    • Pretty and protected - Paint wooden garden furniture with Eva Brenner

    If you want to enjoy your garden furniture for a long time to come, you should take good care of it. For seating made of wood that are exposed to weather conditions yearround, it’s especially recommended to check the protective coating on it once a year. If the varnish or wood preservative is no longer intact, it's project time for painting wooden garden furniture. TV presenter Eva Brenner, known from various DIY programmes, took on the project of refurbishing a set of teak furniture. As to the question “What’s the easiest way to paint wooden garden furniture”, the do-it-yourself expert only has one answer: she’s going to spray the new wood preservative on! In our guide, Eva shows you step-by-step how to take care of wooden garden furniture and also gives some useful tips on wood preservation.

    How to prepare for painting wooden garden furniture

    First, Eva places the table and the two benches in a protected area and lays a covering material under the table legs. To help the wood preservative penetrate more deeply into the wood and protect it from the effects of weather for longer, wooden garden furniture should always be sanded down. Eva uses an electric sander to do this, which makes this step go a lot faster.

    Now load the stirred material into the paint spray system, do a spray test and dilute the material or readjust the spray jet if necessary. Always wear a respirator for your own protection. We also recommend them for sanding work!

    Brushing wooden garden furniture – or better still, spraying it

    Eva sprays wood preservative onto teak garden furniture at a consistent speed and distance. As she sprays, she overlaps the passes slightly to make sure the coating has good coverage. As an expert, Eva knows the advantages of spraying wood preservative instead of applying it with a brush. In addition to the obvious fun factor, it also protects the wood much better: “When you apply wood preservative with a brush, you create brush strokes where water and dirt can collect. With a paint sprayer, it’s incredibly easy to apply the material evenly and get it into every crack. The preservative layers comes out smooth and without any grooves. As a result, the sprayed coating is more hard-wearing and keeps the furniture protected for much longer.” Once all parts have been sprayed up and down with the wood preservative, it’s time to let the wooden garden furniture dry well.

    Enjoy your wooden garden furniture!

    Now comes the fun part for Eva. She gets to arrange the refreshed wooden garden furniture in well-chosen places and set the scene with a few accessories. An oriental-looking lamp, a big colourful pillow and most strikingly, a trendy outdoor rug lend this outdoor space a cosy, modern vibe. And thus it becomes the living room for the summer – with wellkept, weatherproof wooden garden furniture – just sit back and enjoy!
