Maintenance Guide for Plywood Outdoor Furniture
Because plywood is not naturally weather-resistant, protective treatment and ongoing care are essential : ✅ 1. Protective Coating Make sure the plywood is sealed with outdoor-grade varnish, polyurethane, or marine epoxy . Reapply sealant every 6–12 months depending on climate and wear. ✅ 2. Moisture Protection Keep the furniture under a covered area or use waterproof furniture covers. Avoid placing directly on wet grass or soil—place it on stone, tile, or decking . If water spills or rain occurs, dry immediately to prevent delamination or swelling. ✅ 3. UV Protection Apply a UV-protective finish or use a clear UV spray to prevent fading or cracking from sun exposure. ✅ 4. Cleaning Routine Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deep cleaning, gently scrub with a soft brush—avoid saturating the wood. Clean and air out cushions regularly; store indoors or cover during heavy rain. ✅ 5. Storage During off-season (especially winter), store the furniture in a dry, well-ventilated space to extend its life.
