When we do get lovely weather in the United Kingdom, we definitely make the most of it as we appreciate the sunshine more than our neighbours in sunnier climes. However, we are often caught short when it comes to providing food, entertainment and comfort in our gardens. By the time we have dragged tatty deckchairs, ancient plastic tables and rusty barbecue sets from our lofts and garages, the opportunity has often passed and the rain sets in again.

However, by investing in some of our gorgeous teak garden furniture, you can rest assured that all you ever need to do when the sun breaks through the clouds is ensure that your fridge is stocked with food and drinks, your barbecue is primed and your friends’ numbers are on speed dial, an impromptu gathering is only minutes away. In fact, our garden umbrellas and garden furniture parasols will ensure that your barbecue continues in rain or shine. Chic Teak products are constructed from the highest quality teak wood gathered from eco-friendly sustainable plantations and made by master craftsmen in Indonesia, and we can deliver your purchases straight to your door anywhere in the UK.

1. Pop down to your local garden centre for inspiration and advice on plants that will work best in your garden all year round. Consider shrubs, perennials and climbing plants to brighten up the colder months – no traditional English garden is complete without a stunning rose trellis.

2.  Garden accessories make a traditional garden. Jot down some ideas – our garden furniture sets are an elegant and maintainable mainstay for your garden. Think about what style of garden furniture set you want. What will be its primary function – coffee breaks? Dinner parties?  Do you want wicker or teak garden furniture?  Make a cup of tea and settle down with our website or free brochure for a few hours of gentle inspiration.

3. The juxtaposition between dense, almost wild, planting and open grassy areas arguably defines a traditional English garden. Don’t be afraid of mixing flower types, heights etc. A colourful, thoughtfully planted garden will attract the best of British nature.

4. Plan a haven area for your garden furniture set. After all, what use is a garden without the facilities for you to relax and enjoy your hard work. Again, take a peek at our website for ideas. Take time to observe your garden to identify suntraps, as these will usually make the best sites for garden furniture sets.

Achieving the right look shouldn’t be too difficult either. There are plenty of garden accessories that are sure to add something to your outside space, and keeping everything congruent and stylish will guarantee that you create the right effect. Get different pieces of furniture in the same wood, and if you use soft furnishings (such as garden cushions) then keep the colours in the same palette, as this will draw the whole garden together for a stunning look.

Having teak garden furniture sets is also a sure-fire way to impress. Teak is an incredibly attractive wood, oozing quality and style, and you’re bound to get some admiring glances from anyone that sees such stunning furniture in your garden. You’ll need the table and chairs, but don’t forget the umbrella and any other seating areas as well – keep everything teak and you can’t go wrong.

Having a well-styled garden really is important in this day and age, as people place an awful lot of emphasis on looks and image. If you want to upgrade yours, make sure to invest in some stunning garden furniture sets and related accessories, ideally by coming to us here at Chic Teak, and get ready to be admired.

•    It’s durable. Teak is amazingly hard wearing and can withstand anything that the elements can throw at it, which makes it perfect for outdoor use. The natural oils in the wood make it resistant to rot, insects and other damage caused by the dampness or the humidity, meaning that it can be kept outside throughout the year without having to worry.

•    It looks great. Teak is a very close grained wood which gives it a stunning finish, creating a smooth look that’s hard to achieve with other varieties. This means it’s perfect for people that want their furniture to ooze quality and style, and with teak garden furniture sets that’s certainly what you’ll achieve.

•    It’s an extremely high quality hardwood. Not only does this give it a superior finish, but it also means it can be used for any type of furniture required, from garden coffee tables to hammock seats. It can stand up to an awful lot of use, and as this furniture is sure to be popular that can only be a good thing.

These are just a few reasons that teak is such a great material for garden furniture sets, and we think you’ll agree that it should be your only choice. If you need a bit more convincing, then make sure to have a look through our fantastic range of furniture here at Chic Teak. We’re confident that you’ll soon come around to our way of thinking.

