Teak deck furniture will withstand the elements like no other material. Let's face it; almost every other material has its downfall. Metal gets too hot in the sun and sometimes rusts. Plastic is tacky and can blow away in the wind.

Other types of wood may be attractive at first glance, but put them under a week of rain, and watch the sad deterioration begin. Unfortunately, most "bargain" outdoor furniture is made from soft woods which, when exposed to moisture, absorb water and immediately begin to rot.

Why Teak Deck Furniture?

Other types of hardwood garden furniture are more substantial, but they still can't hold up to the elements for very long before they start to warp. Some can't be placed directly on the lawn or they'll begin to rot! Others are susceptible to termite infestation.

If you love wooden patio furniture, teak deck furniture is the way to go. Teak has the best reputation as the most solid, substantial, waterproof and weather-resistant wood in the world. Hundreds of years of teak craftsmanship bear this out, from shipbuilding to exquisite indoor furniture to ever-popular teak deck furniture.
