How can I protect indoor wood furniture from outdoor elements?
Me and my friends want to revamp my patio with a few chairs and tables.We were wondering if there was a way we can take indoor wood furniture and condition it so it can be protected from outdoor elements.
In general wooden furniture doesn't do well outside unless it is made from teak, cypress and heart redwood.
It is very difficult to completely seal the wood from moisture specially at glue joints and on the bottom of feet. Also the glue used is not water resistant or water proof.
If the patio is covered so there is no direct way for water to get to the furniture, you might get it to last for a few years.
The single biggest problem is water wicking up into the wood from contact with the ground, concrete, bricks or patio stones. The other problem is glue failure at joints and on any veneers or plywood that may be on or in the furniture.
