Bamboo
Technically, bamboo is considered grass, not wood, but it's so durable and strong that it gets classified as wood. Bamboo furniture is very popular because it's light but sturdy and has a beautiful natural color that blends into any décor.
Bamboo is more affordable than teak or cedar because, like any other grass, it grows quickly and is very easy to get more of. Bamboo needs very little maintenance other than a wash with soap and water once and awhile to keep it gleaming and clean. If you want to turn you your patio in an outdoor retreat adding bamboo patio furniture can help create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus patio furniture isn't widely available yet but more and more garden and patio furniture sellers are starting to carry it. Eucalyptus wood is very similar to teak in strength and durability, and it even has a similar color.
The big difference is that eucalyptus wood furniture costs about half of what teak furniture costs because eucalyptus grows faster and is much easier to get than teak. So if you love the look and durability of teak but can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on outdoor furniture then you should look around until you find a seller that has some eucalyptus wood furniture in stock.
Oak
There are mainly two types of oak used to manufacture patio furniture - Chinese Oak and Red Oak. Red oak is a high quality wood but more manufacturers use Chinese Oak because it is naturally resistance to fungi, rotting, and cracking.
Furthermore, most of the Chinese Oak used for patio furniture is kiln dried which makes it almost guaranteed not to twist or splinter from the severe heat from the sun. Chinese Oak is a very affordable alternative to some of the other hardwood mentioned. Chinese Oak grows fast and is easy to harvest therefore Chinese Oak patio furniture is something that most people can afford even if they have limited budget.
The one thing that wooden patio furniture has in common is that it all can get very expensive depending on the type of patio furniture that you're buying and where you are buying it.
