Undoubtedly teak garden furniture is the most popular wooden furnishings for any outdoor locations because of its beauty, resistance to weather and strength. All of these attributes of teak garden furniture are in part due to the natural teak oils which deter insects and prevent rot. Teak garden furniture is made from a tropical hard wood tree called tectona grandis which grows to about thirty metres in height in Africa, India, Thailand and Malaysia. Used for centuries for shipbuilding, this wood makes teak garden furniture as rugged and long lasting as the boats that formerly sailed around the world.
With proper care, the wood will last almost indefinitely, making teak garden furniture an excellent investment even though its initial cost may be higher than other outdoor furniture that will last only a season or two. Teak garden furniture is made from wood that is grown on managed plantations so there is no threat to the environment.
