Where do you begin to look for that new patio furniture set? Do you head on over to your local big box mega store and buy the cheapest set you can find. Do you want something that will really last and is very attractive. Have you thought about teak wood patio furniture? It is both beautiful and durable. A high-quality product designed to last a lifetime, teak wood patio furniture is a great choice for most families-even if it is a bit on the pricey side.

If you have recently fallen head over heals in love for teak wood patio furniture, you are not alone. Thousands of people each year fall in love with this beautiful outdoor furniture. Sometimes, after they find out just how expensive new teak wood patio furniture can be they can fall quickly out of love-and usually do!

There is a saying: "you can't rush quality." That statement alone describes teak wood! Teak wood is a high-demand product of a limited supply. Since it takes teak wood approximately 50 to 60 years to grow into maturity, it can be expensive. However, because this is a high-demand product that takes such a long time to grow, the governments in which they are grown-Thailand, India, Indonesia and Burma-have instituted regulations to protect the wood from being cut down too quickly. These governments are also shortening the growth cycle from 50 to 60 years to 25 years. This, however, comes at a price-sacrificed quality.

Though teak wood patio furniture can be expensive, it can last approximately 75 years. When you divide the total cost by the life of the furniture, you end up with one amazing deal. Teak patio furniture is long lasting, high quality and durable. Remember, if you buy cheap, you will get cheap. Do not settle for less than high-quality outdoor furniture made of teak.

Teak wood has natural oils that make it suitable for use in exposed locations, where it is durable even when not treated with oil or varnish. Teak wood cut from old trees grown slowly in natural forests is more durable and harder. Teak wood is very resistant to the attack of termites as well. Teak wood from young trees grown in plantations is more prone to splitting and water damage.

Teak wood will offer a luxurious touch to your patio. This is really the best way to impress your friends and family, by displaying your beautiful outdoor teak wood collections.
