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.

Banana (sometimes also called peanut) benches require far more skill and time to make than everyday rectangular benches but if you take the time to look through our range we’re sure you’ll agree that the results are more than worth a little extra effort and expertise. Our teak banana benches have a graceful curve to the back of the bench and also to the cross-section as seen from above.

We haven’t just chosen this shape because it’s something a little different from every other piece of wooden garden furniture, although that is also true. The banana backrest that slopes gently down towards the ends provides comfort both for the sitter’s back and for the arm resting on the side. It’s a soft yet chunky, visually appealing design that fits beautifully into nooks and corners in the garden without wasting space or disturbing the eye.

Teak banana benches are ideal for romance or just for cosy conversations. They make efficient use of the space in smaller gardens and can make a stunning but understated feature when combined with ornamental trailing plants like weeping willow, cherry, or wisteria, especially when the latter are in full flower.

We have a range of chairs and tables to match our banana benches so you can create a larger casual dining setting with ease, and there are also nine more styles of garden benches on offer at Chic Teak. We’re sure you’ll find something to suit your exact requirements or simply catch your eye with an appealing design.

If you feel incredibly inadequate because you cannot think of what to give a man for a present –don’t!! You must think outside the box and think of things that he would not buy for himself. Most men only think of others, are incredibly selfless and generous. Now is the time to repay the years of this generosity by spoiling him!!
On his patio or terrace he will have bought his wife pool loungers, a garden lounger and even a teak
steamer. She will have had many years of pleasure from these items without even giving a thought to the sacrifice that was made to give her this pleasure.
Will there be bar chairs or bar stools for him? – of course not!! So the first opportunity for that present is to buy him a garden bar together with some bar stools or bar chairs that will match them so well. Think of the pleasure he will have leaning back in very comfortable bar stool and savouring a pint of his favourite beer!
He is probably a very keen gardener but would not dream of buying himself some tree seats or tree benches to go around his favourite trees which have been planted lovingly over many decades. He has devoted so many years to making the garden the blissful haven that it is, surely now is the time to reward his hard work.
Maybe it is a very special occasion that the present is to celebrate. In which case why not consider some teak banana benches or peanut benches that can be embellished with memorial plaques to celebrate the occasion.
If you choose one of these suggestions you can be assured that he will be really pleased to receive them. He probably won’t have them already, but even if he has you can never own too much outdoor furniture. Quality garden furniture will last any one that owns it a lifetime, so don’t hold back, put your hand in your pocket and solve the problem, you will never regret it and will have a avery grateful man!!
