Teak garden furniture better than acacia? Worth the extra money?
Question:
Answers:
Yes the cost is justified. Teak ages really well, the colour deepens and as long as you maintain it with oil it should last 20/30 years
Teak is supposed to be the best because of the natural oils contained in the wood act as a preserative,but you'll find that all wooden garden funiture will need topping up with oils once a year to keep them at their best.
So it's still down to which looks best.
Teak is among them most durable wood on earth. It is used to make decks on ships and boats because of this characteristic. You have to judge whether the high price is worth the durability based on how long you will use the furniture.
