Summer allows you to spend more time outdoors! Some people can’t imagine a weekend evening without barbecue and company, others retire with loved ones in the yard or garden, enjoying the silence after a very busy work week. No matter how strong each of us is, we need rest, otherwise signs of burnout quickly appear. A private house is always a lot of worries, but this is also a huge advantage, because you have your own yard, garden, perhaps a source of water and, of course, here you are the rightful owner.
By organizing a gazebo or canopy in the yard, outdoors, the owners usually create an area for a certain type of activity, reading, rest, or eating. To create an atmosphere in the gazebo, many often use interior or plastic furniture, as for open terraces. But doing so, you discover the disadvantages of these solutions - they are not intended for the garden. Garden benches, tables, stands for plants, perhaps equipment for a hammock, or something else - can have a different design and scale, since the space is not limited by walls or the size of the room where everything should fit, here your creative imagination is not limited by anything, you can allocate as much space as you want.
Garden furniture is usually made of wood. It is a beautiful, durable and light material, it is pleasant to touch, it does not heat up in the sun to critical temperatures in hot weather, and does not freeze the touched parts of the body in cold weather. Its appearance, if the surface is used quite actively, can be easily updated with improvised means, which are as environmentally friendly as the wood itself.
Speaking of wood protection products, several groups of paints and varnishes can be effective decorative protective products for treating wooden products, buildings, fences and structures used outside.
- water-based, oil-based, alkyd-based wood glazes
- water-based and alkyd-based wood varnishes
- oil for wooden garden furniture
- and even decking oil.
How to choose the right product? - Water-based glazes and varnishes for wood have an extremely diverse palette of colors and are easily tinted according to the RAL palette, and glazes perfectly tolerate seasonal temperature and humidity changes, and varnishes are resistant to mechanical abrasion and wear. Alkyd-based varnishes better tolerate mechanical damage and prolonged exposure to water. Terrace oil is the most universal, cheap and practical product, since it can be used to periodically renew the protection over the old layer, even on damaged areas, and you will hardly notice the boundaries of the old and new coating.
Нthe best product for garden furniture is still oil for garden furniture! Its coating is more durable than deck oil, it tolerates outdoor use better than varnish, as it has an alkyd component, but the oil penetrates deeper into the wood tissue, and it is more resistant to wear and tear than glaze. Its disadvantage may be a relatively high price, but we will reveal a professional secret to you: a real wood craftsman does not use a universal product everywhere, he chooses products specialized for certain types of work and skillfully alternates them. So, oil for wooden garden furniture is one of the secrets why the products processed by craftsmen last longer and look better 🙂, and in addition, this is a high-quality product that meets the most current European environmental standards today!
