HOW TO WATERPROOF WOOD & OUTDOOR FURNITURE
Learn how to waterproof wood for outdoor furniture to withstand what Mother Nature throws at it. This comprehensive guide includes the best ways to protect wood outdoor furniture, the best waterproof wood sealers, and even a step-by-step guide for how to refinish outdoor furniture.
The great outdoors can be rather unpredictable. Fluctuating temperatures, harsh UV rays, heavy rain, and creepy crawlers can all take a heavy toll on outdoor furnishings and stained decks.
Untreated lumber is susceptible to warping, cracking, and rotting when left exposed to the elements. Much like our own skin, sunlight ages wood before its time whereas water attacks wood with fungal growth. Basically, this material can’t catch a break.
There are several methods you can use to protect the wood from outdoor elements. Each has their benefit. I recommend combining several methods for long lasting protection that withstands the test of time:
Paint
Solid Color Stain
Sealers (Penetrating or Top Coat)
Semi-transparent stain and sealer
Bringing it indoors when not in use
Covering it
TYPES OF OUTDOOR WOOD SEALERS
A chemical water sealant preserves the natural look of the timber without covering the grain like paint does. Sealing is essentially a waterproofing method that protects the furniture from moisture and rain but also adds a small amount of UV protection (in some cases).
There are three types of sealants:
Polyurethane sealant. Usually for painted surfaces.
Urethane. These can be oil or water based and used with stains. Read your product label.
Hardening Oils. These include Teak or Tung Oil. I do not recommend linseed, danish, or other oils for longevity.
