Protecting wooden park benches under sap-dripping trees requires a proactive approach. First, regularly remove fresh sap using a plastic scraper or a cloth dampened with mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol. Never use harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as they can damage the wood fibers. Once clean and completely dry, apply a high-quality outdoor sealant. For maximum protection, choose a penetrating oil sealant or a spar urethane finish specifically designed for exterior wood. These products create a protective barrier that repels moisture and makes future sap cleanup easier. Reapply the sealant at least once a year, or more frequently in areas with heavy sap fall. Consider installing a protective cover during peak sap seasons if practical. With consistent cleaning and proper sealing, your wooden benches can remain beautiful and functional for years, even under the messiest trees.
