Outdoor wood such as fences, garden furniture and sheds can be difficult to maintain. Over time, exposure to sunlight and rain can cause the wood to deteriorate, crack, and warp, reducing its lifespan. That’s why it’s essential to protect the wood properly by using a high-quality wood sealer to keep it looking its best.
That’s where Furniture Clinic Wood Sealer & Protector comes in. This high-performance solution forms an invisible and durable barrier which repels moisture— without changing the natural look or feel of the timber.
Why Outdoor Wood Needs Protection
Outdoor timber faces three main threats:
- Moisture – Rain and snow, can soak in, causing rot, swelling, and splitting.
- UV Damage – The sun’s rays break down lignin in the wood, leading to fading and greying.
- Biological Growth – Algae, mould, and mildew thrive on damp, unprotected surfaces.
Without proper protection, even the highest-quality wood will eventually deteriorate.
Step-by-Step: How to Seal and Protect Your Outdoor Wood
Step 1 – Prepare the Surface
Sand any deteriorated wood or worn coatings until the surface is smooth and clean. However, you do not need to sand rough-sawn timber. For any green stained wood, use our Green Growth Remover to remove the green staining first.
Step 2 – Apply the Wood Sealer & Protector
Shake well before use. Using a brush, roller, or sprayer, apply the Wood Sealer & Protector directly to the wood.
Step 3 – Apply a Second Coat
Apply a second coat within 30 minutes, before the first coat dries. Two coats will create a water-resistant barrier.
Step 4 – Allow to Cure
The Wood Sealer & Protector will repel rain and spills within 24 hours after application.
The protector is suitable for most untreated or previously sealed softwoods and hardwoods, including pine, cedar, oak, and teak. It works effectively on outdoor furniture, fences, sheds, cladding, and decking.
