Teak patio furniture is becoming more popular each day as more designers explore the timeless charm of teak wood. Teak
patio furniture is a popular choice for manufacturers and consumers of patio furniture alike for many reasons.
Teak patio furniture is both elegant and practical; the hardwood is well known for its durability and low maintenance
qualities. It is resistant to water, bugs and any type of rot. Whether you use it indoors or outdoors, this furniture is very strong and is
known for lasting up to 75 years. It is legendary for its resistance to weather. Teak patio furniture is the ideal choice for outdoor
furniture and remains a sound investment. Teak is a natural product and it can be left out in the open all year round through rain, hail or
shine. Its color will gradually mellow to a graceful silver gray. The character of your furniture will alter, but its strength will
remain.
An occasional scrub down with hot soapy water will compliment this process and discourage any moss growth. In established gardens,
weathered teak patio furniture, in lustrous hues of gray and silver, brings dignity and grace to the garden setting. With its quiet,
stately presence, it harmonizes with existing structures and is instantly at home in gardens, old and new.
The best teak patio furniture is usually machine made because the equipment that is used guarantees that the pieces will be
well constructed and uniform. You can rest easy when you discover a top quality teak chair at a great price. Even though teak patio
furniture is rather expensive, its demand is increasing every day.
Generally price is dictated by the shape and weight of a piece of furniture. The more shape a piece has the more wood and time is
required to create the piece. Thus, the furniture will be more expensive. Also, the heavier that the sections of wood are, the more costly
the piece will be. Since teak patio furniture outlasts most other types of wood furnishings, it is worth every penny.
It is the best choice for anyone who values both beauty and endurance. There is nothing like the look of natural wood in your yard
or on your patio and teak patio furniture is classically elegant for outdoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are less expensive items in the range as good quality as the more expensive?
Generally price is dictated by the shape and weight of a piece of furniture. The more shape a piece has, the more wood is required to make it
along with taking more time to create. Also the heavier the sections of wood used means more weight and thus more cost. No matter which piece of
furniture you choose, you can be assured that the same quality teak and standard of workmanship is used along with the same methods of
manufacture and assembly.
How do I look after my teak furniture?
Teak is a natural product, it can be left out in the open all year round through rain, hail or shine. Its color will gradually mellow to a
graceful silver gray. The character of your furniture will alter, but its strength will remain. An occasional scrub down with hot soapy water
will compliment this process and discourage any moss growth.
How long will it last?
Teak furniture should last a lifetime if properly built in the first place. Anderson Teak uses only the top grade kiln-dried timber, epoxy resins
for lasting strength, and any metal parts are either stainless steel or solid brass, which will not rust or corrode when left outside. The top
furniture grade teak, used for all Anderson Teak furniture, with its high natural oil content, resists both warping and rot, ensuring that Indian
Ocean teak furniture will last more than a lifetime.
Cracks appear periodically in my furniture and then go away?
This is perfectly normal as the wood breathes and reacts to variations in the moisture content of the air. The cracking tends to appear on the
end grain sections and usually happens early in the life of the furniture. Cracks come and go depending on seasonal variations but rarely do they
affect the strength, performance or life expectancy of the item.
Should I keep the furniture indoors during the winter months?
There is no problem wintering furniture outside, it may need a washing down in spring before use.
Spills, Stains, Chips and Scratches!
Most drinks stains will weather out naturally or can be cleaned down with soapy water and a hard brush. Other damage or stains can be removed
quite simply using ordinary sandpaper. The grade of sandpaper depends on the degree of damage. Serious damage, start with course and move up to
fine. Light damage, fine grade is all you will need. Stains usually disappear with a light sanding.
How easy is the furniture to assemble?
Most of the time the furniture is supplied flat-packed in semi-assemblies. Only a few products come fully assembled. All flat-packed items come
with the hardware, dowels, screw glue and instruction manual. To make the furniture stronger and more stable, glue is required in most cases. In
most cases the furniture can be assembled within a few minutes by a single person with a minimum of tools. However, a helper is very useful.
Fabulous Fabrics for Outdoor Spaces
(ARA) - A crackling fire sends sparks flying into a star-filled sky. Good food and great company set the tone for an almost perfect evening
alfresco. Stop! What’s wrong with this picture? How about the faded cushions, tired table covers and sagging chairs that have seen better
days?
Outdoor living has always held a romantic appeal, but its rustic nature often lacked a sense of sophistication. Furniture has evolved way beyond
Adirondack chairs and lumpy cushions. With today’s high-performance fabrics, you can decorate and live fashionably and comfortably, both indoors
and out, without worrying about spills and messes. Beautiful, durable and practical high-performance fabrics are available in such a wide range
of patterns and colors that you will never have to compromise on style.
