I like the Saranac Chaise. Designed by Frederic Spector, it's fitted with a four-position backrest and three-way under-knee support. Wheels make it easy to move from lawn to poolside, and a pull-out tray holds snacks, beverages or reading material. Ecologically farmed teak will withstand rain, snow and sun. Assembly required; $1,499.

Shower caddies aren't just for college students who need a way to tote their things back and forth to their dorm rooms, This Teak Shower Caddy is an elegant bathroom accessory that is sure to be useful in the bathroom. Measuring 13"W x 25"H x 5"D, the caddy can hold all of your shower supplies with ease and won't rust, discolor or warp with time. The teak is mildew resistant and is sealed with a natural oil, which enhances the color of the wood. No assembly is required and you don't need any hooks or other special attachments, as the caddy simply loops over the showerhead. Price: $90.

The Spirit Song Bench has a look that is even more beautiful than its name. Made of teak, it could coordinate with your new barbecue tools, but it is actually made to be eco-friendly (using durable, enviornmentally sound materials) and evoke the rippling of running water. Its unique look won the Design Excellence Award at the International Casual Furniture Show for designers Barbara and Robert Tiffany. There are two versions of the bench available, one straight and one curved. The curved bench is slightly larger and slightly more expensive, but the addition of the curved seat really adds to the flow of the bench in an appealing way. Price: $4,990.

We're down to the wire on our Father's Day gifting, so today's gift idea is something that you might be able to pick up while out shopping. If not, well, be sure to include a nice card and maybe Dad will forgive you for sending his present late. This Teak Grill Tools Set is from Williams-Sonoma. It includes all the basics for grilling, like tongs, a spatula, meat fork and silicone-bristled basting brush, which is heat resistant. Each of the tools is made from a single piece of stainless steel and the extra-long handles are of smooth, shaped teak. The set comes in an attractive tool box. Pair this set ($69) with the matching Teak Barbecue Skewers ($35) and a pair of Teak Salt and Pepper Shakers ($29), and Dad will be grillin' in style all summer long.

There is a growing popularity for salt-water pools, as I noticed while watching an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Some people are interested in them for the beauty or the feel, perhaps even the slight smell of the sea, though the women on that show were interested in protecting their dyed hair color. Regardless of why you have one, you can't sit around covered in salt all day, so an outdoor shower is the perfect way to clean up and refresh yourself after a swim. The Providence Outdoor Shower is elegant, hand-built from sustainably harvested teak that will last for up to 25 years. It is a bit more upscale, in terms of appearance, than the Serpentine Outdoor Shower and makes a great patio accessory, especially if you already have some teak outdoor furniture. Price: $440.

Working over a grill can take you away from guests at a backyard cookout, since heat and smoke are not generally what people want to gather around. Of course, if you have an electric cook-top built into your table, you avoid all the downsides of grilling, while everyone can pitch in and prepare delicious food together. The Cook-N-Dine tables, like this Dawson Teak Table, all have a stainless steel cooktop embedded in their center. During operation, the electric cooking surface on the table can heat up to temperatures of 430F and also sinks down slightly due to a patented process as it cooks the food. The outside of the table, the dining area, is completely unaffected by the cooking process. While Cook-N-Dine makes tables that are all metal, this table is one that is a modified version of a design by Ascot Teak. It comes in two heights, 30 and 40-inches, and is 59-inches in diameter. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors, so you'll be able to make the most of your table year round, not just during the summer grilling season. Prices (on sale) starts at $3922.
