How to protect wooden elements in the exterior

To maintain the good appearance and extend the life of wooden elements in the yard, it is necessary to take special care of them.

Even when making benches, gazebos, pergolas, cladding, etc., it is necessary to impregnate the wood

This is done with specialized products that penetrate deeply and make the wood less susceptible to moisture, protecting it from woodworms. Most often, impregnants are oil-based, but they can also be based on harmless water-soluble salts.

If the wood is already infected, first treat it with a special product that will destroy the pests. To avoid a new attack, look for a biocidal impregnation.

To be safe, after the impregnation, apply a surface coating and only then the finish coating. Let it have UV filters.
