Teak garden furniture has always been a favorite with those who don’t have to worry too much about their budget.

Then there are various hardwoods on the market today, they can last just as long as teak if they are cared for properly which normally means a simple oil treatment once a year to keep them protected and looking like new. Hardwood garden furniture is available in the same plentiful range as teak – benches, side tables and chairs in hardwood add to the feeling of any garden.
Wicker garden furniture is still as popular today as it’s always been and for a very good reason. Garden furniture made from wicker is extremely tough and is now available in a synthetic finish as well making it a lot easier to look after. Whether you choose the natural Wicker or the synthetic type be sure that the weave is tight, a loose weave will very quickly lose its shape and sag this can make it quite uncomfortable. Wicker furniture can add that touch of the Mediterranean to any garden or patio.
For those that are on a budget then plastic is the obvious choice, although this material may not have the same eye-pleasing qualities that wood furniture affords its still possible to choose plastic garden furniture that looks good and will last a very long time.
