Planning a deck, bench, or backyard build? There’s a reason teak has been trusted for centuries in boat building, furniture design, and outdoor construction. At BodhiSol Teak, we bring you plantation-grown teak lumber that’s naturally resistant to moisture, bugs, and decay—without sacrificing beauty. If you're considering an outdoor project, teak should be at the top of your list.

Unmatched Durability for All Seasons

Teak has a natural resistance to water, making it ideal for climates that get rain, snow, or extreme sun. It doesn't warp or crack easily and requires very little maintenance. Even untreated, teak weathers to a soft silver-gray that looks timeless in any landscape.

Our slabs are plantation-grown in Costa Rica and hand-selected for quality, so you can feel confident putting them to use in outdoor furniture, privacy walls, patio seating, and more.

Built-in Pest Resistance

Termites and insects? Not a problem. Teak contains natural oils and resins that repel most pests—meaning your outdoor project will last longer without the need for chemical treatments. If you're building garden beds, fencing, or outdoor countertops, that peace of mind is priceless.

We recommend our Premium Grade S4S teak slabs for pieces with a refined finish.

A Natural Beauty That Ages Gracefully

From golden brown to silvery patina, teak evolves with the seasons. You can oil it to preserve its golden glow or let it fade naturally—either way, it’ll look incredible year after year. Teak’s tight grain and buttery texture also make it easy to work with, whether you're building a bench or a backyard bar.

Sustainably Sourced, Shipped to Your Door

Our teak isn’t just strong—it’s responsible. At BodhiSol Teak, we work with plantations that follow ethical harvesting practices, ensuring long-term environmental stewardship. We proudly offer nationwide shipping, so your next outdoor project can start no matter where you’re located.

When it comes to outdoor builds, teak is a cut above the rest—and with BodhiSol Teak, you get beautiful, responsible lumber delivered with care.
