Plant a tree at your home and help save the Planet!




There is a movement developing that urges each one of us to plant a tree to help replace those being destroyed by loggers, palm oil and soya producers and over intensive farming. But, how can someone without a large garden plant a tree, especially someone with a rather small outdoor living space?


Planting a tree, planting a hedge growing a shrub or two can be done in a very small area of patio, veranda or bijou deck, whatever the size of ones outdoor living space there is a plant for you. Simply replacing artificial ‘potted’ Bay trees with natural plants will help!


Purchasing a limited size tree of traditional British origin  is simple, chat with your local plantsman, nursery or garden centre staff. Trees as common as Mountain Ash, with their lovely orange berries – much in favour with your local blackbird and thrush population - are cheerful and will bring back memories of long country walks and sunny days. Also, Roses, Bay or Camellia including ‘standards’ will do well in planters on a veranda. Exotic plants such as Olive trees and Figs will grow happily too, just make sure when purchasing that they are frost resistant.


Fancy a hedge but don’t have much of a garden? Easy, try Box or Yew, both will grow in a planter, for effect a few planters planted with low lying Box or taller Yew will outline your sitting out space and provide a degree of privacy. Both plants are capable of being shaped and trimmed, many a Box has been shaped into a cone, mushroom shape, and even animal shaped topiary. Both plants are slow growing and will not reach for the sky!


With innovation there is no reason why the smallest garden space cannot be made into a green and beautiful place in which one can sit and enjoy a fine day. 

For people who love to see bees at work try interspersing the Box or Yew with Lavender and other scented summer plants, whilst trees soak up Co2 bees pollinate every plant in the garden, and far beyond.


On the topic of enjoying ones outdoor living space, do remember to take advantage of the opportunity to sit out in the fresh air and rest easy.
https://www.chairsandtables.co.uk/teak-root-statues/


Not only do Chairs and Tables Teak Garden Furniture make exceptionally tasteful teakwood planters that would accommodate your choice of plants but the also produce delightfully comfortable chairs and tables that allow one to relax in style and comfort.

The same goes for organisations that are responsible for spending ‘other peoples money’ including clubs and social organisations. Buying judiciously is so important.

How to Restore Teak Garden Furniture


Anyone that invests in teak garden furniture can expect it last for some time.


A hard-wearing wood, teak garden furniture can be left outside without worrying about damage from the rain or sun, while the strength of the wood ensures it doesn’t lose it shape over time.


Simply put, teak is an incredible material for outdoor furniture as it almost guarantees longevity.

Short of accidently breaking it - which would take some effort in any case - there is almost no reason teak furniture cannot survive decades in your garden.
However, as such as long-lasting material, teak does see some minor changes to its appearance. This is rarely viewed as a bad thing, with many owners of teak furniture opting to keep the sliver-patina tone of older teak, although some do prefer the natural golden-honey shade.
The changes are purely aesthetic, as darker teak is in no way weaker. Should you prefer the natural colour of teak but your furniture as changed, there are some simple ways to restore it. Some people also want to restore their teak furniture as it has become weatherworn, as moulds can develop on the surface when left uncleaned.

Thankfully, restoring teak garden furniture couldn’t be easier. Here’s everything you need to know:


Avoid using teak oil

Teak oils sold by retailers aren’t the same as teak oil present in the wood. Some people don’t realise this, and buy it to restore the brighter colour of their furniture. While this does work, the effects are only temporary, as the greying will eventually return.
It also results in more mildew in many instances, while black spots can also develop on the surface because of store-bought teak oil. So, it’s best to avoid using teak oil to restore your furniture!


Sanding the surface

The simplest way to restore the surface of teak garden furniture is to give it a light sand. Using 80-grit sand paper, slowly sand down the surface of the effected furniture. This helps to remove the wear-worn surface and the patina colour, as the teak below the surface is still a honey-colour.
After using a teak cleaner (see below) you might want to use a finer sandpaper for a really smooth finish to the surface.


Cleaning the surface

To really make the surface of your newly sanded teak furniture pop, take the time to give it a good clean. Start by rinsing the surface area after you sand it down, after which a suitable teak clean should be worked into the surface using a bristled brush.
Leave for a short while and then rinse off with water. If you can, do this on a dry day so the furniture can be left outside to dry.

5 Reasons to Buy Teak Garden Furniture



Teak is perhaps the best wood available for garden furniture. While there is a wide selection of woods that are suitable for outdoor furniture, there are few - if any - better suited than teak. Stylish and durable, teak has all the properties you could possible hope for in garden furniture.


