Outdoor wood furniture offers a stylish look and fits perfectly against the lush green yard. Teak, oak, and pine wood are preferred choices for all the right reasons. Though such furniture requires proper maintenance, it can last for years and will look very chic and elegant. But let’s consider some more pros and cons of outdoor wood furniture before you take a decision.
Pros Of Outdoor Wooden Furniture
While a few wooden pieces of furniture are prone to moisture and termite attack, those constructed for outdoor spaces have natural oils and rubber to prevent this issue. Teak wood makes up for ideal outdoor furniture. Its quality, strength, and robustness make it unbreakable. Besides, slight maintenance will keep it from termite attacks.
Homeowners wanting to buy wooden furniture for their patio should invest in quality wood. Yes, it’ll require them to pay more initial costs, but it’s worth it. Quality wooden furniture will last longer, making it a desirable choice for outdoor furniture.
Someone into aesthetics should buy wooden outdoor furniture without a second thought. The golden-brown color elevates the home exterior. Besides, the shiny and smooth texture accentuates your patio.
Wooden furniture is also customizable. You can add cushions for a more comfortable feel.
The recyclability factor makes it a worthwhile investment.

Cons Of Outdoor Wooden Furniture
Outdoor wooden furniture is not heavy. While this is a plus, given that you can easily move it, this factor makes it prone to movement.
This furniture isn’t an ideal choice for low-maintenance homeowners. Because wooden furniture requires regular maintenance, it’s better to purchase furniture that requires maintenance only occasionally. Wooden furniture, in particular, needs proper maintenance to prevent it from harsh weather and parasitic attacks. For instance, polishing the wooden chairs and tables time and again protects invaders like fungi and termites.
Lastly, we do not recommend wooden furniture to anyone living in an area with frequent rain and snowstorms. Regular rainfall would damage the wood by the end of the day.
