How to Update Your Garden

July 11th, 2010

If you want your garden to stay looking great, it’s always going to be necessary to update it every now and again. And not just adding a few new plants here and there – updating your garden furniture sets and accessories could be all you need, to breathe a new lease of life into your outdoor space.

One of the first things you should do is update your table and chairs. It’s out with the old and in with the new, and if you’ve been used to plastic patio furniture then why not consider upgrading to wood? Wooden garden furniture will give your whole garden a completely new look, and create a much better impression. Not only does it look great but it’s also incredibly durable and hardwearing as well.

But, if you really want to give your garden a makeover, it doesn’t stop there. Consider the other accessories as well, such as loungers, wooden planters, hammocks, cushions, coffee tables and even reclining garden chairs, for the ultimate way to relax. Any one of these can be the perfect way to update your garden, and if you choose wisely you’ll be able to coordinate your pieces to create a stunning overall look.

Here at Chic Teak, we’ve got just what you need to keep your garden looking great all year round. If it needs a bit of a pick me up, then make sure to check out our stunning range of wooden garden furniture sets and accessories, and look forward to some admiring glances from the neighbours.

What Makes Teak Such Great Garden Furniture?

July 8th, 2010

There are plenty of different types of wood you could use for garden furniture sets, but here at Chic Teak we think that, unsurprisingly, teak is the only option. But just what makes teak such a great material for this type of furniture?

•    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.

Garden Swing

June 30th, 2010

Wooden garden furniture offers many ways to enjoy your garden, but few are more satisfying than peacefully rocking in an outdoor swing seat. Garden swing seats are the single most relaxing addition to any wooden garden furniture set, as they can transport you to instant happiness in a moment. There really is no better way to appreciate the beauty of nature and the habits of wildlife than from the comfort of garden swing seats. Whether you are reading a book, enjoying a little doze or just observing the scenery, a swing seat is the perfect place to forget all of your worries. What could be better than sipping a refreshing drink outdoors while peacefully rocking back and forth?

However, there are problems with . There are times when bright sunshine or, more likely, sudden rain showers cut your relaxing swing times short. It can also be a bit of a chore having to wipe down your swing seat before you can use it for fear of sitting in bird droppings or raind drops. The solution to these small but significant problems is a swing seat with a canopy. The canopy material overhead provides ample protection from strong sunshine or any sudden showers from out of the blue. Instead of having to retreat indoors and observe nature from your window, a canopy swing seat allows you to relax and swing, no matter what the weather brings.
