FAQ
What makes teak such a popular material for garden seating?
Teak is renowned for its exceptional durability and natural weather resistance. This hardwood contains natural oils and rubber that make it incredibly resilient to outdoor conditions, allowing teak garden benches to remain outside all year round without significant deterioration. Unlike many other woods, teak can withstand rain, sun, and frost, making it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture in the unpredictable British climate.
How long can I expect a high-quality teak garden bench to last?
A well-crafted teak bench can last decades with minimal maintenance. Grade-A teak benches, particularly those using tight-fitting mortise and tenon joints, are guaranteed extreme durability.
With proper care, these benches can easily provide fruitful use for 20-30 years, making them an excellent long-term investment for larger gardens or public spaces. The natural properties of teak help prevent moisture damage and resist decay, ensuring longevity even when exposed to the elements.
Do these garden benches require a lot of maintenance?
One of the most attractive features of teak garden benches is that they require minimal maintenance. Unlike many other outdoor furniture materials, teak develops a beautiful silvery-grey patina over time when left untreated. If you prefer to maintain its original golden-brown colour, you can apply teak oil occasionally.
However, this is entirely optional – the bench will remain structurally sound and attractive whether you choose to treat it or not. Simply cleaning the bench with a soft brush occasionally is typically all the maintenance required to keep it looking its best.
