Wooden Garden Light Bollards: Naturally beautiful
Wooden garden bollards are ideal if you garden by the sea or are lighting a marine environment. These garden lights created using teak are elegantly stylish and incredibly durable, if you’ve been searching for garden lighting that stands out from the crowd, you’ve found it.
The fact that teak has been the timber of choice for boat decks should tell you all you need to know about its durability. Incredibly close grained, it will remain good looking and functional for 75 years or more; the light source might not live for so long! It’s not only the close graining that gives teak its durability; the high levels of resinous oils contained within the wood repel both water and insects, and its natural silica content prevents fungal attack.
Most of us regard our garden as a sanctuary, a place to go for quiet meditation or relaxation and wooden garden lights enhance this feeling of having found a safe harbour. No bright colours or brash metal, the wood of these garden lights blends seamlessly into the surroundings especially when it has faded to pale silvery-grey. It will be difficult but to get the elegant rustic look of faded teak you must refrain from doing any maintenance on the wood at all! Change the bulb, check the electrics, but leave the wood alone life’s tough isn’t it? If, however, you prefer the glossy honeyed sheen of new teak, you will have to gird your loins and oil your wooden garden lamps once every year or two. It seems that, with teak, the beauty is effortless, no hard work required.
