| $570.04 | Teak Wood El Mar Outdoor Bench, 5 Foot
There is nowhere outside for pilgrims to sit and read, quietly pray the Jesus Prayer, or to have outside spiritual talks. After researching various woods that are long-lasting and impervious to borers and to mold/mildew, it seems that a wood called ipe is the best (75+ years), however, it is impossibly expensive. The next best is teak, which is more reasonably priced and will last more than 30 years if cared for properly.
