Looking for some artful, yet functional pieces to spruce up your backyard this summer?  In this particular post in my series of earth-friendly outdoor furniture, I’ll focus on cool collections made from reclaimed winebarrels, watertanks and barnwood.  Other options include FSC-certified furniture where the wood is harvested from well-managed forests.  From patio dining sets to Adirondack chairs, you’ll find a wide array of outdoor furnishings made from eco-friendly materials.

• Northern California’s Whit McLeod Handcrafted Furniture creates Arts and Crafts style masterpieces, like the bench pictured here, from salvaged wood.
• Reforest Teak offers a unique collection of outdoor furnishings made from sustainably-harvested teak.
• Tennessee-based 11th Hour Furniture specializes in hand-crafted, custom-made furniture for the home and garden.  They use FSC-certified reclaimed and local woods finished with eco-friendly stains.
• Rocky Mountain Cabin Decor features a wide assortment of amazing outdoor furniture and accessories made from reclaimed barnwood and other interesting woods.
• For a list of resources for wonderful wine barrel furniture suitable for the outdoors too, see my earlier post here.
