Any Out door furniture need to be painted , Teak is not a viable option.
good quality furniture is made of
Oak , Sappeli, 2200 \ Cft
local woods around 1000- 1500 cft
Acacia
Matti \ saaj
Treated Rubber wood 1800 cft
800 - 400Rs
Mango , Ficus and other jungle wood ( predominantly used by Commercial furniture manufacturers, including those that air ads a lot recently)
