Indonesian Legal Teak Range of outdoor garden furniture. Quality teak at affordable prices.

 

Only the highest quality Teak wood materials are used in our furniture from the best and oldest plantations in Central Java, Indonesia. These sustainable plantations created by the Dutch almost two centuries ago are now owned and managed by the Indonesian Government.

 

The Indonesian Forestry Dept “Perum Perhutani” stringently controls the cutting and replanting programme, thus ensuring not only a constant supply of mature logs, but also providing considerable local employment and ensuring a plentiful supply of teak for the future.

 

We guarantee to use only wood sourced officially through the Perum Perhutani plantations

Genuine Teak (Tectona Grandis) has a high natural oil content which is almost impervious to extreme weather conditions and naturally resilient to rotting over a period of many, many years. Teak is ideal for the British climate and proven over many decades use in the UK.

 

For many centuries teakwood has been the mainstay of shipbuilding and marine constructions such as wharves and docks etc. These days it has become de-rigour on nearly all the multi-million pound yachts you see in the marina, fitted not only for its longevity under extreme conditions but also for its beautiful appearance.

 

Over the last 150 years teakwood has become the most sought after and prestigious of timber for outdoor garden furniture. Other hardwoods on the market like Iroku of African Saligna etc are inferior to teak in every way.

 

Due to its high natural oil content, teakwood requires no protective maintenance, EVER! Teak will go a natural silvery grey when left outside in the weather, rain and sunshine. A quick wash in the spring and that is all that is required.

 

If you wish to keep the new look of the teak go to a quality paint shop and see the various applications that can be applied giving you the look you want.

 

It’s rich golden tones show off the woods natural beauty to its best effect, but can be lightened or darkened to suit your individual preference.

 

All other products of a similar design on the market are made from softwood which has to be chemically treated to achieve any reasonable life span outdoors. All other manufacturers offer quite limited and restrictive guarantees, which on products of this value do not appear to give good value for money, on what is not an insignificant purchase price.

 

Good quality Teak furniture, properly made, is a purchase for a lifetime’s enjoyment, and even to be passed down to the next generation. Its timeless beauty and sophisticated elegance will be appreciated more and more as time goes by and will make you the envy of your friends for having something “truly special”

 

 

Items come with a wax finish, which will dissolve if left outside or to speed up the process use a brush and soapy water to remove the wax. Once the wax is removed teak oil or linseed oil can be used or an exterior wood sealant can be applied.

 

Wood treatments and sealants often change the colour of the furniture, so ask your local hardware shop for advice on the finish you are looking for. Treatments and sealants will need to be reapplied every season.
