Urban wooden benches face constant assault from sun, rain, and public use. The best way to protect their slats is a proactive, multi-step approach. First, start with a deep clean using a mild soap and soft brush to remove dirt and mildew. After the wood dries completely, apply a high-quality, penetrating outdoor wood sealant or oil—like a UV-resistant tung oil or a marine-grade spar urethane. These products create a flexible barrier that repels water while allowing the wood to breathe. Reapply this protective coating at least once a year, or twice in harsh climates. For added longevity, inspect benches regularly for splinters or cracks, sanding minor imperfections before resealing. This consistent care significantly slows weathering, prevents rot, and keeps public seating both beautiful and functional for years to come.
