When selecting an outdoor bench, the choice of wood significantly impacts both aesthetics and longevity. We proudly offer multiple wood options to suit different preferences and environments, with teak and cedar being among our most popular selections.
Teak wood stands out for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to moisture, insects, and rotting. Its high oil content and tight grain structure allow it to withstand harsh weather conditions without requiring extensive maintenance. While teak benches typically come at a higher price point, their decades-long lifespan makes them an excellent investment for permanent outdoor installations. Over time, teak gracefully weathers to a distinctive silver-gray patina if left untreated, though regular oiling can maintain its original golden-brown hue.
Cedar offers another outstanding option, particularly valued for its natural aromatic qualities and resistance to decay. This lightweight yet sturdy wood contains natural tannins that repel insects and resist moisture absorption. Cedar benches typically feature a rich, reddish-brown color that gradually silvers when exposed to sunlight. Many customers appreciate cedar's natural beauty and its slightly more budget-friendly price compared to teak.
Beyond these two premium options, we also provide benches crafted from other durable woods like eucalyptus, shorea, and oak. Each species possesses unique characteristics regarding grain pattern, hardness, color variation, and weathering properties. We carefully treat all our wood benches with appropriate sealants or oils to enhance their natural resistance elements, though we recommend periodic maintenance to preserve their appearance and structural integrity.
Our knowledgeable team can guide you through the selection process, considering your specific climate conditions, design preferences, and maintenance willingness. Whether you prioritize the luxurious appearance of teak, the pleasant aroma of cedar, or the distinctive character of alternative woods, we have options to create your ideal outdoor seating solution.
