Wooden Garden Furniture Care and MaintenanceYou don’t have to worry about storing your furniture during the bad weather months if you purchase a waterproof cover. Some people do leave their garden furniture out in all kinds of weather without bothering with a cover, which is fine for plastic, and even iron furniture but not for wood. If you leave wooden garden furniture out in the open with no covering during bad weather, then eventually the wood will bleach and swell, spoiling the look of your furniture and affecting the joists. You should purchase a waterproof cover that will fit over the furniture at the same time as you buy your table and chairs. If you want the wood to keep its good looks then at least once a year you should coat it with whatever protective covering is recommended for that type of wood. Teak furniture looks very stylish, but it does need to be treated with teak oil on a regular basis if your want it to keep its good looks. One thing that you will need to look out for as your furniture starts to age is infestation by termites and wood worm. You should treat it with a product that is designed to halt the infestation, which it is possible to do providing you catch it early on. If you find that it is only one piece of a set of furniture that is affected then you may want to consider replacing that piece. Buying one extra chair to replace the one that was infested is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole set, remember that these infestations spread very quickly.
