Outdoor chairs are now made of many materials. Plastic, metal, wicker etc., are getting popular among customers, as many designs are made of these materials to produce outdoor chairs. When buying outdoor chairs, many people are hesitant to choose wood over others, as they think wood outdoor furniture would not last long in rapidly changing climatic situations in open areas. 

Nevertheless, wood outdoor furniture is unique. Though they are a little bit more expensive, the elegance wood could give to the environment is better than the furniture that’s made of artificial materials.  When selecting outdoor wood chairs, go for chairs made of teak as they are the best. Teak could tolerate the most rustic weather conditions and still keep its beauty intact. It has a natural resistance against pest and rot and it can be cleaned easily than chairs made of any other wood. 

If you buy outdoor furniture made of wood other than teak, you have to maintain them with extra care very well. As you have to spend a lot of money for wood outdoor chairs, throwing them away after using them a few years is not worth the trouble of buying them in the first place. Whatever the wood they are made of, a little of your constant care can make them last long. Outdoor wood chairs are frequently exposed to agents that could spell disaster in decay before long. They also change when the temperature is high. Too much humidity also can cause harm. Moisture, accidental spills, chemicals, water leakage etc also affect their texture causing them to become discolored and decay. 

Maintenance of outdoor wood chairs varies according to the type of wood they are made of. As mentioned earlier, teak outdoor chairs can tolerate these conditions and keep their brightness for more than 50 years. Just by cleaning them once a year and treating them with some teak oil is enough to keep them looking good. 

Nevertheless, outdoor chairs made of wood such as pinewood should be treated with suitable preservatives to protect them from decaying. There are protective oils and chemicals in the market that you can use on these types of wood to protect them from degenerative agents. The wood chairs you buy would last long or decay fast depending on the region you live. When you buy outdoor wood chairs, select ones that are suitable for the area you live in. Always follow the instructions that come with furniture. Apply protective sealers regularly as well. Though outdoor wood chairs need careful maintaining, they always add value to the environment than chairs made of other synthetic materials such as plastic.
