If you want beautiful outdoor patio furniture, you want Grade-A Tectona Grandis teak wood. Let me give two reasons why this is the best choice for outdoor wood furniture.
Teak is Exceptionally Durable: One of the most commonly quoted facts about teak wood is its natural durability qualities. It is naturally resistant to rot caused by fungal decay and has a high level of resinous oil in its timbers that act as a natural insect repellent. This gives the wood a very high resistance to attack by termites and other wood boring insects.
Centuries ago teak was the choice wood to make the decks and benches of ships from, because it was so durable and weather resistant. When the ships were no longer seaworthy and about to be scrapped, the teak wood was recycled and made into outdoor furniture because it was still in such good condition! And it's been the choice wood for outdoor furniture ever since.
You'll see teak steamers and loungers poolside at resorts, teak dining tables at ski resorts, and teak benches at public parks, some of which are nearly a century old!