“Today’s active lifestyles have inspired families to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces in their homes,” says Jan Jessup, national
spokesperson for interior design retailer Calico Corners (www.CalicoCorners.com). “Dress up an outdoor entertaining space with bold stripes and
bright prints. Reupholster dining room chairs in elegant fabrics of Sunbrella or Sensuede faux suede. Create bed dressings or table skirts that
resist a spilled cup of coffee. With hundreds of high performance fabrics available, you can live in stress-free style, knowing sloppy
kids, pets and even guests won’t ruin your furnishings.”
Here are four reasons why we love these fabrics:
1. They are durable. High performance fabrics are perfect for family rooms, kitchen and dining room chairs, outdoor cushions — even patio
umbrellas. They're designed for every room you live in.
2. They are stain-repellent. Most high performance fabrics have a fiber content and stain-repellent finish that makes care and cleaning simple.
Stains can usually be removed with dish soap and water. A mild bleach solution can be used on Sunbrella acrylic fabrics to remove stubborn
stains. Outdoor cushions can even be hosed down (especially when filled with quick-draining marine foam).
3. And for indoor use, furniture of Sensuede faux suede can be easily cleaned using a little dish soap. "I have dining room chairs upholstered in
four colors of Sensuede," Jessup says, "and you would never know about the ground-in chocolate cake or the salad dressing stains after dinner
parties. A soapy sponge, some paper towels, and it all came right out." In today’s green-focused world, environmentally conscious
consumers will be happy to know that Sensuede is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
4. They are fade resistant. High performance Sunbrella fabrics resist fading, mildew, water and soil. They’re ideal for use outdoors,
inside near sunny windows and in steamy bathrooms for shades and upholstery. Acrylic fabrics do not support the growth of mildew (mildew
can grow on dirt, so keep your cushions clean).
5. They are beautiful. High performance fabrics that were once stiff as a board now come with a softer texture. You’ll find beautiful
fabrics in chenilles, velvets, jacquards, damasks and relaxed twill textures — even sheers.
Distinctive patterns inspired by the design of geisha robes or Chippendale railings are found in some of the newest indoor/outdoor fabrics.
Softer greens and blues, crisp navy and white, and graphic black and white designs are among the new introductions at Calico Corners.
Stripes that work with plaids that complement prints make it easy to mix fabrics without looking like hodge-podge lodge.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2008, Calico Corners provides expert advice, decorating solutions and in-home design consultation in addition
to quality designer fabrics for the home, trims, custom window treatments and upholstered furniture. Calico Corners and Calico Home operate more

(ARA) - With the housing market in uncertain territory, many homeowners are choosing to stay in their homes and undertake home improvement
projects that offer immediate benefits, as well as a good return on investment. Building a sturdy deck is one way homeowners are creating a home
they can enjoy more now, while looking smartly ahead in case they want to sell later.
According to Remodeling magazine’s 2007 Cost vs. Value report, adding a deck constructed with composite decking, a decking material made of
combined wood and plastic, can be expected to yield an approximate 77 percent cost recovery on average at resale. Composite decks rank higher
than the national average of cost recovered for a major kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel – two types of projects homeowners often undertake to
make their homes more appealing.
Expanding Living Space
Building a deck expands living space, as many homeowners are using their decks for longer periods of the year. Decks are now considered another
room of the home.
According to a 2007 report from The NPD Group, Inc., eight out of ten consumers prefer outdoor entertaining to indoor, weather permitting. And,
with new home construction slowing, there are potentially more remodelers available to homeowners desiring to take on home improvement
projects.
One consideration for homeowners planning to add a deck is to look at other decks in their area to determine the appropriate size and scope of
their deck project for their neighborhood. Homeowners should also consider a decking material that will last in the long term. Not only will
homeowners enjoy a durable, inviting deck while they live in the home, but the type of material they use can help determine how well it will
retain its value over time.
Materials
Decking materials must be able to withstand years of exposure to the elements and hold up well to temperature changes, sun exposure, and rain.
They also must be attractive and complement the house and existing landscaping.
Many homeowners are turning to wood-plastic composite decking, such as ChoiceDek composite decking, for durable decking material that does not
require staining or painting. Composite decking is also resistant to moisture and decay. And, the material will not splinter or crack. Composite
decking does require periodic cleaning, which can be accomplished with widely available commercial deck cleaners.
For homeowners searching for environmentally responsible materials, some wood-plastic composite decking is made from recycled materials,
potentially keeping unused waste out of landfills. Such composite decking consists of recycled polyethylene plastics that are re-used from common
items such as grocery bags.
“With outdoor living continuing to increase, homeowners who add a deck are essentially adding to the square footage of the home,” says Sue Snuggs
of Weyerhaeuser. “In addition to providing a good recovery of cost at resale, building a deck with composite decking makes the home more
attractive to potential buyers who are looking for a home with a deck that does not need to be stained every year.”
Building a durable deck offers immediate enjoyment for friends and family, extends living space outdoors, and offers long-term value. As some
homeowners decide in favor of remodeling over selling in a challenging housing market, adding a composite deck can help them ensure their
remodeling dollars are spent wisely.
