Teak Garden Furniture – The Centrepiece of Alfresco Dining

One of the joys of an English summer (or British summer if one prefers) is the thought that, after a long slog at work during the week and with the weather forecast looking good, eating outside (alfresco) in the garden on a sunny summers’ afternoon is almost here. Even if the weather isn’t one of those glorious sunny days where every man and his dog makes a beeline for the nearest beach, the joys of eating as a family outside on the patio is one of the joys of British summers.

Picture the scene; mum is indoors preparing the salad, washing up the plates and cutlery from breakfast, sorting the kids out and doing the chores such as vacuuming the house, tidying the kids’ clothes up, putting the dirty washing in the washing machine ready for later; the kids on the other hand are whining they’re hungry and no, they can’t have anything to eat yet because it will spoil their appetite.

Dad on the other hand stands resolutely by the barbecue, after having spent the best part of three hours and two gallons of some kind of flammable liquid getting it to actually ignite after the tenth or eleventh attempt, while mum is busy setting the table on the patio, placing dishes of this and bowls of that, a bottle or two here and there; oh yes, and also making sure if the wind does get up, the table cloth is well pegged down.

At this point in time the meat is on the barbecue and crisping up nicely, the chicken is no longer pink in the middle but it is nice and black on the outside, the chops are now a little overdone and the pork belly slices are little more than strips of charcoal which any artist could put to good use on their next work of art.

And the centerpiece of all this action, this ritual which is at times comical, at times fraught and tense but at all times a ritual which takes place in many back gardens during the course of the summer is a beautiful set of Teak garden furniture. Teak garden and outdoor furniture is hard wearing, is splinter free due to its very tight grain structure and does not succumb to rot, fungus infestation or invasion by horrid little bugs.
