Maintenance Tips

• Apply a Protective Sealant Annually – To preserve the natural beauty of the red cedar and protect it from UV rays, moisture, and wear, apply a UV-resistant, water-repellent sealant each year. This will help prevent cracking and fading.

• Regular Cleaning – Clean the bench using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers, which can damage the wood. Regular cleaning helps maintain the bench’s appearance and longevity.

• Inspect & Tighten Hardware – Check the hardware (screws, bolts, and joints) regularly to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the stability and safety of the bench.

• Sand Rough Spots – Over time, the wood may develop rough areas or splinters. Lightly sand any rough spots with fine-grit sandpaper to keep the bench smooth and comfortable for seating.

• Reapply Stain or Finish – Every few years, refresh the protective stain or finish to maintain the wood's natural color and added protection. This will also help preserve the wood’s integrity against outdoor elements.

• Cover or Store During Harsh Weather – To extend the life of the bench, cover it with a weather-resistant furniture cover or store it in a sheltered space during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or intense heat.

• Monitor for Pests – While cedar naturally resists insects, it’s a good idea to check for any signs of insect infestation, especially after long exposure to moisture or damp conditions.

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