Outdoor Wood Furniture Ideas

No matter how fast and easily your neighbors get metal and plastic outdoor furniture, they can never match the hand crafted outdoor wood furniture you owe. Here are some ideas for choosing the right outdoor wooden furniture for your garden, deck or patio.

• Although there are many types of wood but for outdoor furniture, teak is considered best. It is the hardest hardwood and can withstand outdoor conditions better than any other readily available wood.
• While buying the outdoor furniture, always keep the purpose in mind. If you enjoy having meals with your family and friends outdoor then go for bigger dining tables so that you have ample space for you and your guests to relax. Buy at least a 7 piece deep seating dining set.
• If you just like to relax outside with a few friends, purchase a smaller dining set of 4 to 5 pieces.
• If you have limited outdoor space or you long for intimate outdoor dining, a bistro table or a 3 piece set will be the best.
• When you have decided for parties outside then why make multiple trips inside for getting all your stuff. Get a serving cart to do all the carrying for you.
• If you like to be relaxed in the natural outdoor environment, go for a lounge chair with multi-position back. It is perfect for lying around on a lazy summer day.
• Get a comfy sofa set made with all weather fabrics and forget the comfort of your indoors. You can even get a rocking chair for relaxing out in the evening.
• And for your kids, you can purchase porch swings and enjoy them yourself when kids are not around.

If your outdoor wood furniture isn't teak or cedar, remember that it will need to be treated regularly to prevent rotting. It should also be stored inside during the winter. If you can't bring them inside, cover them up with some waterproof but breathable material. If you have opted for teak furniture, also remember that not all teak is ecologically sound. As far as possible, buy Eco-friendly wood furniture and be responsible towards our planet.
