Available in a variety of different styles and materials to suit a multitude of aesthetics, exterior furniture provides much to garden owners besides simply offering a spot to sit down and relax.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difficulty arises, however, when the wood is subjected to the harsh realities of British weather. Even the most high-quality furniture can and will be subject to grime over time and can be prone to algae in damp, shaded conditions, as well as sustaining damage from wind and rain. Essentially, it\u2019ll often take quite a beating. To prevent this, there are a number of defences you can enact, as well as treatment products that will restore your garden furniture to its former glory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blog6-ronseal.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blog6-ronseal.jpg\" alt=\"modern-sophisticated-design\" class=\"wp-image-10053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blog6-ronseal.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blog6-ronseal-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sophisticated, modern garden design.
