Caring for wooden furnitureAs a natural product, wood requires special care to keep it in good condition and extend the life of the product.Pressure Treatment - If your product is treated, it is recommended to apply a cut end preserver if you cut, notch or drill the timber in any areas. This will ensure the treatment remains effective.Wood Preservation - We recommend that you apply a wood preservative to unpainted wood every year to maintain the finish of your furniture and ensure it lasts longer. This can be neutral or stained.Weatherproofing - A wax or oil-based weatherproofing finish will also provide stabilisation against shrinking and welling of the wood as moisture-levels vary and so is recommended to protect against extreme weather.Covering your furniture - If you are not going to be using your furniture for a period of time, we suggest using a cover to keep it protected from the elements.Painting your furniture - Painted furniture will need repainting every 12-24 months, depending on location and conditions. We suggest sanding down before painting to ensure a good finish.
