Pair it with Saltholm dining chairs in teak and black and white striped fabric, cushions included.

Teak

Skargaarden uses only high-grade teak (Tectona grandis) from carefully managed plantations. Teak is a dense hardwood, rich in natural oils, which makes it one of the most durable woods for outdoor use. It needs no preservatives or treatment to last, and every piece is sanded and polished before it leaves the factory.

Left outside, teak slowly turns a soft silver-grey as the surface oils evaporate. The oil deeper in the wood stays, and that is what keeps it strong. Small surface cracks or water marks can appear in the first months; these even out as the wood weathers to an even grey.

• A little rough after rain? When the furniture is used outside and gets wet, the surface of the teak becomes slightly rough. This is a natural process: a light sanding makes it smooth again, and it usually only needs doing once or twice in the beginning.
• Do not oil teak that stays outdoors. Oil does not make it last longer, can encourage mildew and leads to patchy colouring. Oil is only worth using on teak kept indoors.
• Rinse with a garden hose and wash now and then with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Never use a pressure washer.
• To keep the original honey colour, clean the wood with a teak cleaner, let it dry, then apply a thin layer of teak sealer. Repeat about once a year. Do not use sealer on new teak.
• Teak can stay outside all year, but it ages best if it spends the winter under a breathable cover or in an unheated shed.

Outdoor fabrics

Skargaarden's outdoor fabrics are solution-dyed: the colour is added while the fibres are made, so it runs right through every fibre rather than sitting on the surface. This makes them highly UV-resistant, so they keep their colour in the sun, and they come with a minimum 5-year warranty. Fabrics woven with recycled fibres can vary slightly in colour.

• Brush off dirt regularly before it works into the fabric, and deal with spills straight away.
• Blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub. For oily spills, sprinkle on corn starch to absorb it, then scrape it off.
• For stains, spray on a mild soap solution, work it in gently with a sponge or very soft brush, rinse thoroughly and let the fabric air dry.
• The fabrics do not grow mildew themselves, but it can grow on dirt left on them. To remove it, mix about 250 ml bleach and 60 ml mild soap in 4 litres of water, spray over the whole area, leave for 15 minutes, clean with a sponge or soft brush, rinse well and air dry. Treat the whole surface to avoid water rings.

Winter storage

• Store the furniture indoors, or cover it with a breathable cover. A cover that is fully airtight traps moisture and can cause mould.
• Leave a small gap between the cover and the ground so air can circulate.
• Store the cushions separately, indoors and out of reach of pests.

Warranty

• 2-year guarantee under EU consumer law, covering manufacturing defects.
• Natural weathering of teak (greying, roughening of the grain, small surface cracks) is part of the material's character and is not a defect.
