In its natural form as an organic material, wood naturally deteriorates over time. This is because of its tendency to absorb water and provide plenty of nooks and grooves for bacteria to grow and start breaking the wood down.
Wood treatment or finishing is the process that is used to prolong the life of your wooden items and is necessary for all products no matter if they are remaining indoors or outdoors. Outdoor furniture, of course, is exposed to far more risks so it’s crucial that it is treated properly so it remains useful.
