Beat The Weather With Outdoor Teak Furniture

by Bonnie Cruz

When it comes to furnishing your outdoor spaces, the weather is a big deterrent. It can damage your fixtures or simply make them unusable just when you want to go out and enjoy the breeze. However, you can beat the odds by simply selecting teak furniture for your stools, benches, chairs, umbrella stands, dining tables, pool-side seating and other furniture pieces you may need. Read on to see why.

Durable in the outdoors

Teak furniture is widely recognized for its high durability when exposed to the elements. It can withstand the heat of the sun without cracking or fading due to the effects of the UV rays. When it comes to rain, teak furniture has a very low absorption rate which keeps your outdoor furniture from warping or bending. Outdoor teak is also designed with large gaps between wood pieces to allow water drainage so that your furniture dries quickly. It's long lasting and can survive many decades of outdoor placement, giving you maximum value for your investment.

Cheap to maintain

Of all the furniture you may have at home, teak is the least expensive to maintain. You barely have to do anything to it to preserve its pristine condition. There's no need to cover it when not in use or transfer it to areas with a roof during rainy seasons. Basically, your outdoor teak furniture can stay set and arranged right where you want it 24/7. The only maintenance you may have to do is apply teak sealer/coat every one or two years. This sealer reduces heat penetration and keeps mold and parasites out. It's also great for old teak furniture that needs to be restored.

Adds class to your outdoor areas

Not everyone has teak in their backyards or front porches. The reason for this is that teak furniture is more expensive than other wood types. Of course, the reason for this is evident due to its strong structural strength and excellent outdoor capabilities. The exclusivity of teak furniture therefore tends to add value to your outdoor spaces. This makes teak ideal for areas such as patios, gardens and gazebos. These are areas that already stand out in your home but can look even more sophisticated with the addition or teak furniture.

Once you have purchased your ideal outdoor teak furniture, you can use staining sealers to accentuate your furniture by giving it different color shades to match with your outdoor setting. This will ensure that your teak not only serves you well, but also looks good too. For more information, contact a company like The Teak Place.
