How Do You Stain Outdoor Wood Furniture?
Adding a brightly colored stain to your outdoor wood furniture is an easy way to quickly brighten up your patio and garden. Outdoor furniture can become dull and weathered over time from continuous exposure to the elements. You can revive your chipped or peeling patio tables and chairs and give them a fresh new look with a bright coat of paint. All you need is wood stain, paint brushes and a few hours to spend outdoors. Prepare your work area by laying newspaper under the furniture if you’re working on grass. If you’re working on concrete, wet the surface with a hose to dilute the stain mixture, allowing it to be quickly washed away. Spray your outdoor wood furniture with a hose to clean it thoroughly. Apply a deck cleaning solution, or brightening solution, to remove accumulated dirt and replenish the wood. Note: Work your way upward with the solution to avoid streaks. Allow the solution to soak into the furniture for several minutes. Scrub away any remaining paint or engrained dirt w
