What are the best materials to use for outdoor wooden bar stools?

The most durable materials used for crafting outdoor wooden bar stools are:

Teak - This type of wood is commonly used in creating outdoor wooden bar stools as it’s the king of durability. It is extremely resistant to rotting and it’s reasonable dense with straight graining. It doesn’t warp or crack over time, so it can retain its attractive appearance. The problem is it can be costly as it’s $20/sq. ft. for a material that’s 1” thick. Bar stools made of teak should be thought of as investments as they are like good wine; they just get better as they age.
Redwood - Redwood is commonly used as well as it’s resistant to moisture and natural insects. Bar stools made of redwood come with a bit of pitch and resin, which make them capable of holding their finishes well. Redwood, however, is not the best material to use for your wooden stools if you are ecologically minded as redwood trees come in limited supply from the fact that they grow slowly.
Acacia - Acacia is one of your best options as it’s thick and strong with a high oil content. It's a type of hardwood that’s resistant to insects, rotting, and the elements. Acacia is abundant, so it’s an affordable type of wood used by furniture makers in creating outdoor wooden bar stools. If you are conscious regarding the impact of wooden furniture to the environment, then opt for acacia-constructed stools.

How to maintain outdoor wooden bar stools?

Wooden bar stools for outdoor use are easy to maintain. During the spring season, just give them a bit of scrubbing or washing with soapy water. Your stools may be really filthy. If so, then a simple scrubbing or wiping won’t suffice. What's best is you give each stool a quick sanding and it will look brand new. Then, apply a fresh coat of paint or wood stain so the wooden material gets extra protection from pests and the elements. If your stools don’t require refinishing, then all you need to do is use oil-free soap in washing the chairs. Rinse with clean water afterward.
