Again, it is time for us to dust garden furniture and we look forward to decorating our pergolas and gazebos with flowers. Sometimes, however, we do not get enough of the dust. If our garden furniture already remembers very much, it is slippery and unsightly, maybe it's time to look for another.

Again, it is time for us to dust garden furniture and we look forward to decorating our pergolas and gazebos with flowers. Sometimes, however, we do not get enough of the dust. If our garden furniture already remembers very much, it is slippery and unsightly, maybe it's time to look for another.
 

 

Wooden furniture

Garden furniture made of wood looks nice and is also pleasant to the touch. It is often unnecessary to retrofit the chair because the sitting on the wood itself is very pleasant. Wood does not wake up or burn. And if we choose, ergonomically well shaped wood, it will certainly be comfortable.
 

Advantages and disadvantages of wooden furniture

The advantage of wooden garden furniture is that it fits into every environment. Garden furniture is heavier but very stable. Wood is a material that is relatively resistant to moisture and sunlight, but to be durable, wood garden furniture requires proper care. It consists in storing furniture at a time when we do not use it, and its regular treatment with special furniture oils.
 

Materials of garden furniture made of wood

Of course, wood plays a major role, but not wood, like wood. Wood differs in hardness, flexibility and overall durability. Exotic tree species are considered the most resistant. For example, the teakwood garden furniture is highly resistant to weathering and wood-destroying pests and molds. And its huge advantage is that it does not require any special coating. In time, it gets a certain patina, but if we do not want it, we simply rinse the furniture and get paid.
 

Other suitable materials

From exotic woods, meranti or North American acacia can be recommended for garden furniture. Of our more affordable woods, it is worth mentioning garden furniture made of beech, oak, pine, larch or spruce.
 

How to extend the life of wood furniture

Furniture from exotic woods contains a lot of oil and resin, so it is more durable. Interior wood furniture is less resistant to weathering. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the durability of garden furniture made of wood by a suitable glaze and, at a time when we do not use it, to ensure that the sun does not rain or rain. It can be covered with a covering sheet for furniture, or placed under a sheltered pergola, etc.
