5 Star Design talks about outdoor furniture.

We need a new dining table and chairs for the garden. We can't afford teak but there appears to be a wide selection of products in either acacia wood or eucalyptus wood. Which of these two woods is the best choice and why? Of course if anyone knows a place to buy low cost teak furniture then please let us know. Thanks

I'm just a poor good ole boy, but if you can afford to buy any wood furniture for outside, especially a dining table and chairs, I'd say you could afford the teak.

Is French polish an appropriate finish for outdoor furniture
IS cherry Wood as expensive as oak or teak

No French Polishing is NOT appropriate for outdoors. This wood finishing technique is used mainly for acoustic guitars and is fairly easily damaged by moisture.

The cost of wood varies, depending on your location. By and large, Teak would be the most expensive, cherry much less expensive, and oak much less expensive than that.

Can I use it for all outdoor uses eg fencing,garden furniture,gates,outdoor furniture etc.
I am trying to set up a timber importing business but cannot afford to wait to have the timber dried.

Sorry, but you'll find that the market for green lumber is rather limited, unless you plan on brokering logs to mills.

Also, I think you'll find that most outdoor furniture, that is made of wood, was made of kiln dried wood.


Good luck...

i recently bought a beech coloured hard wood set of patio furniture...it was expensive but i bought it as i liked the colour of the wood.

my husband (when i was out) treated it with 'teak oil'..and it has completely changed the colour...and i now hate it...so as you can imagine..we exchanged a few words!

my husband said it is the correct treatment for the wood...and it has to be treated. anybody know if this is true... are you supposed to coat outdoor wood in teak oil?? thank you for any serious answers.

p.s. he told me to ask on Yahoo...to prove he is right!!

As a member of his gender, I am sorry to say he is WRONG!
TEAK oil is a darker colour than beech wood, hence it will obviously darken the colour of "beech coloured hardwood".
To best retain the appearance of light coloured woods, I recommend a clear water-based exterior varnish. There are many brands on the market these days, your local hardware store will advise. Oils are good for wood, but they generally darken the colour initially, with the added disadvantage of not sealing the wood from staining by just about anything else. Try washing it off with caustic soda and bleaching it to get the original colour back. (Well, let him do it to retrieve the relationship. hehehe)
