Wood has been around for thousands of
years. It has been used by our ancestors to build their homes and to furnish
it. We still use wood to build our homes and to furnish it as well. That’s why
you see wooden houses and furniture wherever you go.
The problem with wood is that unless it has
aged for some time, it is highly susceptible to the elements. This is
especially true of wood that is outside such as those in your deck or that
garden furniture that you have. Even indoor furniture that is made out of wood
will eventually look worn if left unprotected.
In order to protect the wood you have two
options. The first option is to paint the wooden parts. The second option is to
stain them instead. While both have similarities they also function in quite
different ways.
