Keeping Wooden Garden Furniture in its prime


Wooden garden furniture forms an important part of your lush green gardens. It is not only a symbol of comfort but also adds a hint of elegance to the external spaces. Thus, it is very essential to take proper care of your hardwood garden furniture, in order to maintain its beauty and ensure its durability.

To maintain your wood furniture in its prime, it is important that you know the type of wood from which it is made. Considering the climate in your region is also essential. However, there are some basic maintenance tips for your wooden garden furniture that you must follow, irrespective of the climate and type of wood. Here are some tips that will help you keep your hardwood garden furniture intact for years.

When you purchase wooden furniture items, you will be given user manuals which will contain maintenance tips as well. Follow all of these tips since they are given by professionals who have crafted the furniture items. Secondly, whenever you are not using your furniture, ensure it is covered well and stored in a neat and dry place. This prevents unnecessary exposure to dirt and stains that are hard to remove.

Also, it is best to regularly wipe your wooden garden furniture, especially during the rainy season to remove excessive moisture that can seep into the wood and cause damage. All you have to do is to use a dry cloth and swipe it over the furniture item. Sunlight and rain might be healthy for your garden, but they are not recommended for hardwood garden furniture. Keep these furniture pieces away from direct sunlight to ensure they last long without becoming dry and brittle. Coating them periodically with a layer of wax and anti-termite polish will also assure you of its longevity.
