Why it’s safe to leave your solid teak furniture outside in the winter

Of course, we would recommend that you do not leave solid teak garden furniture in a particularly damp area that does not have much exposure to natural light - as this won’t do any type of furniture any good, no matter how high-quality it may be.

However, garden furniture that is made using this particular type of timber is a more trusted material when it comes to maintaining premium quality, simply because it’s naturally resistant to a variety of harmful elements that would cause the average garden furniture set to break and/or succumb to the elements.

Here are the main reasons why solid teak is a trusted garden furniture material that can be used for all year round use:

> High-quality teak wood is renowned for being incredibly strong and durable. In fact, it’s so reliable that it’s also used as a popular option for hardwood flooring.

> Solid teak has a naturally tight wood grain, which not only is a reliable indicator of overall integrity and strength.

> Solid teak has a naturally high oil content. This helps to protect furniture from harmful elements such as UV rays, humidity and heavy downpours.

> Solid teak is one of the strongest hardwoods used to make outdoor furniture.

> Solid teak is naturally water-resistant, fungi-resistant, and insect resistant.

> Solid teak maintains its beauty no matter how many years go by. It has a lovely natural honey golden colour that will last for many years, and if you choose to leave it untreated, furniture made from this timber will turn into a gorgeous silver-tone (if you would prefer to maintain the honey golden colour, you can easily do so with a great solid teak care kit).
