Teak is a natural hardwood that expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Small cracks, known as "checking," are a normal part of the wood's aging process and do not affect the strength or durability of your furniture. These minor cracks typically appear on the surface, on edges and may open or close depending on weather conditions.
To minimize checking, we recommend:
- Keeping your teak furniture clean and free of excess moisture.
- Applying a teak protector or shield to help maintain its natural oils.
- Using a tented furniture cover that allows for airflow, preventing trapped moisture that can contribute to wood expansion and contraction.
For more detailed information check out our Care & Maintenance page.
We recommend storing cushions inside or in a dry, covered & rodent-free area during the winter months and using a cushion box to store and protect your cushions when not in use.

It's important to note that our covers are weather-resistant (to allow breathability and prevent mildew) not fully waterproof. While they are designed to protect your furniture from the elements, some water may seep through, especially during heavy rainfall or prolonged exposure to moisture.
To help minimize water penetration, we recommend the following precautions:
- Position cushions upright before covering your furniture – This helps prevent water from pooling on the cushions.
- Ensure the covers are tented – Creating a slight peak or slope allows water to run off instead of collecting on the surface.
- Pay attention to seam placement – Position seams along the arms or back of your furniture rather than across seat cushions or other critical areas.
- Allow for proper airflow – Ensure covers are breathable and not sealed too tightly, as trapped moisture can contribute to condensation and dampness.
We do carry some replacement parts but availably will vary depending on the age of your product. Please email a photo of the part and product to customerservice@hauserstores.com – and we are happy to advise. Unfortunately we cannot make guarantees as parts do get discontinued.
Yes. We can make new cushions for some of our discontinued Hauser collections. If your set is not older than 20 years, please reach out to customerservice@hauserstores.com, for pricing and we can confirm if this is still possible for your furniture. We will need photos and contact information of who the order was purchased under to verify your model. Please note that we do not make casing covers only — we replace the entire cushion.
If we can no longer make cushions for you, we recommend going to any reputable upholsterer in your area. Be sure to request a premium outdoor fabric like Sunbrella.
No, we do not refurbish our older cast aluminum collections. We recommend reaching out to a reputable welding, auto body, or sandblasting shop that can assist with repairs and repainting.
