Furniture: Teak Garden Furniture
admin
Teak garden furniture has a light brownish tan color. Although not all of the pictures of the teak furniture on the internet may not seem consistent, rest assured that teak tends to be brownish. Pieces usually come unfinished, leaving it up to the purchaser to coat it with oil or not.
Weathering of Teak Garden Furniture
The degree of weathering depends on the type of environment teak is exposed too. In a dry climate, all wood, including teak, will require significant oil replenishment. You can easily purchase teak oil as it is sold in almost every garden furniture store.
In a very humid climate or wet climate, the teak may shrink and swell, and ultimately checking will occur. Since structural integrity is the critical factor, it is worth protecting the internal structure of your furniture so it will give you years of use. You can do this by simply coating your furniture in teak oil.
Wood is a natural resource and will change with exposure to the elements. Owners of teak garden furniture are therefore strongly urged to take a extra time to protect their investment. With seasonal maintenance, your garden furniture will keep its beautiful and interesting grain and coloring.
