Q: Which is the best wood for outdoor furniture? A: Both teak and mahogany are excellent choices for your outdoor furniture needs. Other woods, like pine and red oak, are just fine for indoor use, but cannot stand up to the elements of the great outdoors. Because of deforestation, though, other woods are being harvested now, too, like: balau, eucalyptus, ipe, iroko, jarra, and kempas. These woods are also stable (therefore warp resistant) and rot resistant, fairly hard and fine grained. Other Frequently asked questions: Q: What can I do to make my outdoor furniture last longer? Q: What if I do not have room indoors to store my outdoor furniture during the winter?
