Wood Care Basic #3: Preserve your wood's beauty and structural integrity by following through with a regular maintenance program.
Once you've built, installed and protected your new wood structure, make sure to contact us every two years for protective maintenance. Daily exposure to UV rays and precipitation will eventually wear away the coating's surface layer, thus making it necessary to re-apply periodically.
To determine if that time has come, splash water on several sections of the wood, and observe how the droplets react. If they bead or puddle, repellency is still active, if they absorb rapidly, another coating is recommended.
Generally speaking, the more water and sun exposure, the more frequent the need to re-apply, but on average you can expect a minimum of two seasons of water repellency on horizontal surfaces, and up to 4 years of repellency on vertical surfaces.
