What should I treat my wooden garden furniture with?

Green Cuprinol. thats my choice but any shade you like. Choose a fine day, bit difficult at moment, but do not treat when damp otherwise you are sealing moisture in. Mind your patio slabs for stains. When its dry finish it with a fine coat of clear matt varnish. It'll last for years. If there are any metal nuts etc in contact with the wood give it a quick spray of WD40 in these areas

Reply:Listen very carefully, DO NOT use Thompsons!!! Most of the other answers suggested an oil like teak/cuprinol. These are fine for that look. However, if you like a painted look(more apt to last longer than an oil), consider a exterior "stain" which applies like a paint. More pigment in a product will make your furniture last longer. and always, do ALL sides and especially any part that comes into contact with the surface its sitting on. You will not get this advice at any big box store!.
Reply:Thompsons waterproof agent.


used it on the deck for years. Great product and not too time consuming. Do it early and can enjoy the furniture again by dinner time.
Reply:The best way is Teak Oil every year at the end of the season. That way you should get many years out of them.


Hope this has helped.

Reply:depends on if it is natural wood or painted , most Paint stores will have something for patio furniture , if you use the annual waterproofing thing , sand the feet smooth and apply a generous amount to the bottoms as well , most people never do anything to the ends of the wood or the bottom of the feet and that is the part that is mostly in water , also ACE hardware will carry a good line of products designed just for the type of wood it is made of such as teak oil , danish oil , etc. those specialty oils work great .
Reply:definately use a water seal like thompsons . good luck .
Reply:Depends on what kind of look you want. If you want it completely water-proof and shiny you can use Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane http://www.minwax.com/products/protectiv... If you'd like a more natural look then I'd suggest going with one of the Thompson products http://www.thompsonswaterseal.com
Reply:I use teak oil, looks like knew when it's done!
Reply:care and respect....ok ... just a water seal "like thompsons or something
Reply:Cuprinol Shades is good. It is made specifically for garden furniture. There are traditional colours as well as some funkier newer ones. Its' cover is good and it lasts well. I bought mine at B%26amp;Q, after some searching in various DIY stores. They had the largest range of colours.





Don't use any oils (eg. teak oil), creosote or creosote substitute, as it will come off on clothes.
Reply:Look for Milsak, sold near the Endust and Pledge. Wal-Mart carries it. It works wonders to keep all wood in good condition and soaks in pretty easily. It also doubles to keep stainless steel clean. Comes in a lovely Holiday spice scent to keep the house smelling fresh all year, everyday. I think there is also an Orange and Lemon scent if you prefer. Sold for less than $5 for about 16 oz but lasts a long time.





If it its for a swingset, shed or large outdoor item you might like Flood brand w/ water repellant. It adds a slight mellowing brownish, wet soaked-in rain look to unfinished wood. It is easy to apply. Sold in 1 gallon for about $25 but it goes a long way.
Reply:I like the look of weathered wood, so if it's teak or redwood, I leave it bare and touch up rough spots with a little sand paper. If it's made of pine or "third world" wood, I stain it gray to match the rest. RScott
