Wood garden furniture offers natural charm that fits beautifully into any landscape, yet can be vulnerable to weather damage, necessitating regular maintenance to avoid rot or insect infestation.
Teak

Like fine wine, premium teak naturally ages with time. Starting out as warm golden hued wood, as its oils begin to dry out from sunlight exposure it gradually fades to become silvery grey in tone over time. Those who wish to maintain its golden hue with regular applications of sealer.
Teak offers superior weather resistance, but its natural oils and resins also prevent mold and mildew growth, making it a low-maintenance choice for living in dusty or humid climates. When cleaning teak it is important not to over-clean as this could remove its protective oils, making it susceptible to damage, mold or mildew growth.
Maintain the golden color and protect against moisture with teak sealer two to three times each year to preserve premium teak furniture. It can help prevent cracking or splitting over time.
If you live in an especially windy area, we advise covering your furniture with tarps or moving it indoors during winter to reduce dust and debris build-up on it. A gazebo provides additional weatherproof protection while creating an eye-catching focal point in your garden.
Pine
Lawn garden furniture may seem like an afterthought in home design, but it can make all the difference in turning an otherwise bare outdoor area into an inviting living area that acts as an extension of living spaces. One effective way of making lawn or rattan garden furniture sets look elegant is placing them within a gazebo.
Though placing lawn garden furniture directly onto grass may seem like an appealing choice, doing so may damage both the grass and wear away at the furniture over time. This is particularly true of heavy pieces like pine yard swings that must be moved on a daily basis.
Patios provide the ideal setting for lawn garden furniture as they will protect it from harsh weather conditions and sunrays that could otherwise cause irreparable damage to its furnishings. Furthermore, they will keep moisture at bay that could otherwise lead to mould or rot forming and potentially affect wooden rattan garden furniture that’s especially susceptible.
Other Woods
As a woodworker or DIY garden furniture maker, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as working with quality timber. However, durable lumber doesn’t only feature hard and strong properties – it also can protect itself against decay caused by moisture-driven fungi growth as well as termite infestation.
As such, DIY garden furniture enthusiasts often opt for fir. This relatively affordable species of wood is both strong and long-wearing, easily being machined with tools or painted. Plus, its beautiful golden medium brown tone stands out among all others in your garden furniture set! However, like teak it requires regular protective treatments as it’s more costly.
There is an array of wood oils on the market, all providing high resistance against elements and easy application. Most are composed of natural products like raw linseed or teak oil and can help achieve an ideal appearance on garden furniture as well as provide protection from water infiltration that may lead to rot and mold growth.
