Australian Conditions with Your Outdoor Teak Furniture

Teak outdoor furniture is very durable and resilient on its own, but in Australia’s diverse and sometimes extreme climate there are tips you will need to know to ensure your furniture is preserved for as long as possible.

Australian summers are notoriously harsh, so you may need to apply sealant or oil more regularly, especially if your furniture is kept in direct sunlight, to avoid losing the furniture’s golden tone. Luckily, sun exposure will not cause any structural damage to teak outdoor furniture making it perfect for Australian conditions.

The severity of Australian winters varies regionally, and while teak is naturally quite resistant to water, overexposure can still cause deterioration and build-up of mildew.

Try to keep your teak outdoor furniture away from areas that generate puddles around the furniture’s legs to avoid overexposure. If the weather is particularly torrential, it may be worth bringing your furniture inside if you have space due to both the rain and high levels of moisture in the air.
