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.

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.

Working in the UK leisure industry can have its ups and downs. Since the introduction of budget airlines offering cheap flights, it can be hard to compete with warmer destinations such as France and Spain, but as air travel starts to become more expensive again and the effects of the recession are still going strong, more and more people are opting for a ‘staycation’ and staying put. It’s never been a better time, therefore, to make sure that you have all the best facilities to make holidaymakers feel as if they’re not missing out by staying in the UK.

Although we complain about our weather, many areas of the UK are in fact blessed with some sunshine throughout the summer months, and so anyone in the leisure industry should make the most of their outside space with some outdoor furniture. It can be tempting to try and save money in this area, but for Brits in particular, it is essential to get quality furniture that will withstand exposure to bright sunshine and heavy downpours. This is why we specialise in teak furniture, which is the ideal choice for any furniture which is kept outside, such as pool loungers, tables and chairs.

Bar stools and tables which are kept outside are likely to get a lot of use, and so also need to be hardwearing and water-resistant. Here at Chic Teak, we provide quality furniture using high grade and responsibly sourced teak, and always at competitive prices.

Teak outdoor furniture is a wonderful addition to any garden. Indeed, the richness and quality of teak allows an outdoor space to enjoy a warmth, depth and style that radiates with elegance. Of course, when you purchase teak tables and chairs for your garden, you want them to last for a good long time. Therefore it is very important that you know exactly what to look for and how to care for them.

By far the easiest way to get the most out of teak outside furniture is to purchase only top-quality products that have been prepared for outdoor living. Here at Chic Teak, we understand that the British weather is less than helpful when it comes to caring for outdoor furniture and that is why our teak furniture is specially kiln dried to ensure it lasts longer. We also believe that prevention is better than cure, and therefore we make sure our teak products contain as little moisture as possible during the manufacturing process so that we can be confident they will not split, fade or warp as they encounter the seasons. Furthermore, we also make sure that we use only the thickest and most robust teak available so that our products are impressively strong and durable.

In fact, the only thing that you will need to do with teak chairs and tables bought from us here at Chic Teak is wash them down with a little soap and water a few times a year.

There are so many options when it comes to garden patios and patio accessories these days that practically any home is now able to enjoy the luxury of a patio area, regardless of its shape or size.

Of course, garden furniture plays a key role in setting the style of a patio. For example, the addition of coffee tables and small furniture items can be a great way to help people chill out and relax on their patio after hard day at work. Similarly, larger furniture items such as teak garden tables can help to create an outside dining area rather than a mere relaxation space.

Furthermore, other wooden furniture items such as teak garden benches can also bring something extra to a patio area. Indeed, wooden furniture is well-known for its durability so it will be sure to make an impression that lasts for a good long time.

In addition to furniture items and accessories; a few simple, yet effective, plants or ornaments can also help to give a patio space some unique character and charm. In fact, strategically placing shrubs next to tables and chairs really can help to make a patio feel more like an outside living room.

Here at Chic Teak, we have a wide range of outside wooden furniture products that are guaranteed to bring out the best in any patio or garden. Browse our pages further to find out more and view our outstanding products in greater detail.
