Basic weatherproofing treatments for basic lumber ? There's tar, which nobody does at home. There's wood oil. What else is there ? Do I have other options ?
- My outdoor furniture use a wood oil plus polyutherane.
- My indoor furniture use just wood oil.
But that’s only in general. There are other considerations like impact resistance and spills that can stain the wood so you have to decide what combination of wood type and treatments work for your goal.
"wood oil plus polyurethane" sounds interesting. NSo you've had no problems with the two reacting badly to each other ? I'll be drilling screws in, so maybe the wood oil adds extra protection where screws penetrate the polyurethane layer.
