In many ways, gardens are what you make of them. Whether you have acres of green space at your disposal or a small outdoor area, there are ways of making it look gorgeous.

For example, to add a sense of class and sophistication to your garden, you might want to consider investing in teak planters. Here at Chic Teak we offer a range of such items, meaning you should be able to find the perfect ones for you. They come in five sizes, varying from 45 x 45 centimetres to 85 x 85 centimetres.

These products can provide a sense of theatre to your outdoor area and are the perfect way to highlight plants and trees.

Planters are proving very popular in properties with a communal garden and where individual home owners want to plant their own things or grow something special. They are also popular with those living in big cities, such as London, where the home owner may have no garden, only a pathway in which planters can add colour to their home’s entrance.

Of course, to get optimum benefit from your planters, it’s important to think carefully about how best to use them.

Meanwhile, the great thing about the products is the fact that as well as serving to draw attention to particular plants, they look superb in their own right. They are crafted from the very best kiln-dried teak and are produced by highly-skilled craftsmen.

Our planters are also available with high-quality, heavy-duty liners made of galvanised steel. These are recommended as they keep the teak planter from discolouring quickly as the damp soil is kept off the wood. The liners also stop any over active roots damaging the wood or its joints and make potting simpler.

By investing in teak garden furniture such as tables and chairs as well, you can create a theme for your outdoor space, boosting the aesthetics even more. Also, we sell benches, loungers and other such items.

Teak is the ideal material for garden products because as well as looking superb, it is tough and will stand the test of time, meaning you shouldn’t have to worry about replacing any of the items for many years to come.

No doubt you want to make the most of your garden. Just like the rest of your property, it is a reflection of you and your fellow householders, so it’s important that the area looks the part.

By achieving this, you can rest assured that when guests come over to spend time with you in your outdoor space you will feel a real sense of pride and satisfaction. In contrast, if you are unhappy with your garden, you may be reluctant to use it with others, which would be a great shame.

Also, if this part of your home is a pleasure to look at and be in, you will be able to get more enjoyment from it yourself. On warm days, you can make the most of relaxing there and getting some fresh air.

One fantastic way to add style and class to your outdoor area is to invest in weathered teak sculptures. Here at Chic Teak, we are passionate about the material and, as well as offering a superb range of wooden garden furniture, we also sell a variety of artworks.

Available in three eye-catching sizes – medium, large and extra large – our sculptures are supplied with a heavyweight teak base for support for solid floor display or buried into the ground for garden display with a bed or within the lawn.

These items are the perfect way to pique the interest of guests and they can make a subtle yet significant difference to the way your garden appears.

By utilising teak garden tables, teak chairs and special sculptures crafted from the material, you can create harmony and beauty in your outdoor space. Of course, to ensure that the overall appearance is as good as possible, it’s also important to focus on the plants you have and the general arrangement of the area.

If you have not owned teak garden furniture, you may think that such items require oiling to keep them looking in superb condition. This is a popular idea among consumers in the UK and elsewhere. The prospect of having to engage in such activity may even have deterred you from getting products like this in the past because of concerns that too much work is required to maintain them.

However, the fact is, no such treatment is needed with high quality teak. The material has naturally high oil content and there is no reason to add to this yourself.

Indeed, here at Chic Teak we advise against oiling like this. Adding extra grease to the surface of your teak tree benches and other such items can make their surfaces sticky. This can result in them becoming strange to sit on and also means they are liable to trap more dust and dirt, which is something you are no doubt keen to avoid.

So, buying special expensive garden furniture teak oil and spending hours laboriously coating your teak garden furniture in an attempt to preserve the products is not only unnecessary, it can be counterproductive.

One of the best things about teak chairs, tables and other such offerings is the fact that they are so low-maintenance. Although it is a good idea to clean them occasionally and it may be beneficial to use covers during the winter, or to place the items in storage if this is possible, there is no need to engage in any other form of preservation.

The natural beauty of the items shines through all by itself, meaning virtually all you have to do is sit back and admire them.

We recommend the best course of action to retain your teak’s condition is to either scrub it all over with a brush and a solution of diluted bleach (please be careful of your eyes and clothes) or use a professional pressure washer.

At last, the worst of the winter is behind us and we can start to look forward to warmer weather. This time of year may be among your favourites. The days are getting longer and gradually the mercury in thermometers across the land is beginning to rise.

Whereas trying to spend time relaxing outdoors is largely pointless during the colder seasons, doing so during the spring and summer can be a real joy. OK, so we may not benefit from the most impressive weather in the world, but over coming months there are likely to be plenty of balmy days that are perfect for unwinding in your outdoor space.

With this in mind, you may wish to ensure you are fully prepared for the nicer conditions. For example, it might be a great idea to invest in some of the wooden garden furniture we sell here at Chic Teak. We are passionate about all things teak and offer a variety of products.

By perusing our items, you should find the perfect ones for your outdoor space.

When it comes to de-stressing, there is nothing better than reclining on your very own garden sun loungers. Being able to lie in your outdoor space and soak up the soothing rays of the sun can help to clear your mind and bring some calm back to your being.

Whether you simply bask in the warm sun, read a book, listen to music, fall asleep or anything else, there is no better way to spend a lazy day, or even a short post-work time out.

