Gosh it does seem a very long way off to when we might just be able to dig out those garden loungers! In my mind it doesn’t seem hard to conjur up memories of hot smmer days, lazing out in the garden with eyes shaded and a little side table holding my drink of the moment. But come October, as soon as the warmth disappears, to be replaced by all that rain and windy weather, everything gets taken down, loungers folded, table dismantled and into the shed they go. Though last year I did have time to swab mine down again. . . all those soft drinks that were spilt over the hot carefree and careless summer days! I do like to give my teak deck loungers a really good hand wash down. Once dried the teak is then brushed down again and teak oil preservative is applied in nice even strokes. I love doing that job, excepton the chairs with lots of spindles in the back straits. The cushions have to be taken indoors for safe keeping. Can’t put those in the shed in the winter time. I am struggling to recall when we took pocession of this fantastic set of table and chairs we also use in the garden if there is food to be had. Same treatment though. Brush down then apply teak wax.