Let’s take a closer look at five reasons why you should buy teak garden furniture:

Teak is very strong and durable

As a tight-grain wood, teak is incredibly strong yet remains flexible enough to be easily used as material for furniture. Natural oils present inside of teak also contribute to its strength and durability by preventing it from going brittle - a common issue with other woods used for outdoor furniture.
So, not only can teak furniture withstand large weights without warping the wood, the surface will not suffer any damage from constant use. Whether it’s been blown over or had something dropped on it, you can be certain that teak garden furniture won’t break without some serious force.

Teak is highly resistance to weather and rot

The natural properties inside of teak make it a fantastic choice for garden furniture. For example, the rubber present in teak makes it waterproof, meaning it can be left outside in even the worst weather conditions without suffering from any water damage.
As water damage eventually takes its toll on most other types of woods, teak remains one of the best materials for outdoor furniture.
Similarly, the natural oils of teak wood ensure it’s highly resistant to rot, as well as damage caused by wood burrowing insects. Again, these are issues that can be quite problematic for outdoor furniture, highlighting how the natural properties within teak make it such a fine choice.

Teak garden furniture is very low-maintenance

Nothing can be more annoying than having to constant cover your garden furniture or taking the time to paint or varnish it, yet it’s necessary for maintaining its overall condition. There is no such issue with teak garden furniture.
As it’s naturally resistant to the elements, teak can be left uncovered year-round without suffering any sort of wear and tear. It also doesn’t need to be painted or varnished to help make it more resistant to the weather, meaning it can be used as soon as it arrives.
Therefore, the only maintenance that’s really needed is the occasional clean -warm soapy water is fine in most instances!

Teak looks naturally beautiful

There is no denying that teak is a naturally attractive wood. Freshly manufactured teak furniture takes on a gorgeous honey hue, and when left to cure naturally this colour develops into a stunning silver patina.
Of course, if you don’t like the natural tone of the wood you can easily apply a stain or paint to get the desired look - many still enjoy its beautiful natural appearance.

Teak will last many years

Given its strength and durability, there is no question that teak garden furniture is built to last. With a little routine maintenance, you can expect any piece of teak garden furniture to last several years or even decades.

A one-off investment in teak garden furniture means you are essentially buying furniture that can last a lifetime - you never need to buy another piece of furniture again!

Southwold 180cm bench


A bench doesn’t just offer a great place to sit and enjoy your garden on a nice day, but also as a decorative piece that will enhance the overall style of an outdoor space and be a talking point for any guest visiting.



One bench that offers both style and substance is the Southwold 6ft Deluxe Teak bench. It features a classic park bench design with a straight back and chunky slats, resulting in an attractive yet robust design that will certainly catch the eye.

In fact, we are sure that this beautiful bench will get nothing but compliments from anyone that sees it. Better still, nothing will be more enjoyable than adding a few comfy cushions and settling down into the bench for a few hours during a warm summers day.

The teak offers a silky-smooth finish that is naturally attractive – there’s no need for paint or varnish here. Oils present in the wood age beautifully when untreated, with the natural fade producing a lovely colour to the bench that highlights the textures and grain of the teak. 

Also, the material used for the bench is one of the strongest hardwoods in the world, meaning it will be able to withstand plenty of weight without bending; you will easily sit many of your friends on the Southwold bench!

For those unaware, Southwold is the name of a picturesque seaside town on the east coast of England. It’s an appropriate namesake for this bench, as it is just as attractive and charming as the town its named for – sitting on it during a sunny day will easily feel like a day out at the beach!


Expect to enjoy many summers sitting on this bench, as it is made using only the finest Grade A teakwood, which happens to be one of the most durable materials on the market.

Oils present in the wood help to avoid weather damage such as cracks and warping, meaning rain, frost, and even overexposure to the sun will not result in any significant damage. Therefore, this bench can last well over ten years with a little bit of care – talk about getting your money’s worth!

Speaking of caring for the bench, it requires very little in the way of maintenance, which isnt always the case with high-quality garden furniture. Any spillages or mess require a quick wipe with a damp cloth, while harder stains will easily be removed using warm water mixed with baking soda.

Best of all, the Southwold bench comes fully assembled and ready to use!


For anyone looking for an attractive bench that is built to last many years, then this is a piece well worth considering. If you love spending time out relaxing and unwinding in the garden, there is no place better to do it than on the Southwold 6ft Deluxe teak bench!
