Maintenance Tips

• Apply a Protective Sealant Annually – To protect the wood from weathering and maintain its beauty, apply a UV-resistant, water-repellent sealant every year. This helps prevent cracking, fading, and damage from moisture.

• Regular Cleaning – Clean the bench with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as they can damage the wood’s finish.

• Inspect & Tighten Hardware – Periodically check the screws, bolts, and joints to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the bench’s structural integrity.

• Sand Rough Areas – Over time, the wood may develop rough spots or splinters. Lightly sand these areas with fine-grit sandpaper to maintain a smooth and comfortable seating surface.

• Reapply Stain or Finish – Refresh the protective stain or finish every few years to maintain the wood’s color and resilience. This also adds an extra layer of protection against outdoor elements.

• Store or Cover During Harsh Weather – To extend the life of your bench, cover it with a weatherproof furniture cover or store it in a sheltered location during extreme weather conditions like snow, rain, or intense sun.

• Monitor for Pests – Cedar naturally resists pests, but it's still a good idea to check for any signs of wood-boring insects or damage, especially if the bench has been exposed to wet conditions.

• Elevate & Keep Dry – Ensure the bench is placed on a level, well-drained surface to avoid water accumulation, which could cause the wood to degrade over time.
