What is the difference between the natural and clear coat finish?
Over time and with exposure to the outdoor elements, cedar will turn a lovely silver gray color as it ages. If you enjoy the fresh, natural color of cedar and would like your storage bench to weather naturally, you should select the “Natural” finish option. The “Clear Coat” finish is a non-glossy, linseed oil-based sealer that we apply to the bench’s exterior to protect it from the elements and prolong the weathering process. To allow the cedar to breathe and fully retain its natural insect-repelling properties, we leave the inside of the bench untreated, thus the interior of a clear-coated bench will appear slightly lighter than the outside. Clear-coated cedar will assume an attractive pale yellow color as it ages. Keep your outdoor tools, pool gear or toys free from weather damage with the Wellington Storage Bench.
