Teak, also known as Tectona Grandis, is a tall, straight deciduous tree that grows with buttressing stems and a large crown. Teak is native to South East Asia and its natural distribution goes from the Indian subcontinent through Myanmar and Thailand to Laos. We do not know if the teak stands in Indonesia are native or the result of early cultivation by the Hindu settlers, quite possibly as early as the 7th century.

Since the Middle Ages it has been used in ship building. Its durability and natural oils made it a perfect choice for the construction of ocean going vessels. Teak oil also creates a resistance to splitting and cracking and wards off termites and other insects.

When people are asked about what they think about aluminum patio furniture, their answers can sometimes be less than flattering. Some think that it is too flimsy. Others think that it is easily breakable while some just say that it is think it is unattractive and how they would never buy it for their outdoor space. However, these people are all sadly mistaken because in the past, that might have been the case, but now outdoor furniture made from aluminum is extremely heavy-duty and appealing to the eye, which really makes it an ideal way to furnish any outdoor area.
