Don’t you just love the feeling of relaxing in your garden whilst surrounded by everything you have spent months growing? All those weekends planting and pruning and digging have really paid off with the most exquisite looking garden. Even for those with just a patio to enjoy, they too will spend months planting flowers and herbs to freshen up their outdoor living area. But regardless of the size or location you will want to make sure you outfit it with only the best garden furniture.
All too often people do not have the time to spend planning more than just their gardens and only rush out to buy plastic sets at the end of the day. However, what needs to be remembered and understood is that your outdoor area should be a natural extension of the inside of your home. Imagine having a beautifully decorated home with rich hard wood furniture and glass inside only to step out on the patio and find white or green plastic garden furniture. Not only does it throw off the whole feel of your home but it will also not last very long. So make sure when you purchase your pieces you go for something like balau or teak benches rather than plastic sitting chairs.
Teak and balau wood are specially cured and used for outdoor furniture. These are not the same wood pieces you have seen in the past that are half rotten after five or so years. When you buy balau you are buying 50 years worth of solid furniture. But does this mean it will need not care at all? You may be surprised to learn that some of those old broken silvery wood pieces you have seen in your life were most likely made from quality hard wood. So when you purchase your elegant and deep colored Steamer Deck Chairs you will want to make sure you pick up a can of Banana River Sealer.
Even when the richest quality wood gets old you will notice it turning that silvery color. However, when you use the right sealer once or twice a year you will be able to enjoy that rich dark color for as many years as the furniture lasts. And not only does it keep it looking rich, but when reapplied to scrapes and dings it will effectively hidden. In fact, you can even use this to resurface your beautiful garden furniture. This is often done after ten or so years as children have moved out of the home and its owners will want to make everything look fresh and young again. So give your stunning teak benches a once over with Banana River and leave it until next year.
Still not sure whether or not to go with wood? Why not purchase one or two small pieces before your next garden party. Once you see the reaction of your guests you will want to rush to order a whole set. And from full patio dining sets to simple storage boxes you will find all your needs online.
