Choosing wooden garden furniture

Buying wooden garden furniture is a great investment for your home and garden as everyone loves doing nothing more than sitting out and enjoying the lovely weather, when we get it that is. Choosing wooden garden furniture should be considered just as important a buy as buying a bed or sofa for your living room as you will want to get as much use out of it as possible over the years.

Garden furniture should be like an extension of the interior of your home as it will probably be where you will be spending most of your summer days sitting with your friends and family. Wood is always a very popular material choice when buying garden furniture due to its classic appeal and understated elegance.

So what type of wood should you choose when buying furniture for your garden? Certainly, you could choose bamboo, cedar and mahogany but teak furniture may offer the same classic look with some added features. For instance, teak is a great wood able to resist damage caused by termites or fungi that would be readily found in a garden setting.  In addition, this wood requires less effort to maintain and keep it looking its very best due to its ability to be able to resist the elements. All it needs is a simple protective varnish once in a while to keep it at its best.

Once you have worked out what type of wood you are going to go for, next you need to decide on the size and style of the furniture set. Also, you will need to take factors such as the size of your garden or patio area into consideration too. If you have limited space, think about getting chairs and a table that are easily collapsible that can be folded up and stored away when they are not needed.
