Outdoor Lawn
Furniture
VSI has developed and built a full-line
of Adirondack Furniture including Adult sized chairs,
sofas, and love seats complimented with end tables,
coffee tables, and ottomans.
In
addition to the full size lineup, VSI offers Youth and
Toddler sized furniture including chairs and tables. A
great, just their size, compliment to your lawn or patio
for your children or grandchildren. With custom painted
options available, VSI can tailor your little one’s
furniture.
Customers of our Hand-crafted Furniture
have bought the furniture for use at their home, lake
cottage, hunting camp, and even for use in public areas
of their communities. We must agree, they are a
beautiful addition to any setting—adding a touch of
rustic elegance.
Built from only the finest Northern White
Cedar, the outdoor furniture line offered by VSI is sure
to give you endless afternoons of relaxation and
enjoyment. Finished in its natural state, Cedar offers
many advantages for this type of application. Cedar is
a lightweight and dimensionally stable wood that stays
straight and lies flat, resisting the natural tendency
to crack and check. Cedar also has a very distinctive
cell structure that discourages moisture rot by allowing
the piece to dry quicker than other wood species. Cedar
also has natural preservatives that resist the affects
of bacteria - further aiding in preserving your lawn
furniture for years of enjoyment. Please contact VSI for
purchasing information. Dealer inquiries are also
welcome. |

Lawn
& Garden Accessories
All summer long you have toiled in your
garden and worked so hard to make your yard an inviting
place for friends and family. The folks at VSI recognize
the effort that is required to nurture such a beautiful
place and have built some outdoor garden accessories
that will compliment the hard work you have already done
while at the same time, providing you with greater
options as you work to enhance your lawn and garden
areas.
Garden Arbors, Trellis Work, and Planter Boxes are just
one way for you to add that finishing touch. Like our
outdoor furniture line, all the Lawn and Garden items
are built of Northern White Cedar and hand-crafted to
offer you superior quality and value. Suitable for any
application; lawn, garden, patio, park, or city
streetscape, the hand-crafted Lawn and Garden
accessories will be a welcome addition.
Styles of the Garden Arbors vary from a subtle radius to
a common peaked roof with options to suit your specific
application. Options to each of the Arbors include
Gates, Side Mount Planter Boxes, and a Bench.
VSI’s Planter Boxes are well-built and can be purchased
in a variety of styles and finishes. Equally fitting for
indoor or outdoor use, the planter boxes you see can be
used in a variety of settings. In fact, many of the
planters you see can be found in many local pool/spa
rooms, office areas, patios, lawns, gardens and along
several streetscapes.

Sauna
Products
Sauna
mats have been a primary product of VSI’s for years.
Many suggestions have been made by our customers and we
have incorporated them into our sauna products.
Sauna
mats are ready and come in 9 standards sizes ranging
from 18x24” to 36”x48”. Recognizing that you might
require a different size, we also can custom build sauna
mats and rigid mat boards to your specification. Call
for pricing.
Sauna Rests can be used for many purposes. Most of our
customers like to use them as a back rest which helps
increase air flow around the entire torso. Some of our
customers use them as a foot rest, and for the die hard
sauna enthusiast, they work equally as well as a head
rest in the event you decide to lay down. However you
choose to use them, no sauna is complete without them.
Soap and Shampoo Caddies are a great alternative to
trying to free the set up soap bars from the sauna
bench. They also eliminate the need to reach into the
gooey pile that used to be your soap bar. Made with
galvanized screening on the bottom, the Soap and Shampoo
Caddies allow water and moisture to drain, while keeping
the soap bars off of the bench- reducing soap scum
staining.
For more information about our sauna products including
signage, mats, rests, and caddies, please contact us. We
can ship our products virtually anywhere you choose. |
