Wooden Garden Furniture<\/h1>\n

Wooden garden furniture gives an authentic feel to any patio area.\u00a0 The deep brown hardwood is elegant, while still being robust enough to handle the great british summers!\u00a0 There are a few reasons why we love hardwood furniture, but lets look over the pros and cons.
\nWe no longer recommend wooden furniture because it requires too much effort to maintain, see our best alternatives here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Pros<\/h2>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Brings and authentic, rustic feel to your garden area.<\/li>\n
  2. With proper care can last for over a decade.<\/li>\n
  3. Available in many different styles and sizes.<\/li>\n
  4. Less harsh on smaller gardens – doesn’t over power its surroundings.<\/li>\n
  5. Most dining sets will fold for easy storage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Cons<\/h2>\n
    \n
      \n
    1. \u00a0Requires regular maintenance.<\/li>\n
    2. Cover required during the winter months.<\/li>\n
    3. Not as robust as all weather furniture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      To sum up, hardwood garden furniture is great for that authentic feel, if you have the time to give it the care and attention it needs to stay looking great.
      \n\"round<\/a>One of our favourite hardwood sets is the\u00a0Round Slatted Table and 4 Chairs<\/strong>, a new effect for 2013, and it looks great!<\/p>\n

      Maintaining Hardwood Furniture<\/h2>\n

      To maintain your garden furniture, we recommend using Teak Oil<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>this helps protect it from water damage and extreme heat.
      \nYou will need: 1 Bottle of Teak Oil, 2 Clean Cloths.<\/strong>
      \nFirst of all, wipe down your garden furniture with one of your cloths.\u00a0 This is to ensure no dirt of grit gets rubbed into the wood, as this can scratch the surface.
      \nNext, apply generous ammounts <\/strong>of teak oil to your clean cloth, and wipe your piece of garden furniture all over, trying to get into every tight corner possible.\u00a0 We are aiming to create a watertight seal, that will prevent damage later on.
      \nAnd finally leave it to dry, you will want to apply your teak oil every 4-6 weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n
