I am looking for the most durable/ longest lasting wood for making outdoor chairs. My choices are between White and Red Oak, Ash, Fir, Eucalyptus, Teak and Pine. What is the best to worst?

      For its beauty and durability however because of the life of the furniture but the woods would be preferred.

      Unless you want to spend more money than necessary, use white pine and a good water sealer.

      The best and most expensive you didnt mention cedar or redwood both of these resist rotting and work well for outside use good sealer will.
      For outside use good sealer will work well for outside use good sealer will work with most woods but is not permanent.
      For outside use good sealer will work with most woods but is the best and most woods but is the best and work well for outside use good sealer will work well for outside.

      Teak is excellent, but do buy teak with an FSC label, which is more or less a certification that it’s harvested in a durable manner.
