Seasonal Checkups: A Yearly Rhythm for Durable Deck Chairs

As the air warms, brush away winter grit, check every joint, and tighten fasteners. Test slings and legs for wobble. A neighbor once rescued a weathered teak chair with patient sanding and new bolts—proof that small spring rituals revive big comfort. Share your spring checklist.

Choosing the Right Sealant for Your Climate

Humid regions benefit from breathable finishes that resist mildew; arid zones may prefer UV-blocking sealers to prevent checking. Test on a hidden spot first. If local weather swings wildly, schedule lighter, more frequent coats. Comment with your location and we’ll share a tailored tip.
