We understand your concern about insect damage, especially from termites, when investing in outdoor furniture. Our benches are specifically engineered to resist these pests through multiple protective methods.
First, we use pressure-treated wood that undergoes a specialized process where preservatives are forced deep into the wood fibers. These preservatives create an environment that's inhospitable to termites and other wood-boring insects. The treatment penetrates the core of the wood, providing protection that lasts for years without washing out.
For additional protection, we offer benches made from composite materials that combine wood fibers with plastic polymers. Since termites cannot digest plastic, these benches naturally deter infestation while maintaining the appearance of real wood. The composite material also resists moisture absorption, eliminating the damp conditions that attract many insects.
We also apply protective sealants and insect-resistant coatings to our wooden benches. These coatings create a physical barrier that prevents insects from reaching the wood surface. For metal component benches, we use powder-coated finishes that insects cannot penetrate.
Our design philosophy includes minimizing ground contact and using elevated bases where possible. This reduces the likelihood of termites accessing the furniture from soil contact. Regular maintenance recommendations include simple cleaning and occasional resealing to maintain the protective barriers.
Through these integrated approaches—using properly treated materials, selecting insect-resistant alternatives, and incorporating protective designs—our outdoor benches provide reliable, long-term resistance against termites and other insect damage, ensuring your outdoor space remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
