Most outdoor wooden garden furniture comes in a range of hardwoods such as kwila or teak and some softwoods like pine. While they look great, they are constantly exposed to the elements that would eventually wear them down and expose the wood to become susceptible to rotting, mould and damage to the wood that would affect its colour and appearance. Thus, regular maintenance is required to prevent wear and tear from happening. Deck and Fence Pro is the perfect solution for all your wooden garden furniture needs.
Our Wooden Garden Furniture Restoration Process
Depending on the condition of the garden furniture we’ll be working on, the timber has to be thoroughly cleaned to get of any dirt or unwanted organic material on the surface of the furniture before we start to sand it down to expose the new timber beneath the older surface. We apply a coating of tinted linseed oil stain on the newly sanded surface to make the furniture look brand new.

FAQ
Should I use oil or water-based deck stains?
Water based deck stain is effectively very thin acrylic paint, so thin you can see though it. The problem with it is that it clogs up the pores of the timber making it extremely difficult to maintain because the old residue is virtually impossible to remove. We use good quality oil based wood stain that nourishes the timber and can be recoated time and time again.
Why does my kwila deck have splinters?
Hardwoods such as kwila come from tropical climates that have a lot of moisture in the air. New Zealand’s harsh climate and intense sun quickly dries out the timber causing it to splinter. There is very little that can be done to remedy this, and kwila is becoming less popular as a decking timber.
Do you use a waterblaster to pre-clean the timber?
We use a specialist eco-friendly solution to loosen dirt, contaminants, and dead timber cells followed by a controlled pressure wash to sluice this residue away. Our team are very skilled at this process. Using a waterblaster alone can damage the surface of the timber because the water jet needs to be very close to the timber to have any effect.
How do I maintain my restored deck, fence, or furniture?
A wood stain generally requires a top up coat every 12-18 months to replenish the nourishing oils and UV blockers. We can arrange an on-going maintenance schedule with you following the restoration process that will include a light clean followed by a recoat of the wood stain. In between scheduled maintenance, a mild detergent is all that is needed to remove any bird droppings or spills, and a spray with a moss and lichen inhibitor during winter can also help. It is important to not use harsh deck cleaning agents that may remove the oils contained in the stain. Painted surfaces generally last longer than stained ones but are more susceptible to abrasion.
