Garden cushions are another popular choice, and are perfect for if you want something a bit more informal, or even if you’re throwing a huge party and want everyone to have a comfortable seat. Let’s not forget benches as well – a few additions such as cushions or blankets will make another stylish and comfortable seating area.

Good for the Environment As Well As For You

Here at Chic Teak, we take our obligations and responsibilities seriously. We want to provide you with the best quality garden furniture sets possible, but we want to do it in a sustainable, economic and environmentally friendly way. We’re confident that we’ve managed to achieve this, and we think you will be too.

Our first and most important priority is to only ever source the wood for our garden furniture sets from sustainable plantations in Indonesia. Teak has long been sourced by cutting down rainforest trees, but thankfully in recent years it’s been winding down. It still operates in some areas, but by supporting sustainable plantations we’re striving to put unethical and illegal loggers out of business to keep the rainforest going.

We also take good care of our teak, letting it mature for long enough and only using the heart of the tree to create a superior product. This not only does the teak good but it also does you good as well – by sourcing the wood from the right places at the right time, you get garden tables, chairs and related accessories that are of a much higher quality than you otherwise would.

But, it doesn’t stop there. We also take care of our employees, and we’re proud to say that our Indonesian plantations (all government-run to strict regulations) provide valuable jobs, security and income to local people.

As you can see, here at Chic Teak we really do care about the environment and about everyone who comes into contact with our products, including you, the customer. To see just how much care we put in, take a look at our range of teak garden furniture and you’ll soon realise what we do.

Garden Swing

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Wooden garden furniture offers many ways to enjoy your garden, but few are more satisfying than peacefully rocking in an outdoor swing seat. Garden swing seats are the single most relaxing addition to any wooden garden furniture set, as they can transport you to instant happiness in a moment. There really is no better way to appreciate the beauty of nature and the habits of wildlife than from the comfort of garden swing seats. Whether you are reading a book, enjoying a little doze or just observing the scenery, a swing seat is the perfect place to forget all of your worries. What could be better than sipping a refreshing drink outdoors while peacefully rocking back and forth?

However, there are problems with . There are times when bright sunshine or, more likely, sudden rain showers cut your relaxing swing times short. It can also be a bit of a chore having to wipe down your swing seat before you can use it for fear of sitting in bird droppings or raind drops. The solution to these small but significant problems is a swing seat with a canopy. The canopy material overhead provides ample protection from strong sunshine or any sudden showers from out of the blue. Instead of having to retreat indoors and observe nature from your window, a canopy swing seat allows you to relax and swing, no matter what the weather brings.

Wooden Furniture for the Traditional British Garden

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

We British are a green-fingered people, who like to spend an evening having a ‘potter’ in the garden. To many Brits, a well-cared-for, traditional cottage garden is something which can bring many hours of happiness.

A traditional cottage garden is the ideal setting for wooden garden furniture; a nice wooden bench, along with some wooden loungers to take a rest from all that ‘pottering’. A wooden garden table, and a few chairs, could also be added so that you and your guests can comfortably enjoy a snack or a drink outdoors. However, the unpredictable British weather needs to be considered, so a parasol may well be a necessary purchase to provide protection from the rain or sunshine.

A wooden picnic table can be an inspired addition, as it is a wonderfully versatile accessory. It can be used for a number of purposes such as playing chess or for children’s play. It can be worthwhile to add children’s furniture to the garden so that they are equally catered for and the outdoors can be enjoyed by the family as a whole.

Once you have set out your wooden garden furniture you need to ensure that it remains correctly maintained. If a protective finish is not applied to your wooden furniture then it will soon deteriorate from exposure to the elements. Given due care and attention your wooden furniture will be a source of much pleasure for many years to come.
