<\/p>\nUsually, when the nice weather is approaching, the concerns for landscaping, terraces and gardens start. But first of all, here's some information on how to protect the wood used in various outdoor landscaping or construction. We are talking about wood for garden furniture, wooden houses, terraces, gazebos, wooden street furniture. In order to withstand outdoor use, this wood needs to be finished. In outdoor wood projects, it is not primarily a question of aesthetics, but of finishes that are resistant to the sun's rays and weathering, which will protect the wood for as long as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In principle, any wood can be used outdoors. But certain species, because of their high tannins<\/a>They are more resistant to weathering or solar radiation. One species widely used for garden furniture, swimming pools and outdoor terraces is teak<\/a>-wood, an exotic, highly tannic wood. Teak also produces an oil that is used to protect other wood species.<\/p>\n The most tannin-rich local wood, with outdoor uses, even in the load-bearing structures of houses, is acacia<\/a>. It's a very hard wood, so hard that it can damage and sometimes even break knives during mechanical machining processes. It is also very tannin, which makes it very resistant to the outdoors, even without special protection. I once saw a piece of acacia wood that had been sitting outside unprotected for more than 10 years. It was slightly blackened and looked moldy. Scraping it very lightly with a knife, I immediately reached the clean, healthy wood. The tannins contained in the acacia give it a particular smokiness. It can have green, orange and even purple iridescence. It is much used for garden furniture, but also for terraces.<\/p>\n Another species used outdoors is oak tree<\/a>. Also a tannic wood, but not like acacia. Such woods are beautiful by nature and don't need special finishes to make them stand out. On the contrary, a discreet, protective finish is all it needs. Materials suitable for such a finish are oil<\/a>\u00a0and wax<\/a> with outdoor resistance.<\/p>\n The oils are absorbed into the wood, increasing its resistance to water<\/strong>. They give a \"wet\" look that brings out the natural design of the wood. The oil does not film, so the final look of oil-finished wood is very natural. For a long time, synthetic oils, those with petroleum derivatives as solvents, were used. Now, due to the general desire to protect the environment, water-dilutable oils have been developed with very good protective properties.<\/p>\n You can also use wax<\/strong> also for a natural-looking finish. There are solvent-based waxes and waterborne waxes. They can be colorless transparent or lightly colored. The totally colorless protects wood the least against UV radiation<\/strong>. If you add coloring pigments<\/a> in wax, resistance increases. The oil or wax finish can be used for garden furniture, decking, paving, decking, arrow slates or other wooden structures.<\/p>\n If you want to find out more about the wood used in exterior projects and what finishes you can apply to it, you can check out the following\u00a0the most resistant wood species for outdoor projects.<\/a>\u00a0Also the article with the most frequently asked questions about exterior wood protection<\/a> can give you the answers you're looking for.

\nWax comes in several variations and can be applied by dipping, brushing or spraying. Single or multiple coats can be applied. Wax finishing has the advantage that, in addition to being water-resistant, it gives a very pleasant silky look and feel.<\/p>\n
