Introduction

Why Garden Furniture Ages Fast

Sun cream, red wine, rain and UV turn timber furniture grey and stained.

Why Lacq Produra Is Perfect

Penetrates fibres, seals against spills yet allows wood to breathe. Minimal solvents mean you aren’t sitting on fumes.

How to Stain and Protect Garden Furniture

1. Wash & Dry
   Mild detergent removes grease; rinse and dry.
2. Light Sand (Optional)
   Smooth splinters on arms or seat tops; dust off.
3. Stir & First Coat
   Use a broad synthetic brush; coat underside first, then visible faces.
4. Wait 6 h, apply second coat.
5. Third Coat (Optional)
   Horizontal seat slats benefit from an extra coat for spill resistance.
6. Cure
   Ready for light use in 24 h; full food-safe cure = 48 h.
