What’s in a Bean Bag Chair?

A bean bag, by definition, is thought to be a bag filled with dried beans.  However, despite its straight-forward name, a bean bag chair does not have to be filled with beans.  There are, in fact, several fillings available for your bean bag chair.  Each one is unique and has its own sets of advantages and disadvantages.

Polystyrene Beads

For several years, one of the most common bean bag fillers has been polystyrene beads.  These beads provide a unique comfort.  They compress and shift around to form to your body as you sink into the comfort of your chair.

Styrofoam Peanuts

Another form of filler is Styrofoam peanuts.  The advantage to using Styrofoam peanuts is that whenever you receive packages in the mail, chances are you get a whole new supply of peanuts as well.  Those can be tossed into your bean bag chair to help re-fill it as the contents inevitably begin to break down.  A few packing peanuts here and there will keep your chair in its ideal shape.

Rice & Beans

Dried beans and/or rice can also be used to fill your bean bag.  These items are both relatively inexpensive and are available at your every-day supermarket.  However, if you live in a moist/humid environment, this may not be the best solution for you.  Using rice and/or beans as a filling may also attract moths, insects or even rodents.


Polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam is the latest type of professional bean bag stuffing.  This filler is made of small chunks of high density foam.  It provides much needed support, is extremely comfortable and can be shaken up for re-shaping over and over again.

Find the filler that is right for you.  No matter what you decide to use, you’re sure to sit back and relax in the comfort of your bean bag chair!

Sand Casting Our Metal Garden Furniture

1.     Mold-making - A sand mold is formed by packing sand into each half of the mold. The sand is packed around the pattern, which is a replica of the external shape of the casting. The cavity that will form the casting remains when the pattern is removed. Most metal garden furniture factories will use a cheap mdf pattern, we use a much more expensive resin pattern that achieves a cleaner and sharper surface finish.                                    
2.    Clamping - Once the mold has been made, it must be prepared for the molten metal to be poured. The surface of the mold cavity is first lubricated to facilitate the removal of the casting. Then the mold halves are closed and securely clamped together.

3.    Pouring - The molten metal is maintained at a set temperature in a furnace. After the mold has been clamped, the molten metal can be ladled from its holding container in the furnace and poured into the mold. Many of our competitors use a charcoal furnace, whereas we use an electric furnace. Consequently, the temperature is constant – avoiding bubbling within the cast. Bubbling - think of Aero chocolate, causes metal fatigue, shrinkage, cracks or incomplete sections.

4.    Cooling - The molten metal that is poured into the mold will begin to cool and solidify once it enters the cavity. When the entire cavity is filled and the molten metal solidifies, the final shape of the casting is formed.

5.    Removal - After the predetermined solidification time has passed, the sand mold can simply be broken, and the casting removed. At Outdoor Edge this step, sometimes called shakeout, is performed by a vibrating machine that shakes the sand and casting out of the flask.

6.    Trimming - During cooling, the material from the channels in the mold solidifies and is attached to the cast part. This excess material is trimmed from the casting via a trimming press.

7.    Welding – apart from correct, constant weld temperature the bare metal parts must be thoroughly cleaned before welding. Aluminium is a very reactive metal, within minutes pure aluminium will combine with oxygen to form aluminium oxide, which forms a very thin, whitish bloom. This coating prevents the metal from reacting further with oxygen and protects the metal from further corrosion (rusting). Aluminium oxide melts at 3 times the temperature of pure aluminium, so if the oxide is present the weld will eventually fail.

8.     Painting – we use powder coating which will last approximately 15 years. Many producers just use metal paint which starts to flake and peel off after a couple of years. Again, it is crucial that the aluminium is scrupulously cleaned, otherwise the aluminium oxide will prevail and a white bloom will eventually appear through the powder coating.

Painting Outdoor Rocking Chairs

Wooden outdoor rocking chairs may not require any finish. Some woods, particularly teak, cedar, and cypress, possess qualities that allow them to withstand weathering with very little maintenance and no chemical treatment. These woods resist moisture and dry out faster than other woods. Natural oils they produce repel insects and pests. When left unfinished, the wood weathers, over time, into a silvery gray. Owners who wish to preserve the wood's original color will need to choose a finishing method for their outdoor rocking chairs. Staining, sealing, painting, and oiling are some of the alternatives available.

You may wish to apply a primer as your first coat. A primer usually helps the finishing paint to adhere to the surface better. Some people, however, choose not to use a primer. If you are painting new outdoor rocking chairs, a primer may not be necessary. However, if you are painting chairs that have already weathered or have been previously painted or stained, you will find primer a helpful tool. Primer is usually necessary if you are switching from light color to dark, or vice-versa. It not only helps the paint to adhere, but it also provides for more even color.

