Oak Garden Furniture

Oak is a perfect wood for use with substantial garden furniture. These terrace houses in Oxford have had doors that have stood the test of time.

Benefits of Oak

• Oak is long lasting and matures well into the garden surroundings.
• It matures into a pale grey colour
• Oak doesn’t need oiling or special treatment to be weather proof
• It is a natural resource that has been used in construction for centuries.
• Reclaimed Oak timber can be found at architectural salvage merchants.

Uses of Oak in The Garden

• Benches and seats made of Oak are sturdy and popular.
• Solid square or rectangular blocks can be used for seating or as sculptures. I like those that have been carved with a poetic saying.
• Planters look good made from oak slats. I would not waste expensive Oak on building a raised bed but if it enhances the visual amenity then give it a go.
