Teak outdoor furniture is reputed to last what might seem an astonishingly long time outside. Timespans of 25 years to 30 years are claimed and even those of more than twice that length – think British teak park benches as an example.
What’s important for maximum durability is to shop for premium grade teak taken from the heart of the tree. It is this that will deliver the longest of lifespans.
Warranties on top grade teak furniture are typically longer than those for other materials at three to five years in length, but check with the manufacturer before purchasing.
