It’s that time of year when the cold creeps in and desperately tries to push us inside keeping us away from our favourite outdoor living space. Particularly if you live in the Southern states, where the colder nights extend from March through to October (here in Melbourne, it’s not uncommon to turn the outdoor heating on in December).
Teak is one of the world’s best timbers for construction. It is indelibly strong, durable, weatherproof and has outstanding resistance to decay and rot. So it is perfect for outdoor furniture. When teak outdoor furniture pieces are produced they are generally oiled. Left to weather, the timber will naturally turn a silvery grey but a clean and re-oiling will bring it back to original state.

We are passionate about building quality furniture and that starts with raw material selection. When it comes to outdoor fabrics they don't get any better than Sunbrella. Here's why.
