What to use to treat and protect new wood patio furniture?
Not sure of exactly what type of wood it is. Should we use Teak Oil? Or Thompson’s Water Seal? Or a simple varnish?
Find out what kind of wood it is, & you could get a better answer to your question.
Teak oil is kind of a light coating for an oily wood like teak, similar to Australian Timber oil, they both work great for what they were designed for, & like Thompson’s if you’re leaving the furniture out in the elements as opposed to beneath a covered porch mostly out of the sun you should think of it as a kind of yearly maintainence chore, to be done at the beginning/end of the season.
Even a semi-transparent stain’s not a bad way to go for most wood, just don’t put anything on them that’ll leave enough of a film to require scraping/sanding off to re-do when the time comes, as that increases your job time by a factor of anywhere from 2-4.
