Teak garden furniture – Loungers and steamers

Ever thought about increasing your teak garden furniture collection to include a lounger or steamer?

You might already have tables and chairs for eating and drinking outside, but if you haven’t got anything suitable for sunbathing, then now is the time to add to your teak garden furniture collection. A sun lounger or steamer from Patio-Furniture LLP will look great in any garden and they need little or no maintenance.

When you’re deciding what sort of chair to get for sunbathing there are certain factors you should consider. Steamers get their name from the traditional chairs used on the early Atlantic cruise liners. They generally curve downwards at the foot, unlike loungers which are flat, and have adjustable positions. Sun loungers tend to be designed to lie flat, also with a number of different positions.

The advantage of sun loungers and steamers is that they are both solidly built and quite easy to move around, because they are made with slats of wood rather than one solid piece of wood. We also sell loungers and steamers with wheels, which provide added manoeuvrability. This means that when the sun moves you can move too, to either be in the sun or out of it. For the height of luxury, why not choose a lounger with a moveable tray attached for your drink?

Teak garden furniture – easy care

The joy of our teak loungers and steamers, like all our teak garden furniture is that they don’t need much looking after and they will still look good. Teak is a highly durable, dense, close-grained hardwood. It contains silica which makes it resistant to fungal decay, water, rotting, warping, shrinking, swelling and many chemicals. It also contains naturally high levels of resinous oil that acts as an insect repellent and allows it to be resistant to moisture and the drying effects of weather. This gives it an edge over other types of garden furniture because you can leave it outside or near a poolside and not worry about it getting wet.

Once you’ve decided which sun lounger or steamer is right for you, you should think about whether you want a cushion for it and if so, what colour. At Patio Furniture we stock a wide range of high quality cushions ready for immediate delivery. For the steamers and loungers some come with detachable headrests for added comfort. All the cushions are machine washable and are made from 100% rot and fade resistant polyester.
