Theo Tierney
Outdoor Furniture Enthusiast & DIY Home Improvement Writer
I'm a longtime homeowner and self-taught outdoor living expert who's tested and rebuilt patio furniture across three different homes and climates—from humid Southeast summers to Colorado winters. What started as frustration with cheap furniture falling apart after one season turned into years of researching materials, finishes, and construction methods. I've refinished teak, rewoven wicker, and replaced countless cushions. Beyond the patio, I'm an avid woodworker and home renovator. I believe transparent, honest product guidance—not marketing hype—helps people make smarter spending decisions on their outdoor spaces.
