**As an outdoor teak furniture exporter based in Jepara, we ship weather-exposed solid teak — dining sets, loungers, benches and daybeds — with marine-grade stainless hardware and rope or synthetic wicker options, packed FOB container from Semarang or Surabaya. Every quote is built per-piece from your item list, not a single fixed price.**
What makes outdoor teak different from indoor teak?
Outdoor teak lives in sun, rain and salt air, so we build it differently. We select grade A heartwood — the dense, oil-rich core (jati) that resists rot far better than the paler sapwood — and kiln-dry to roughly 8-12% moisture content so joints stay tight through humidity swings. Frames use mortise-and-tenon joinery with waterproof adhesive, and every metal fitting is stainless steel rather than plated mild steel that streaks and rusts.
Grade B pieces carry more sapwood and small sound knots, cost less, and suit covered patios or value hospitality projects. What we typically export for garden and poolside buyers:
- Extension and fixed dining tables with stacking or folding armchairs
- Sun loungers, steamers and reclining pool chairs
- Daybeds, sofa-lounge sets and benches
- Planters, bar sets and custom or OEM private-label ranges
How much does outdoor teak furniture cost to export?
Pricing is quote-based per-piece, not one commodity band. No government source publishes FOB prices for Indonesian teak furniture — numbers move with grade, section thickness, finish and how tightly the order cubes out a container. The figures below are indicative examples only, as of 2026 and subject to change, to help you budget before we quote your actual item list from generic Jepara workshops.
| Outdoor piece (example spec) | Indicative FOB example, USD (as of 2026, subject to change) | Moves with |
|---|---|---|
| Stacking armchair, grade A, natural finish | ~85-140 each | Section thickness, order volume |
| Extension dining table 200/300cm, grade A | ~450-780 | Length, leg profile, cubing |
| Sun lounger with wheels, grade A | ~180-320 | Slat count, cushion spec |
| Daybed with canopy, grade A/B mix | ~600-1,100 | Weave, roof construction |
| Slatted garden bench 150cm, grade B | ~120-210 | Grade, backrest detail |
Full-container mixed loads that cube out lower the per-piece landed cost, which is why we blend models rather than quote one line in isolation.
Will the silver-grey patina damage the wood?
No — the silver-grey is cosmetic, not decay. Untreated teak weathers to a soft grey as sun bleaches the surface oils; the wood underneath keeps its strength. If you prefer the honey-brown look, teak sealer reapplied seasonally slows greying, but no finish stops it permanently and we do not guarantee any specific lifespan or weather outcome. Many hospitality buyers let poolside sets grey naturally because it hides water spots and needs almost no upkeep. We supply the furniture and honest care notes; how it ages depends on your climate and maintenance.
Which hardware and weave options hold up outdoors?
Outdoor furniture fails at its fittings before it fails at the wood, so the hardware and seating material matter as much as the teak. These are the options we quote most often:
| Option | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| A2/A4 stainless bolts & hinges | Marine-grade steel that won’t rust-streak the wood | Coastal, poolside, salt air |
| Synthetic (PE) wicker panels | UV-stabilised resin weave over teak or aluminium frame | Lounge sets, resort daybeds |
| Natural-look rope (PP/polyester) | Weather-resistant cord seats and backs | Modern dining and lounge chairs |
| Batyline / sling mesh | Breathable fabric for seats | Loungers, stackable chairs |
How does ordering and shipping work?
- Send your item list. Share a spec sheet or photos via WhatsApp or the quote form — quantities, grade preference, finish and target port.
- Receive a per-piece quotation. We price each line, confirm grade A/B, hardware and container cubing, then send an FOB estimate from Semarang or Surabaya.
- Approve sample and deposit. For custom or OEM/private-label runs we produce a sample or photos for sign-off before bulk production.
- Production and QC. Kiln-drying, joinery, finishing, then a pre-shipment quality check with photos.
- Documents and loading. We prepare export paperwork — including the SVLK V-Legal document, and a FLEGT licence for EU shipments — and send loading photos plus shipping details.
On paperwork: SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) is Indonesia’s mandatory timber-legality system, compulsory for the timber industry since January 2013, and since 1 January 2015 all wooden furniture except bamboo needs a V-Legal export licence. For EU buyers, Indonesia has issued FLEGT licences since November 2016, and FLEGT-licensed goods automatically meet the EU Timber Regulation. From around end-2026 into 2027, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) adds geolocation and due-diligence requirements beyond legality; as forestry and trade authorities have both noted, SVLK or FLEGT alone do not by themselves guarantee EUDR compliance. We prepare the documentation, but acceptance rests with customs and EU authorities — we never sell customs or EUDR certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does outdoor teak furniture need to be treated or oiled before export?
No treatment is required for structural integrity — teak’s natural oils protect it. We can apply teak sealer on request for a honey-brown look, but untreated pieces ship ready to weather grey. Oiling is a buyer preference for appearance, reapplied seasonally after arrival; it doesn’t extend the wood’s life.
Can you supply outdoor teak with cushions and covers for a hospitality order?
Yes. We arrange outdoor cushions in quick-dry foam with UV-resistant fabric and optional covers, quoted as separate lines. Fabric colour, piping and logo options suit resort and villa branding. Cushions add container volume, so we factor them into cubing when we build your FOB quote.
What is the minimum order for outdoor teak furniture export?
Our practical minimum is a mixed container that cubes out — typically a 20ft or 40ft load combining several outdoor models. You don’t need one product in bulk; we blend dining sets, loungers and benches to fill the container efficiently, which also lowers per-piece landed cost. Small trial orders may ship via consolidation.
Which port do you ship outdoor teak from, and how long does production take?
We load FOB from Tanjung Emas (Semarang) or Surabaya, closest to the Jepara furniture hub, with Jakarta available on request. Production for a mixed outdoor container typically runs 6-10 weeks depending on volume, custom work and finishing, plus sampling time for OEM orders. We confirm exact timing in your quotation.
