- Low back rail
- Saga, Tora
- Full backrest
- Per, Valter
- Armrests
- Otto, Folke
Does teak need oiling?
No. Left alone, it weathers to silver-grey.
Our teak is A-grade plantation teak, bought as FSC-certified timber and slatted so rain drains through. Untreated, it turns an even silver-grey and lasts. If you prefer the warm honey tone, oil it once a year. Wash it in spring with water and a soft brush.
- Teak
- Saga, Per, OttoA-grade, FSC timber
- Olefin cushion
- Tora, Valter, FolkeOat or Dusk
Can the cushions stay out?
A shower is fine. Long rain and winter, bring them in.
Our cushions are Sunproof Fontelina olefin, 100% solution-dyed, with a weathering fastness of 7 to 8 and OEKO-TEX Standard 100. The fabric dries quickly, but the foam inside lasts longer kept dry. Covers lift off; wash with mild soapy water and air-dry on edge.
How do I look after it?
Once a year, in spring. Never a pressure washer.
Wash teak with water, mild soap and a soft brush; wipe powder-coated steel with a damp cloth. Bring the cushions in for long rain and winter. A pressure washer can damage both teak and the powder coat, so leave it in the shed.
