Finishing Tips
A surface coating is vital for the protection of your furniture. Treatment should be applied at least
once or twice a year. During application, particular care should be given to the ends of the wood
parts and any joints. Furniture that will be used in environments where more extreme climate
conditions exist, require additional treatment considerations.
Look for a product that is recommended for outdoor furniture. There are two key ingredients
available in various finishes that will extend the life of your product: UV inhibitors and anti-fungal
inhibitors, sometimes also referred to as mildewcides.
In wetter, temperate climates look for finishes with high anti-fungal inhibitor content. This will
help minimize moisture damage from mold and mildew. This is available as a component of a
finish or as an additive. UV inhibitors will help minimize premature aging and cracking in all
climates. Your finishing supplier can provide additional information.
General Maintenance
In general, keep the following points in mind:
•
Your GardenWood furniture should be protected from severe weather and stored under
cover during the winter.
•
Untreated furniture will turn color and develop cracks. A light sanding can restore the
original color after which a surface coating should be applied.
•
The hardware is anodized steel or brass. Both are rust resistant and will not stain the
wood.
•
Inspect the hardware occasionally and tighten when necessary.
For Unfinished Furniture
The appearance of wood will deteriorate when left outside. A surface coating is vital in protecting it
from premature darkening or splitting, when exposed to weather. The finish should be regularly
maintained to ensure that the wood is protected from moisture and the furniture continues to look
its best.
