Wood has always been an excellent material for furniture. Aluminum, wrought iron and plastic all have their advantages, but wooden garden furniture has a warmth that is hard to match. Because wood is a natural material, it needs regular care and protection to keep its attractive appearance and extend its life. If you want the best from your outdoor furniture, you need to maintain it properly. Here are a few simple tips that can help.
How to maintain wooden garden furniture
Manufacturer’s instructions: if you bought the furniture new, it should have come with care instructions from the manufacturer. Read them carefully, follow the advice, and keep the booklet for future reference.
Taking care of wooden furniture in the shed
Covering and storage: if you do not plan to use the furniture for a while, store it in a garage or garden shed so it is not exposed to harsh weather. If storage is not possible, cover the furniture to reduce the effects of sun and rain.

Sunlight and rain: although sun and rain are good for flowers and trees, they are tough on wooden garden furniture. Cover the pieces when they are not in use, especially during rainy periods.
Apply care oil regularly
Protective products: the right treatment depends on the type of wood, whether hard or soft. Before oiling, clean the furniture thoroughly. Care oils refresh the surface and help preserve the look of the wood.
Regular cleaning: an essential step if you want the furniture to look its best. Wipe it with a dry cloth, remove dirt with a stiff brush and water, and most importantly, keep the wood dry.
