This guide compares the main options honestly: teak and why grade matters so much, acacia and eucalyptus as strong value hardwoods, cedar for lightweight and stable seating, and pressure treated softwood as the economical route for benches and larger structures. It also covers iroko and balau as heavy duty alternatives, the woods that should never be used outdoors, and how a coastal or exposed site changes the calculation entirely. There is straightforward advice on annual cleaning, when oiling actually helps, winter storage, and how cost per year of service often favours hardwood over repeated cheaper replacements in a UK garden. There is also guidance on reading construction quality rather than species alone, since outdoor furniture almost always fails at the joints first, plus what to look for in fixings, joinery and the way the feet are finished."}
