The backyard is an extension of our home where we all love to enjoy and entertain, but it doesn’t take long for the elements to take a toll on our outdoor furniture. There are three main ways to protect your outdoor wood furniture:
Painting
Painting outdoor wooden furniture provides excellent protection from water and sun, and can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray based on the item's size and your preference. While it hides the natural wood grain, paint comes in a wide range of colors and finishes to match various outdoor styles.
Sealing
Lasting for several years, sealing is a dependable method for protecting your outdoor wooden furniture. Sealing allows for the beauty of the wood to shine through due to its clear coating. If you are going to use this method, please give yourself and the sealing enough time to apply the sealant and the time for it to cure.
Varnishing
Exterior varnish enhances the natural beauty of wood while providing UV resistance and a glossy finish, though it typically requires more frequent reapplication than polyurethane. Marine or spar varnish is ideal for outdoor use, offering superior waterproofing and durability in damp conditions.
From a small wood sign to a swing set or large gazebo, it’s important to protect woods from all the outdoor elements. Get more information on this topic by reading the full blog below.
