Why Teak?

Teak is a yellowish/brown wood with very good grains and texture. It comes from several different parts of the world, and is frequently harvested from specially designed plantation estates. Many of the indigenous locations of teak are exotic rain forests, where it has to withstand a consistently hostile tropical climate. Teak wood is one of the strongest types of wood, as it naturally contains oils which enable it to withstand even the most hazardous weather conditions, as well as fight off rot, mould and insects.

Obviously, these properties make teak the ideal choice for outdoor garden table furniture. The same natural oils which help it to comfortably endure all that a tropical rain forest can throw at it mean that it is guaranteed to prosper in a residential garden. Naturally, teak garden furniture sets tend to have extremely long life spans. Because teak is so ideal for garden furniture sets, it is more expensive than other wooden garden furniture.

Despite its price, teak outdoor furniture will be the best long term investment that you will make, simply because it will last such a long time. You will notice that your furniture shows virtually no signs of wear and tear, even after many years of use. Other types of wooden garden accessories will usually begin to decay within a couple of years, forcing you to spend more money buying replacement sets. By purchasing outdoor teak furniture in the first place, you will actually be saving yourself time, money and inconvenience.
