Simple Guide to Waterproofing Outdoor Furniture

From beautiful plants to comforting furniture, you leave no stone unturned when it comes to making your outdoor space look gorgeous. It might surprise you to know that even outdoor furniture requires waterproofing. While they are generally quite durable and are designed to withstand changing weather conditions, waterproofing outdoor furniture is important to prevent any possible damage such as cracks, discoloration, and mould growth. It will only help you improve its longevity and beauty. In this blog, you will learn about waterproofing outdoor furniture and its importance.
How to waterproof balcony furniture made of wood
Wooden furniture such as benches, coffee tables, and chairs often add a classic, traditional touch to your outdoor space. While weathered wood furniture retains its natural charm, if it hasn't already been sealed, you should seal it with a transparent deck stain or lacquer to extend its longevity. To make your coffee table set or wooden outdoor bench with storage waterproof, you can also consider balcony waterproofing techniques for added protection or you can:
- Use linseed or tung oil for a protective hand-rubbed finish.
- Seal the wooden surface using polyurethane, varnish, or a lacquer coat.
- Use a stain-sealant combination to finish and waterproof outdoor chairs at the same time.
You can easily clean your wooden furniture with water and mild dish washing soap once it has been sealed, stained, or lacquered. If you are going to use a specialised coating, make sure to read the cleaning instructions on the back of the bottle. To get the most out of your furniture, reapply your waterproofing lacquer or stain every two to three years. You must also check the manufacturer's instructions for resealing and preserving a waterproof finish if your wood furniture came pre-sealed.
How to waterproof wicker outdoor furniture
It is necessary to waterproof wicker outdoor furniture because all of those tiny woven pieces can seamlessly create space for the water to seep in and start hampering its integrity. Wicker furniture is often made using materials like bamboo, reeds, rattan, or willow. To waterproof rattan garden furniture, you can use a varnish spray to create a barrier. Depending on the instructions provided on the varnish spray you use, you apply multiple coats of the product. While doing this, make sure to wear a mask and do this activity outside after covering the ground with a tarp.
How to waterproof outdoor metal furniture
Metal is the most popularly used material for outdoor furniture such as storage cabinets as well as chairs and tables. It is considered highly durable and can withstand changing weather conditions. However, to ensure that there is no rusting or paint peeling, you must make your table chairs and outdoor metal storage cabinets waterproof. To get rid of any such problems, sand down the finish on your metal furniture using Asian Paints TruStar+ Waterproof Paper and follow by spraying an anti-rust spray paint all over.
How to waterproof fabric for outdoor furniture
When it comes to waterproofing outdoor furniture, you must not limit it to wooden chairs and tables or metal storage facilities. You must also waterproof outdoor cushions and sofa fabrics. Cushions, hammocks, and sofas not only make the space more comfortable but also more appealing. To waterproof outdoor sofa fabrics and cushions, you must spray Scotchgard all over them. Let them thoroughly dry before adding a second layer of spray.
How to waterproof outdoor rugs
You cannot simply waterproof fabric for outdoor furniture if it is something as simple as a rug. What you can do is make sure that it dries out soon after the rain. You must also place it on the pavement, keeping it away from the wooden furniture; otherwise, it can damage the wood decking.
