Teak patio furniture is among the most durable outdoor furniture made from natural materials. Teak is native to Asia with most of today’s teak coming from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). As such a hard wood that will withstand the elements, teak has become a favorite material for outdoor furniture.
As a yellowish brown wood, teak also has a great texture and good grain lines making it easy to stain in a variety of shades for outdoor use. In fact, boats and boat decks which are constantly in or near the water are often made of teak, since it does not rot even where joined with metal screws or bolts. Teak is waterproof. For that reason alone, teak patio furniture can be considered an investment.
With all the benefits of teak wood, it must be noted that in comparison to other wood outdoor furniture, teak patio sets or garden furniture is not cheap.

Teak furniture, even left outdoors year round, can be expected to serve well for 50 years or longer. Again, this is an investment.

When it comes to teak patio tables, this is one of the best selections. Teak patio furniture has been an all time favorite for years, because of its longevity. In fact, the teak furniture we put on our patio could outlast us. That’s true! Many teak outdoor pieces have a life span of 50 years. [...]
