Teak Patio Furniture

Teak is the quintessential quality outdoor wood and teak patio furniture is ideal for the family that wants to combine indoor style with outdoor durability. The teak tree is native to India, and it is also found in Indonesia and Africa. It is a resinous, hard wood that is naturally weather and insect resistant. It usually is found in a light or tawny brown, but if left unfinished, teak turns into a soft, dove-like gray color that gives a dramatic touch to your teak patio furniture.

A teak patio furniture set consists of the same pieces as any other patio set; a circular table with a place for an umbrella and matching chairs, chaise lounges for sunbathing and picnic choices. You might also opt to add a bench to your teak patio furniture, or a banana shaped bench with tapered sides for an exotic touch. Your teak patio furniture can be used by itself or can be covered with colorful cushions that reflect the style of your patio.

If you prefer more unusual teak patio furniture, try an octagonal teak table with small four small seats connected at each corner. This table seats eight people and has a striking design. Sunbathe with a friend in your teak double chaise lounge with adjustable height. You can also purchase charming love seats with dramatic curves and two seats connected in something like an embrace. If more guests arrive then expected, bring out some teak fold out rectangular tables and chairs. You might want to furnish an entire side with teak benches that can also serve double duty as ledges. Teak patio furniture is as durable as it is beautiful and can survive spills and stains with no damage. You can decorate your patio with teak plant stands and even use a teak cabinet or chest to store your gardening and barbecue supplies.
