Linseed oil is inexpensive and widely available,apply in the spring and just about now.
Reply:clean it stain it every other summer.
Reply:Watco has a wipe-on oil specifically for teak. You can put it on as often as you want, depending on how fast the piece is drying out. I used it on a bathroom vanity I made and left the can with the customer. I would say as a rule of thumb, it's good to apply the oil with the change of seasons. There is a photo of the piece on my site.
Reply:IF YOU can afford teak wood garden furniture, you can have a professional cabinet man apply a coat of marine grade acrylic every few years
Reply:Use a good quality Danish Oil (eg Rustins) .... at least twice ayear .... but carefully read instruction on back of can about disposing of the oily rag !!!! because it can, sometimes, self combust/ignite !!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:You need to oil it regularly with a specialist oil - try B%26amp;Q or similar or garden center and take it in in winter to qavoid wet and frost
Reply:There are two ways. 1) as above which will keep it looking brownish and 'new'. and 2) Just leave it out in all weathers and it will acquire a silvery protective coating all by itself, which you should not attempt to rub off. I find this the most attractive look. The choice is yours.
