Teak Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture such as teak garden benches and teak chairs may prove to be initially expensive; but should turn out to be an investment in the longer term. Instead of replacing outdoor furniture every year or so, a one time investment in teak furniture saves money over the years. There are some teak park benches in European cities that date back more than 100 years!

Tectona Grandis, the Latin name for teak, is said to be indigenous to India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina and Java. It has been extensively planted for timber or as an ornamental within its natural range and throughout the tropical regions of the world, including East and West Africa, as well as Cuba and the Caribbean, and South America from Panama to Brazil.

Teak is a very beautiful and durable type of wood, making it highly sought after. It takes about twenty years to plant and harvest a teak tree which makes it possible to sustain the production of teak. There are many teak farming schemes all around the world, helping local economies and taking the pressure off of the rain forests.
