Protection!
The three principle (natural) threats to your teak and hardwood patio furniture are:
MOLDS
Mold fungi, which cause no damage to the wood other than unsightly discoloration, are typified by their colored spores (usually green or black). Differentiating between mold fungi and decay fungi is important because decay fungi actually weaken the wood structure. Brown rot, the most destructive type of deterioration caused by decay fungi, is typified by darkening and shrinking of the wood, with eventual crumbling in advanced stages of decay.
MILDEW
Mildew is a common term used to describe both mold fungi and their discoloration to unfinished wood. Besides causing an unsightly appearance, spores from mold fungi can cause allergies and other health concerns.
UV
Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun. Infrared, the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, has a negative effect on your wood furniture.
