We do not recommend leaving any furniture outdoors without appropriate covering. We strongly advise covering all outdoor furniture when not in use to ensure its longevity.

Exposure to the elements, such as rain, sun, wind, and dust, can cause premature wear and tear on outdoor furniture and textiles, reducing lifespan.

By covering your outdoor furniture when not in use, you can protect it from the elements, preserving its appearance and maintaining its structural integrity.

Please note that outdoor furniture covers are not guaranteed against damage. Following proper care and maintenance instructions is essential to keep your outdoor furniture in good condition.

Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain the quality of outdoor furniture. To maintain timber's beautiful natural appearance and character, we suggest regularly coating it with natural beeswax to repel water. 

Additionally, it is essential to periodically inspect your outdoor furniture and covers for signs of wear and tear and to replace covers as needed.

Following these recommendations, you can enjoy your outdoor furniture for years.

Characteristics

Reclaimed teak retains the natural density, durability, and high oil content of teak, but carries the distinctive marks of its previous life. These may include knots, insect markings, gum pockets, textured overgrowths, and black stains from historic water exposure and tannin reactions. Its patina, varied grain, and organic imperfections are authentic features that reflect the timber's history.

Common Issues or Risks

Surface tones, textures, and imperfections will vary from piece to piece. Prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperature changes may cause fading, drying, or surface cracks. Natural movement and colour shifts can occur as the timber acclimatises to its environment.

Preventative Care

Keep reclaimed teak in well-ventilated, sheltered spaces when not designed for full outdoor use. Use coasters, placemats, and risers to prevent stains, heat marks, and moisture build-up. Avoid placing near direct heat sources or air-conditioning vents.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust with a soft cloth or brush. For general cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly, wiping in the direction of the grain. Oils are generally not necessary but can be applied sparingly if a refreshed golden tone is preferred.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Do not soak, pressure wash, or use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads. Avoid over-oiling to preserve the timber's patina and aged finish.
