Outdoor wood furniture can be quite an investment – outdoor wood furniture does not always come cheap, but the beauty it can add to your patio and garden is worth more than money. Of course, as an investment, you want to be sure that your outdoor wood furniture lasts, and you therefore must take proper care of it. Here are some tips to help you increase the lifetime of your outdoor wood furniture:

• Take it in – if possible, do not leave your outdoor wood furniture out during the winter months if you live in a non-temperate climate. If you cannot store your outdoor wood furniture indoors try, to place it beneath a porch or overhang and cover it.
• Use protective covers – if you cannot take your outdoor wood furniture in, for the season, or even if you know you will not be using it for a while, cover it! Use waterproof, breathable covers. Check and make sure that water cannot pool up on top of the covers. Do not just use plastic bags – moisture can actually get trapped beneath them, causing your furniture to warp and/or rot.
• Consider the legs – do not just think of the bodies of your outdoor wood furniture, think of the legs. Chair legs and table legs that are left in the grass or at the poolside can become saturated with water. Do not keep your outdoor wood furniture in such moisture-gathering places for extended periods of time. Or, you can cover the bottom of the furniture leg with rubberized material.
• Watch out for chemicals – although most of your focus is likely on the weather and moisture, you should also be aware that exposure to chemicals and other things (solvents, chlorine, flower nectar) can harm your outdoor wooden furniture. Be wary, and if you spill anything on your furniture, be sure to clean it off immediately. Also, avoid keeping plastic on your furniture for extended periods of time – it can stick to it and damage the wood finish.

Depending on the climate you live in and the type of outdoor wood furniture that you have (teak, cedar, pine, etc.), you are going to need to clean and treat it differently. Woods like pine require a lot of care if you want it to last, while outdoor wood furniture made from woods like teak can pretty much take care of themselves.
