Frequently Asked Questions*

What types of wood are best for garden furniture?

Teak is the premium choice, offering exceptional durability and weather resistance with minimal maintenance. Teak can last 20-30+ years with appropriate care. Hardwood (acacia, eucalyptus) provides excellent durability at lower cost but needs annual oiling. Softwood (pine, spruce) is affordable but requires regular treatment every 6-12 months. Quality matters more than wood type—premium teak and hardwood from brands like Jati & Kebon outperform lower-quality alternatives.

How long does wooden garden furniture last?

Expected lifespan varies by wood type and maintenance. Teak can last 20-30+ years with appropriate maintenance. Hardwood (acacia, eucalyptus) typically lasts 10-15 years with annual oiling. Softwood can last 5-10 years with regular treatment and protection. Actual longevity depends on wood quality, maintenance practices, weather exposure, and usage conditions. Using breathable covers during winter extends lifespan regardless of wood type.

Does wooden furniture need to be treated or oiled?

Treatment needs vary by wood type. Teak doesn't require treatment—it naturally weathers to silver-grey patina. Apply teak oil annually if you prefer to maintain golden colour. Hardwood (acacia, eucalyptus) needs annual oiling to prevent cracking and maintain colour. Softwood requires treatment every 6-12 months with wood preservative or paint. Regular treatment prevents deterioration and extends furniture life significantly.

What is teak patina and can I prevent it?

Teak patina is the natural silver-grey colour that develops over 6-12 months when teak weathers outdoors. This patina is normal, doesn't harm the wood, and many people prefer the aged appearance. To prevent patina and maintain golden honey colour, apply teak oil annually before the outdoor season. Patina can be reversed using teak cleaner or wood brightener, then applying teak oil to restore golden colour.

Can wooden garden furniture stay outside all year in the UK?

Yes, quality wooden furniture is designed for year-round outdoor use in UK weather. Teak, treated hardwood, and properly maintained softwood withstand rain, frost, and sun. Use breathable waterproof covers during winter to protect furniture and extend lifespan. Softwood benefits most from covers and regular treatment. Teak and quality hardwood are most resilient to year-round exposure without covers.

How do I clean and maintain wooden garden furniture?

Clean all wooden furniture with mild soap and warm water. Teak needs no treatment unless you want to maintain golden colour (annual teak oil). Oil hardwood furniture annually to prevent cracking. Treat softwood every 6-12 months with wood preservative. Use breathable covers during winter. Check and tighten fixings annually. For weathered wood, use wood cleaner or brightener before oiling to restore appearance.

What's the difference between teak and hardwood furniture?

Teak is a premium hardwood with exceptional natural oils that resist rot, insects, and weather without treatment. Teak can last 20-30+ years with minimal maintenance and develops beautiful patina. Other hardwoods (acacia, eucalyptus) offer good durability at lower cost but need annual oiling and typically last 10-15 years. Teak is the premium choice for longevity and low maintenance, whilst other hardwoods provide excellent value.

Is wooden furniture more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials?

Wooden furniture from sustainably managed forests is environmentally friendly. Look for FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood, which ensures responsible forestry practices. Wood is renewable, biodegradable, and stores carbon. However, synthetic materials like aluminium and rattan are also recyclable and long-lasting. Both can be environmentally responsible choices—check certifications and choose quality furniture that lasts decades rather than requiring frequent replacement.

Can I paint or stain wooden garden furniture?

Yes, wooden furniture can be painted or stained. Softwood furniture is often painted for protection and aesthetics. Hardwood and teak can be stained, though many prefer natural wood appearance. Clean and sand furniture before painting or staining. Use exterior-grade wood paint or stain designed for outdoor use. Painting or staining requires reapplication every 2-3 years. Natural oiling is lower maintenance than painting for teak and hardwood.

How do I restore weathered wooden furniture?

Use wood cleaner or teak brightener to remove grey patina and dirt. Apply product, scrub gently with soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely (24-48 hours). Then apply appropriate wood oil or treatment to nourish wood and restore colour. This process can be done annually or whenever you want to refresh weathered furniture. Some people prefer natural weathered appearance and skip restoration.

Does wooden furniture require assembly?

Assembly requirements vary by product. Benches often arrive fully assembled or require minimal assembly (attaching legs). Dining sets typically require assembly of tables and chairs (30-60 minutes with basic tools). Instructions are included. Some larger items may benefit from two-person assembly. Check product specifications for assembly requirements if ease of setup is important.

How long does delivery take for wooden garden furniture?
