I am planning to build a patio set, sofa + table, as for material, teak would be nice, but the price is really insane now, about $50 BF.
So here is the question, if I go with oak (about $5 BF, ten time less than teak), and finish it with outdoor proof coating, will that be a problem?
I built a pool side chest last year using cedar, and the mold is out of control after about 4 months.
and a side question, is there any good place I can get nice outdoor cushions?
Thanks
