However to enhance the grain with a golden finish simply apply golden teak sealer once a year. Teak won mans respect due to its mechanic values and became the favourite wood of the most prestigious naval constructors for being able to resist the most extreme weather conditions: salt, sun, snow and rain. Hence, teak can be left out all year round. Instead of weather conditions destroying your teak furniture, it will in fact work in its favour.
