Entertaining in Style with Garden Outdoor Furniture

By Alma Contract (Singapore) Pte Ltd

08/24/2015 Some might feel that throwing an ‘Outdoor Party’ in Singapore might seem daunting given our current climate and the unpredictable weather. Yet for most of us, we still spend a considerable amount of time to have BBQ outdoors, relaxing and socializing. From the regular Downtown East BBQ locales, the BBQ pit below our house to our outdoor gardens, we are always having that burning desire to create an outdoor space where we can socialize, have a get together session with our families, sipping wine outdoor like a boss, napping on that lounge bench or just simply enjoying the view. So for those of you who are alright with just going to those regular locales to have your outdoor fun, good for you. However for those who have the space for such functions, we look at some ways that can help you create an outdoor entertainment space in your garden with the right outdoor furniture.
1. Shelter and Shade

2. Comfortable Seating
Tables and chairs are definitely a necessity as most outdoor gathering revolves around these outdoor furnitures. Choices of materials range from teak, wicker to the usual stainless steel mix chairs and tables for the outdoor furniture range. Having to come from a country that is hot all year round, your outdoor furniture needs to be tough and be able to withstand the heat.
Teak

If you are going for Teak Material outdoor furniture, you will need to search for one that is hard-wearing and is able to withstand the climate. Below are some teak outdoor furniture that you may consider for your outdoor table and chair furniture:
Comforteck Folding Chair & Folding Table Picnic Square by Triconville
Triconville’s Teak Outdoor Furniture Collection is made of a close grained hardwood with a high natural oil content. It is highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow. All these characteristics makes it an ideal timber for all outdoor applications. In the market, many other hardwoods are used in the construction of the outdoor furniture and some are even marketed as “teak substitutes”. However, many fail to realize that there is no substitute for teak and no other hardwood can perform the same standards as teak in outdoor conditions.
Wicker
Wicker furniture are mostly hand woven outdoor furniture that are highly flexible, UV and water resistant. Triconville’s Wicker Outdoor Furniture Collection is hand woven with Viro® and Rehau™ fiber which are both premium synthetic Polyethylene fibers.
