Help, please - Bandsaw Blade Question

I have to cut some rockers for adirondack chairs
out of 1 1/2" pressure treated and would like some
recommendations on blade width and TPI. Thanks!
I'm using a 14" bandsaw, if that matters.

Bob's advice is good. However, if you can't find a source of advice, then
go along with the old convention of using as wide a blade as you can for the
job, with the coarsest teeth which will give a finish acceptable to you.

I use a 1/2" 6 tpi skip-tooth as a general purpose blade and it would
certainly do that job just fine.

Cheers,

Frank
