The importance of protecting your wood
Protecting Your Wood
Think your wood is protected? It has color, it’s protected right! This semi transparent stain was applied over 7 years ago, the color may be there but the protection is not.
Painted wood is not as critical because paint has a harder shell with higher UV protection. If the wood has been properly prepared, primed and received the right amount of mills, with the qualified product. You can get 7-8 years of protection out of it. However I would recommend at least every 5-6 years. The longer unsealed wood is exposed the more preparation is involved. The less it is exposed, the less preparation is needed. Take a moment and examine your wood and get protected before it turns into costly repairs.
