth. Rinse clean with cool water once all the dirt has been removed. If necessary, use a scrub brush to remove stubborn dirt.

4

Dilute apple cider vinegar in water. Combine equal parts of each in a large spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the vinyl patio furniture, and scrub with a sponge or scrub brush. Rinse clean with cool water once all of the dirt has been removed.

5

Combine 1 tablespoon of bleach with 1 gallon of water in a small bucket. Put on rubber gloves and apply the solution directly to the vinyl patio furniture with a sponge or cloth. Rinse clean with cool water when all the grime is gone.

Mailbox Garden Ideas

When it comes to landscaping, the mailbox area is commonly overlooked. Bricked-in mailboxes with similarly bricked plant beds attached are ideal for planting a mailbox garden. Mailboxes mounted on a post directly in grass, or near a curb, also present an excellent opportunity for planting a mailbox garden. Put to use, mailbox garden ideas will give garden-like appeal to this oft-forgotten area of the yard. Does this Spark an idea?

Prepare the Garden Area

As with any garden, prepare the ground. Deeply rake soil, removing rocks, old plant roots, dead leaves and debris. Freshen or replace soil with outdoor plant soil. For post mailboxes, clear away grass where the garden will be planted. Secure weed guard, a fabric that holds weeds at bay, and add landscape rock or paving stones around the perimeter of the fabric. Landscape rock and paving stone can be found at bulk rock sales locations or at home improvement centers and nurseries. Create a shape with stones for the mailbox garden, navigating around the post to form a circle, square, or rectangle.

Know Your Plant Zone

Become familiar with the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Zones are broken down by area temperature highs and lows across the U.S. Most plants in a nursery are labeled with zone numbers. The plant zone number informs gardeners what plants are best suited for their zone, regarding heat tolerance and cold hardiness. The plant zone number on plants usually contains information that makes it infinitely easier to select appropriate plants. Zone information for plants usually includes a reference to optimum height and width plants are expected to reach.

Choose Plants

Do not plant anything that will grow taller than the mailbox. Select perennial plants, preferably evergreens. Perennials will not die out after one season, and evergreens keep foliage year-round. A dwarf variety of perennial evergreen shrub is an excellent option. Examples are Blue Star Juniper, hardy in zones 5-9, and Hemlock, hardy in zones 3-8. These are non-flowering shrubs but will keep the small garden flush with greenery year round.

Add Color

Choose perennial flowering bushes such as Butterfly Bush and Azaleas for lovely blooms. Purple Ice Plant and Lavender are unique-looking flowering perennial plants ideally suited for small gardens. Poker Primrose, good in zones 5-8, has striking reddish, tubular blooms. For a classic look, roses always look good. Look for a rose variety deemed zone hardy in a color that pleases.

Pesky Pets

It is realistic to acknowledge that wandering pets will occasionally use the mailbox garden as a restroom. Place decorative rocks on the topsoil surrounding plants to discourage such activity. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on the soil if cats are the unwanted visitors, with the added benefit that a few small pepper plants may sprout.

When Is a Good Time to Prune Rose of Sharon?

Also known as shrub althea, Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriana) offers colorful pink, purple or white blooms every summer. Control the plant size -- trees can grow 6 to 10 feet tall -- through pruning, and prune once each year. Does this Spark an idea?

Time Frame

Since Rose of Sharon blooms on new growth, the ideal time to prune this tree without sacrificing blooms is after it flowers. This means you'll be pruning in the fall and not spring.

Significance

Trees pruned earlier bear fewer flowers -- since you removed the buds -- but the blossoms are larger. If you want size, not number, go for spring pruning. Trees pruned after they bloom have full bloom coverage and standard-sized flowers.

Considerations

No matter when you want to prune your tree, pay attention to the Rose of Sharon throughout the year. If the tree gets diseased or damaged -- for example, a limb breaks in a storm -- removing the diseased or damaged wood is your best bet for keeping the overall tree healthy.
