Not only are teak chairs are incredibly aesthetically appealing, they are also quite durable. In fact, teak furniture can last for more than a century. This longevity is due mainly to the fact that teak furniture resists weathering very well and also holds up great against rot and pests. Furniture made from teak does not easily split or warp due to elemental exposure, as other woods are known to do. In fact, teak can even endure sea water!
Teak’s durability is mostly due to the natural oils it produces to withstand the elements. Because of these oils, teak is incredibly resistant to weathering over the years. Also, the resins this wood produces naturally actually repels termites and other similar insects which feed on wood. These resins also help the wood to resist moisture. These resistances prolong the life of teak furniture, and teak chairs can actually be used for years and years without any sort of finish.
Teak chairs are a smart and gorgeous investment and the perfect addition to any backyard.
So long as you apply teak oil to the teak chairs every once in awhile, they should be able to last almost a lifetime!
