Types of Garden Furniture You Need to Consider

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Everyone puts a great deal of thought into furnishing their home, but they often overlook the garden. This can be a huge mistake, as a perfectly designed garden can really add a sense of style, and here at Chic Teak we understand that. That’s why we have a fantastic range of garden furniture sets and accessories, and here are just a few of the options to whet your appetite.

•    Teak garden furniture. Teak is a stunning wood and its properties (durability, hard wearing, great looks…) make it the ideal material for garden furniture, and it should definitely be considered if you really want to make a statement in your garden.

•    Coffee tables. These add some much-needed surface space without having to take up so much room as a bigger table, so are perfect if you’ve got a smaller garden or even if you’ve just got one or two people coming over for a catch up.

•    Wooden swing seats/hammocks/cushions. These offer a great alternative to traditional chairs and are sure to be noticed, creating a real talking point and adding something different and unique to your garden.

•    Reclining wooden chairs. Reclining chairs are the ultimate way to relax, and being made of wood makes them even more sought after. Make them comfier still with accompanying cushions, and enjoy the sunshine throughout the summer.

These are just a few types of garden furniture that you always need to consider, and there are many more besides. Here at Chic Teak we stock all of these options and more, so whether you’re after teak garden furniture or just about anything else make sure to see what we can offer.

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.

Types of Garden Benches

Friday, June 11th, 2010

One of the chief benefits of a garden is being able to comfortably enjoy the outdoors with that special someone. Nothing is more suitable for this purpose than a garden bench. Some benches are included when you purchase garden furniture sets, but many people buy them separately. Benches are typically made from either wood, metal or stone:

Wood
Like most wooden garden furniture, wooden benches naturally look like they belong in any garden. Teak garden benches tend to be very popular as the wood will last a long time; Teak is renowned for being weather resistant, and will stand up well to any extremes of rain, hail, ice and heat.

Metal
Metal garden benches can be made of aluminium or iron, and can be painted to blend in more naturally to your garden. Metal benches can be made weather-resistant by applying a coat of anti-rusting agent to the top of the metal surfaces. This is an easy way to ensure that it will always look great, and last a good long time.

Stone
Stone benches are resistant to all weather and will last a long, long time. Although uncommon, it is possible to paint a stone bench if you need it to match the predominant colour scheme of your garden. If you purchase a stone bench from a manufacturer, you can sometimes ask to have something special engraved within the stone, such as family names or dates of special occasions.
