The entertainment world has moved outdoors…to decks and gardens. Naturally, most homeowners and formal designers are using teak deck furniture to provide the accent and functionality to the decks. While some decks are interesting by themselves, most decks are rather sterile without placing some carefully selected and interestingly designed furniture pieces.

Teak deck furniture comes in several designs each of which are meant to accessorize the deck while providing function and utility. Teak furniture is often chosen because of its durability and low maintenance. Teak wood is well suited to outdoor applications because the teak oil in the wood, even after it is dried and made into furniture, protects the wood for years and years. Teak does not splinter and will not rot. In addition, teak can be either allowed to weather to a grey patina finish or it can be sealed where the natural wood coloring and grain will be seen for years to come. It is purely a design decision by the discriminating owner.

Teak deck furniture is a bit more expensive than other high quality deck furniture but when viewed from the overall cost of ownership is really quite reasonable considering that teak deck furniture will last for years and years. Some have reported that teak wood that is kept outdoors will last a minimum of 75 years. We have seen examples in Thailand, where our teak wood is harvested and our teak deck furniture is manufactured, that have lasted outdoors for centuries.

The advantage of teak deck furniture is that the deck arrangement can be changed as the owner wishes. Each week there are different entertainment demands that you must react to. Teak garden furniture can be mixed and matched including teak benches, teak chairs, teak coffee tables, teak end tables, teak dining tables, and teak umbrella tables, depending on the requirements of the occasion.