Opting for teak garden furniture is a sure fire way to love your garden, and here at Chic Teak we have the best selection around. If you want quality pieces that are handcrafted to exacting standards, then you’ve come to the right place, and any one of our products will look simply stunning in your outdoor space.

Garden tables and chairs will probably be the first things on your list, but why not go all out and have the complete set? Garden parasols and umbrellas will always be needed during the summer months to provide some much-needed shade, and swing seats, hammocks, benches and even cushions can all add that little something extra, and will create some comfortable seating areas for your guests.

Best of all, teak is durable, stylish and can be used to create some truly stunning pieces of furniture, with plenty of options to suit all gardens no matter how big or small yours is. So, if you want to welcome in the season in style, make sure to invest in some new teak garden furniture (ideally from us here at Chic Teak) and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed.

Obviously, these properties make teak the ideal choice for outdoor garden table furniture. The same natural oils which help it to comfortably endure all that a tropical rain forest can throw at it mean that it is guaranteed to prosper in a residential garden. Naturally, teak garden furniture sets tend to have extremely long life spans. Because teak is so ideal for garden furniture sets, it is more expensive than other wooden garden furniture.

Despite its price, teak outdoor furniture will be the best long term investment that you will make, simply because it will last such a long time. You will notice that your furniture shows virtually no signs of wear and tear, even after many years of use. Other types of wooden garden accessories will usually begin to decay within a couple of years, forcing you to spend more money buying replacement sets. By purchasing outdoor teak furniture in the first place, you will actually be saving yourself time, money and inconvenience.

Our teak garden furniture sets are ideal. They are durable and splinter-free without sacrificing fashionability. They come in a range of different styles from simple and elegant to beautifully ornate to modern and funky.  We have folding teak garden tables that can be stowed away inside easily every night and extendable, modular garden furniture sets that can be added to when you need to cater for a big group.

If you have space out back, why not create a garden dining space? The open air is great for smokers and can help you along the way to a smoke free, family friendly atmosphere inside. You don’t even have to do any elaborate gardening – a few wooden planters filled with green foliage and bright flowers will do wonders for even the dullest concrete environment.

You can choose the garden furniture sets that are ideal for you. Our bar-style teak garden tables and teak bar stools are great for casual drinks and dinner and will save you space, while some generously sized teak outdoor garden tables would give you a great place for big groups, especially with some comfortable teak park benches to match.

We all have good intentions when it comes to taking care of our possessions, however at Chic Teak, we understand that outdoor teak garden furniture in your garden is not cleaned at the same frequency as the furniture in your house, so the garden furniture we provide needs to be long-lasting and make your life as easy as possible.

Teak contains a sufficient amount of natural oil which makes it resilient against most weather conditions so it can be left in your garden all months of the year. Our teak garden tables and chairs are naturally kiln dried which makes their life even longer, even in tough weather.

Obviously we cannot protect garden furniture and wooden garden accessories from dirt and grime, so by simply washing your teak garden furniture down with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, you will keep it looking good. It only needs to be washed every few months so it is not difficult. There may be some fading as natural wood does, however this only adds to the character of it.

Teak garden furniture is also really strong so is unlikely to get blown around your garden and damaged, making it a really easy yet stunning form of outdoor furniture to have in your home.

If you have plants in your garden then do your homework on what plants can survive a colder climate. Evergreen trees are always good, as are a few simple pots or hanging baskets as these can always be taken out of the garden if you are unable to grow anything in them.

Garden furniture sets are one thing that will not die in the winter months. Teak garden furniture is one of the strongest and most durable of outdoor furniture items as it is a natural product that can withstand colder weather.

At Chic Teak our teak garden furniture is top quality to ensure that it will last you a very long time. It is good to keep it clean, especially in the colder months, as a lot of dirt and rain water can fall onto your outdoor garden table furniture during this time

Keeping the rest of your garden table furniture clean during winter is also a good idea. If you get a fine day then give your patio area a sweep and wash as it is surprising how much grime is left from the weather.

Grass is harder to mow during winter as it is nearly always damp, if you can get a dry day then try to maintain it where possible so it is easier when the spring comes around.
