Ready to refresh your outdoor furniture for the season? 🪵✨
Don’t replace it—rejuvenate it! Staining your outdoor wood furniture is a perfect weekend project that adds beauty and provides a durable, UV-resistant coating to protect your pieces from the elements.
Follow these four steps to get the best results:
Prepare the Surface: Make sure your furniture is clean and bone-dry. Remove any mold or mildew with a quality cleaner before you start.
Sand it Smooth: Use coarse sandpaper to smooth out the surface and work with the grain. If the old finish is in bad shape, you may want to use a stain remover to get down to the bare wood.
Apply Your Stain: Using a brush, apply your chosen exterior stain in the direction of the wood grain.
Dry & Maintain: Allow the furniture to dry in a clean, well-ventilated area away from dust and debris.
Whether you want to show off the natural grain or opt for a solid color to hide imperfections, we have the Benjamin Moore Woodluxe® products you need to get the job done right.
Stop by the store, and we’ll help you pick the perfect color and opacity for your project!
