Teak wood patio furniture is probably the best type of patio furniture you can get due to its style, durability and long lasting life.
Teak has a yellowish brown color and has good grains and texture, making it weather resistant.
Did you know that teak takes about 60 - 70 years to grow?
This is the reason why the governments like Asia, Bangladesh and Thailand are so strict about the amount of wood exported to other countries to produce beautiful furniture.
They are rather large trees, growing 30 - 40 meters tall.
Teak is rather an expensive type of wood due to the many advantages. So if you are purchasing teak furniture and you see the price is too good to be true, be sure that it is made from the younger teak trees, which for some reason do not offer the same quality. The older the tree is the more durable and weather resistant it is.
Always ask what grade of wood you are buying before. The lower grades will be susceptible to rotting and water damage as the woods natural protective oils are not as present.
There are many different types of teak wood patio furniture to choose from such as; tables, storage boxes, patio bars, patio living sets and a few more I will list below:
Teak wood patio furniture does not need any maintenance or special care but to ensure its long lasting life the only maintenance recommended is an occasional cleansing with a soft bristle brush, mild detergent and water blend.
If you prefer the warm, rich, wood tones of natural teak, or would like to revive existing weathered teak to a new condition, then we suggest a Teak Cleaner and Teak Protector. Teak protectors restore weathered teak to its original color.
Some furniture is unfinished and has the natural color of teak and some are finished with oil which gives the teak furniture a bright silky color.
So if you are looking to purchase new patio furniture, teak wood patio furniture will be the best option because it will last you a life time and save you lots of money for years to come.
