Finishing Outdoor Adirondack Chair

I would go to HD and get a piece of 3/4" Azek trim board which will never rot, and cut pieces to create a 3/4" cap for the bottom of each leg, attached with a good quality 2 part Epoxy glue. Alternatively, you could make the whole leg out of Azek.

Before painting, a good coat of high quality oil-based primer, such as Zinnser, will greatly enhance the longevity.

good luck and post photos.

'Rustoleum liquid repelling treatment' is a $9.99 two step product, comes in three colors ..... google that?

Also, placing one or more casters on the bottom of each leg to make it more resistant for ground moisture to spread into wood chair legs should help.

By the way, the $13.99 adirondack chairs, in ten colors, at Rand's Hardware in Plymouth, seem like a very comfy, long lasting, large size, and attractive design. Seems like good quality, and a good price, in ten colors!
