Kit Stone Garden SetsA collection of complete garden furniture sets to grace any lawn, terrace, poolside or patio. When re-treating the furniture, it is essential that it is first cleaned to remove any dirt. Use a scrubbing brush and warm soapy water. When completely dry, lightly sand the furniture paying particular attention to any weathered areas. The Neptune furniture cleaner we sell can be used to assist the cleaning process.
When completely clean and free from weathered areas and detritus, the furniture can then be re-treated following the procedure described above. We hope whichever course of action you choose your furniture gives you many years of happy service. Once built and weathered we do not advocate disassembly for storage, as this will affect long term strength and stability. To help maintain a more original appearance, the furniture should be treated with an application of boiled linseed oil, taking care to follow manufacturers instructions and safety precautions. This is best applied with a cloth rather than brush. Treating the timber will normally help to reduce the amount of end grain cracking and possible warping that can occur over a long period of time. The weathering process is also slowed as it limits the changes in moisture of the wood. It should however be noted that once this course of treatment is started it needs to be continued regularly twice yearly to prevent uneven colouring as the wood weathers. It is not necessary to treat the wood to 'preserve it'. KIT STONE, PO BOX 1364, SWINDON, SN5 8TX, |