After you finish your last coat of paint, you might be pleased with your accomplishment. But as the months roll by, you may begin to wonder when you might have to repaint your masterpieces. You will probably need to refinish your wooden outdoor rocking chairs every 1 to 3 years. So if you have paint left over from your initial finishing work, save it. You can store paint safely by closing the lid tightly and storing the can away from extreme temperatures. As a flammable substance, paint can create a hazard if close to a heat source. Freezing can also cause water-based paint to degrade.

Remove any screw that is still there on the chair. Also pull out the parts that are no longer strong enough to support the chair.
Make the chair as strong as you can by reassembling the parts (that you had earlier pulled apart) with glue and clamps and then putting the screws back from where you disassembled them.
If you plan to stain the wood, take out all the paint with the help of sandpaper. However, if you wish to paint your old furniture chair, you don't need to sand it down to the wood.
Wipe the chair with a damp cloth and let it dry.
If staining, apply the wood stain with a piece of cloth evenly over the whole chair. Apply stain  everywhere, even in the cracks. Apply two coats of stain to get a perfect even surface.

The Benefits of Lumbar Cushions for Your Desk Chair

Is your current desk chair uncomfortable? Do you find that your lower back aches by the end of the day? Can't afford (or the boss won't approve) the purchase of a new ergonomic office chair? Then perhaps you should consider purchasing a back support for your current chair, specifically a lumbar cushion. There are many benefits to using a lumbar back support cushion including cost, portability, and customization options. Read on to find out how something as simple as adding a lumbar support cushion to your office chair can make a big difference in how your back feels at the end of the day.

Cost: A lumbar pillow, such as the Duro-Med Relax-a-Bac, is a quick and inexpensive way to  make your office chair more ergonomically correct.  These cushion are made of dense, molded foam and many include a strap to secure them to the chair so they stay in place. The cushion supports your back and promotes proper spinal alignment. Prices range from about $15-35 dollars.

Portability: Another benefit of lumbar cushions is portability. You can use them in the car when driving, move them from chair to chair throughout the day, and they are a great option when traveling.

While you can purchase specially made, expensive, orthopedic cushions, the majority of people find that a fairly inexpensive lumbar cushion accomplishes just what they are looking for. It supports your spine and thus improves your posture in any chair or seat, including your current desk chair, and makes for a more pain-free day. A well-made lumbar cushion, made from high-quality dense foam should last for years. Those cushions made from cheap foam can flatten into useless pancakes after only a couple of weeks. Be sure to check out the customer reviews before  making a purchase to find out which brands hold up over time. Some that get excellent reviews  are the Relax-a-Bac, the OPTP Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll, and the Obus Forme Backrest.

Top 5 Shower Chair Benefits

Many people are now considering buying shower chairs for bathroom safety. These chairs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. Some shower chair models are simple stools, while others have arm and back rests. Some have wheels, while others simply have non-slip legs. The model that you choose should depend largely on the purpose for which you are buying a shower chair. Here are the top five reasons for buying a shower chair:

1. Stability

If you have some difficulties in getting in and out of the bathtub, or if you are unable to remain standing for very long, then a shower chair is definitely a must-have for you. It provides you with the necessary stability while bathing and allows you to move freely enough to give yourself a thorough cleaning. Some models of the shower chair even have security straps for additional stability and to prevent you from falling off the chair during bathing.

2. Safety

This is, of course, the most important benefit that a shower chair has to offer. Shower chairs allow the elderly as well as those with mobility problems to safely bathe themselves. In other cases, it also allows caregivers to provide baths more easily. The seats of shower chairs are generally contoured such that water is immediately drained, thus preventing the user from slipping or falling off the chair.

3. Easy Assistance

If assistance during bathing is an absolute necessity, a shower chair can also make the bathing process a lot easier for the caregiver. A person sitting inside a bathtub can be difficult to reach and someone who has difficulty in standing for a prolonged period can be quite difficult to support and bathe at the same time. The shower chair, therefore, provides the best solution to this dilemma.

4. Independence

While it may be easy enough for you to accept that you need assistance in performing some of your daily tasks, having to ask someone else to bathe you is a totally different matter. Most people would balk at this and feel humiliated by the need to have someone else in the shower with them. With a shower chair, you'll be able to handle the bathing process on your own. This can make a huge difference in the emotional health of those who may become depressed with the idea of having to rely on someone else for their bathing needs.

5. Cost-effective

Other options for people with mobility issues to make their bathrooms safer and more accessible can be very expensive. Shower chairs are definitely a much cheaper alternative. Just as these chairs vary in their designs, they come in a wide range of prices as well. You're sure to find one that suits your budget as well as your physical safety needs.
