Reusing Plastic Patio Chairs
The problem with cheap is they break. Cheap plastic patio chair break really easily and thus become disposable, end up in trash cans and our landfills. What can you do with them? If I went down the alley where I live, there are 6 plastic chairs within a 1 block radius, either going into the trash or with Free Signs on them. That is a lot of chairs in a small area that will be taking up space.
