I am not sure this is the right place for this topic.
Anywho i am in the market for a teak patio set. To be honest i kinda figured i would build the stuff myself.
I built a pretty elaborate garden and patio last spring summer and fall. Now spring in New England and i really want someplace to sit and relax.
Anyway the point. I am looking at Gloster teak furniture. As far as teak furniture goes it is supposed to be the cream of the crop. However i figured this out while kicking tires today at a local retailer. It is all constructed with dowels and screws, no glue!
My biggest concern in buying teak furniture is it being crazy expensive then the construction being sub par and it falling apart. Hence my intention originally to make the stuff myself.
Being i don't want to wait till next year i am considering buying this Gloster brand stuff. My thought is i could glue the dowels and joints when i assemble the stuff. On the other hand i wonder is it maybe better for some reason not to glue the joints. If so i cant see what but what do i know. I know to use WesT System G3 with teak but maybe for reasons unknown to me this furniture is better off not being glued?
So would you all buy or build the furniture.