Like many people, you might like nothing better than having guests over to your home. There is no better way to spend time than entertaining friends and family.

One great way to do this is to wine and dine them outdoors. As long as the weather is suitable, getting some fresh air and eating and drinking alfresco can be ideal. Of course, to ensure that the experience is spot on, it’s important that your garden is suitably equipped.

Throwing together some mismatched plastic chairs and cheap looking tables may not instil in you the sense of pride and satisfaction you are looking for.

On the other hand, if you have a set of gorgeous teak garden furniture, you might feel much more confident about leading your guests out into your outdoor area. Items like this are perfect. The natural colour of the wood gives it a luxurious feel and it can really boost the aesthetics of your garden. Setting places on your teak tables can be a true pleasure and the results look stunning.

Here at Chic Teak we are fully aware of the potential of the material to make superb entertaining aids. That’s why we sell a range of stunning sets. Whether you want a small two-seater folding set, a more elaborate ten-seater version or anything in between, we should be able to help.

Alternatively if you don’t want a ready compiled set choose from our extensive range of tables and chairs, mix and match and compile your own set specifically for your needs. And the admiring looks on your guests’ faces as they relax on these gorgeous products will say it all.

If you have moved into a house where the garden has been neglected, now is the time to start planning a renovation. When you look outside now, it’s probably hard to imagine how the garden will look once you have had the work done, either by yourself or by hiring the services of a landscape professional.

Don’t worry about that. It’s the time of year when everything looks bleak outside, but within a couple of months the better weather will be here and you’ll have a clearer picture of what to expect.

This is something which is usually lower down the list of things to do when you move into a new home. You have to concentrate on getting everything right inside the property before you begin to think about the task of restoring a garden to its former glory, so when you are happy with the interior you can start planning the exterior. Maybe a couple of teak benches or tables could really work well.

If your budget allows it, it’s probably best to have a landscape gardener to carry out the work. This way you will know that the finished job will be perfect and it also means that you aren’t spending every spare hour doing the back-breaking work!

Instead, you can start planning how the garden will look when it is finished. Here at Chic Teak we can offer a great range of wooden garden furniture which will give the finishing touch. So if you want the best in garden tables, garden loungers and other products start your search right here!

When it comes to choosing wooden garden tables, there is a huge range available these days. The furniture you eventually select to enhance your garden will depend on the budget you have available and many people look on this as a kind of investment.

If you decide to spend less on tables and other items for the garden you may end up paying twice due to the poor quality of the materials used in the construction. Within a couple of years the inevitable signs of wear and tear will begin to show which means you will have to replace them.

This is where the investment element comes in. If you decide to buy teak garden furniture you can be sure that it is probably the last time you will have to pay out for the tables and chairs which you use outdoors during the summer.

Teak is hard wearing and durable, so you will find that even after ten or twenty years the teak tree seats or whatever kind of furniture you have bought looks as good as the day you brought it home. In fact, it may even look better!

Over time, the teak will take on a lovely effect, and although some people do treat outdoor furniture with teak oil or other preservatives, this is not needed to protect the wood. Nature has taken care of that, so the only reason to apply preservatives of any kind is for aesthetic purposes.

If you are thinking of building a patio in your garden, there are a couple of things you should consider before you rush into it. As with everything in life, planning is the key so make sure you give plenty of thought about how you want your patio to look and you’ll end up with a new place to relax which is the envy of your friends.

The first thing is to decide what type of style you’d like your patio to have. There are a variety of ways to design a patio, from open and airy to a secluded look. Each style comes with its own set of pros and cons, so it’s a good idea to look at a few different patios before making your decision.

Choosing the right patio furniture is also important. Once you have completed the work – whether you do it yourself or bring in a professional to do the job – you can spend some time looking at what Chic Teak can offer. We have a great range of wooden garden furniture in many different styles, one of which is sure to give the perfect finishing touch.

Garden loungers are ideal for spending a relaxing couple of hours on your new patio, and you will find some great deals when you look at our website. Teak sun loungers are always popular as they are long lasting and remain looking great for many years, so have a look, make your choice and look forward to a relaxing summer!

Whatever you are looking for to enhance your garden or patio, you are sure to find it here on the Chic Teak website. We have built an enviable reputation for supplying high quality, superbly crafted pieces of furniture for the outdoors, including teak banana benches which are sure to give the finishing touch to your garden.

These are also known as peanut benches – their name comes from the curved shape they have – but whichever description you use, these teak peanut benches are perfect for the garden. Not only are they very comfortable to sit on, the fact that they are made from teak means they will last you a lifetime.

It’s worth bearing this in mind if you are looking for patio furniture, because many people make the mistake of spending as little as possible on outdoor furniture. This is often a false economy because the fact that they are cheaper means that the materials used in their construction will not last.

Consequently, you will have to replace the furniture within a couple of years when it begins to look worn out, or pieces break off. This is not the case when you opt for teak furniture. The wood used is hard wearing and able to withstand both the knocks it will take and the effect of the elements.

Wind, rain and sunlight all have an effect on outdoor furniture, so remember this when you look at the great range of teak furniture right here on our website.
