I have a folding chair very similar to this one:
My question is: would western red cedar be strong enough for building a new chair to the same dimensions as the one made of oak? The oak chair sits outside, but in a covered area and does not get much weathering. The new chairs need to be able to withstand being outdoors year round, and I hate maintenance on things like this. I was going to choose cypress as I used that in some adirondack type chairs years ago, but my supply has dried up. The wrc seems very light compared to the oak and cypress and I didn't know how strong it was.
Thanks, Dukester
