Looking after wooden garden furniture
In winter, it’s best to bring your garden furniture inside if you have space to store it in a cellar, shed or garage. If not, then try to find somewhere to get it off the lawn so that its feet don't stay on soggy ground all winter. Fold it and lean it against a wall (tilting unfoldable items) so that rain runs off. Cover it with tough, well-secured, waterproof covers. Make sure the furniture is completely dry before you cover it.
Treat your wooden garden furniture every year to a good clean and a dose of wood preservative. Hardwood furniture is very durable, but will still benefit from a coating of teak oil or other suitable product. Pine furniture is cheaper and less weather resistant, but it will last a number of years if you treat it regularly. Do this in dry weather, preferably in the autumn before putting the furniture away for storage. Lightly oil any joints and moving parts to keep them flexible.
