The Vineyard aged teak outdoor bench has a natural look that is rustic in appearance thanks to the use of reclaimed teak. The look is very fashionable.
The bench is completely made from reclaimed teakwood that has been reclaimed from old houses and buildings. Re-milled and repurposed for outdoor furniture.
It has a strong presence by virtue of its thick plank effect, and trestle style legs. The mighty length of the bench matches the Vineyard 230cm reclaimed teak table.
The bench is manufactured to have a visually bold effect. All parts of the bench as viewed are solid wood. The top perimeter of the bench has a thickness of 5cm. The inner planks are 2cm thick.
This bench has a natural unstained finish.
PLEASE NOTE : Because the wood is from reclaimed sources, there can be minor imperfections (normally knots) in the timber. Where these exist, during the manufacturing process, these are often removed and a wood plug inserted. This looks like a small rectangular piece of timber inserted in to the slat. This technique is common with reclaimed timber and regarded as normal.

Characteristics of teak
The Vineyard collection uses "rustic" looking reclaimed timber slats that have an intentionally imperfect appearance.
Teakwood is a natural material and fine cracks in the end grain of components, e.g. legs and laminated tops, may appear due to changes in temperature and humidity and the consequent change in moisture content of the wood. Small fissures will open in the end grain, this is known as checking. This is normal, especially in heavier components and it will not affect the serviceability of your furniture.
Left to age naturally outside, teak will gradually change from its original colour to a soft, silver-grey as the pigments in the surface layer of the wood begin to fade away.
We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally this way and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with Teak Cleaner to remove accumulated dirt.

Materials:
Teak - Tectona Grandis
High quality reclaimed teak wood planks are used in the manufacture of this outdoor dining table. Over time it will naturally age to a silver colour.
Being a high quality hardwood, it will ensure long term use in our extreme NZ seasons.
Product Care:
Teak: no particular care is required, unless if you want to keep the origianl hue. In this case, regularly oil the table with a suitable high quality teak wood stain/preserver.
If dark, black patches develop on the teak surface, this is due to the growth of mold on the table. This can happen if the table is in an area where there is a lot of tree growth and mold spores are present in the air. If the table stays wet for a period of time, the mold spores can grow in these damp conditions. It is not a sign that the wood is rotting. Treatment can be effected by cleaning with a mild bleach solution. Alternatively, it can be sanded off.
In case of manufacturing or material faults, Poynters will repair or replace this furniture free of charge within a period of 2 years from the date of purchase, for domestic use. Note that all damage caused by normal wear and tear, improper or unreasonable use or improper maintenance are not covered by this warranty. Unless otherwise stated, cushions are excluded from this warranty.
