teak
Durable deck wood
Teak is a tropical hardwood prized for its durability and water resistance.
The tree is native to South and Southeast Asia.
Teak's golden-brown color and natural oils make it ideal for outdoor furniture, boat decks, and flooring: The patio set was solid teak.
It weathers to a silvery gray if left untreated.
