Treating teak garden furniture with teak oil or other preservatives is not necessary; it will not extend the life of your furniture and is purely cosmetic.
We do not recommend oiling your teak furniture as it creates unnecessary maintenance.
However, if you wish to preserve the ‘just bought’ look of your garden furniture you should apply teak oil or wood stain when the furniture is new.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended application, taking care with oil-soaked rags as they are highly combustible.

The properties of teak
Teak is a deciduous hardwood tree from the highlands of south-east Asia, it does not come from tropical rainforests and is grown in monitored plantations
Teakwood has a naturally high oil content which makes it both stable and resistant to rotting when exposed to climatic extremes.
For several centuries these special qualities have made teakwood the preferred choice for marine decking and construction, and is the reason that it is considered the premium timber for outdoor furniture.
