Seating For 6 Patio Furniture

Seating for 6 patio furniture makes a great choice for an outstanding outdoor entertainment area for your patio or deck. Cedar is the choice of outdoor furniture lumber in the United States because it is native to the region, making it relatively plentiful and inexpensive. Cedar wood is also used because of the natural oil impregnated in the wood that make it resistant to rotting and boring insects.

Cedar�s slightly reddish color and its strong but naturally pleasant odor combine to add to the enjoyment of the seating for 6 patio furniture. In fact, we people realized that the cedar odor acted as a natural insect repellant, many people started to grind the wood into chips and use in closets, drawers and other storage areas to ward of moths and other fabric destroying insects.

Many people prefer to allow their cedar seating for 6 patio furniture to "naturally age" outdoors without using any stain or finishing materials such water sealers. Over time the untreated wood will lose colorful tones and the wood will slowly weather to a handsome silver-gray and at the same time, the grain of the wood will become slightly raised.

Since most cedar outdoor furniture is fastened with zinc hardware, left completely natural this silver-gray color will eventually be highlighted by darker streaks formed from the reaction between the cedar resin and the zinc hardware. If the dark streaks are not for you, we suggest using a simple wood sealer to prevent them from appearing. Even using a sealer, the wood will still eventually turn sliver but the grain won�t become raised.

However, if you would like to preserve the colorful natural reddish tones of the freshly sanded cedar seating for 6 patio furniture simply use a good quality stain on cedar furniture. There is a wide variety of colors to choose from that makes it very easy to match your existing decor.

personally, I do not recommend painting cedar seating for 6 patio furniture because the natural oils in the wood tend to make the paint peel rather quickly and can turn your purchase into something requiring frequent maintenance.
