Why is Teakwood the Best Choice for your Outdoor Furniture?

I was anxious to write this article because Teakwood is by far my personal favorite style of outdoor furniture. And I love getting this chance to discuss all of its wonderful and even amazing characteristics.

What is teak wood and why is it such a great wood for outdoor furniture?
Teakwood is a hardwood that comes from the Tectona Grandis tree that grows both in the wild and in cultivation in southeast Asia. It has beautiful golden brown colorations and a striking grain. Due to its high rubber and oil content it can be built into furniture, left completely outside in the elements and never rot! So with its beautiful colors and grains, and built into beautiful furniture that is impervious to the weather elements, its no wonder its such a popular style furniture and again my personal favorite.

HAMBRICK TEAKWOOD FURNITURE BY NORTHCAPE INTERNATIONAL

The Hambrick Collection features artisan craftsmanship in 100% solid, plantation-grown teak hardwood.

Hardware is zinc-coated steel that has been plated in brass. The zinc helps minimize corrosion, steel was chosen for strength, and brass for its luster.
