Buying garden furniture is a great way to celebrate the coming summer months and to prepare yourself for a balmy British summer. However, the realists among us will take heed from previous years by looking for furniture that not only looks great but lasts for years without discolouring or warping and that offers comfort regardless of the situation or the weather conditions. Teak garden furniture is the ideal choice because of its unique combination of benefits.
Plastic furniture is cheap and this is why it has proven so popular. However, even with only moderate use the plastic can bend while a hot day is often enough to warp the chair out of shape while fading the colour. Woe betide anybody that dares to lean on the edge of the table, too, because the typically flimsy nature of the plastic table means an ensuing shower of food and crockery.
In contrast, teak furniture is a naturally strong and resilient choice. The teak wood is chosen for its strength and durability which means that even after ten years and with minimal maintenance, it will still be strong and provide the kind of support you require even after a particularly good weekend barbecue. The sun won’t warp the furniture either, and while the colour will change from a honey colour to a more rustic look, it still has a beautiful and natural appearance.
When we buy new garden furniture, many of us are guilty of looking after it for the first few months. We will diligently rub it down when it gets wet and frantically run it into the garage when the downpour starts. However, once the honeymoon period ends, we are more likely to leave garden furniture to its own devices. Metal and even some types of wood will suffer as a result of being left out in all weathers.
Teak garden furniture is almost entirely weatherproof and require very little maintenance. You can choose to keep it indoors but it doesn’t matter on those days when you’re caught on the hop, because the oil is naturally retained in the wood once the tree is felled and this means that water will not damage or disfigure your teak garden furniture.
