I am building the woodplans Adirondack settee which is a double seater with a table in between, a unique design. The bottom structure is painted and the seat spalts, table top, and seat bottom is natural wood. I would like to do the bottom in cheaper wood than ceder and use ceder for the wood parts, protecting them with clear deck treatment or UV protected poly or varnish.
What do you think is best for the painted wood parts - the chair will be outside for the summer but inside for the winter.
