Hawaii's December weather often brings increased humidity and rain, which can take a toll on outdoor wood surfaces like decks, furniture, and fences. Protect them with these steps:
1. Apply a Waterproof Sealant
Use a weatherproof sealant to shield wood from moisture damage, warping, and rot. December is the perfect time to refresh the sealant before the wet season peaks.
2. Clean and Sand Surfaces
Before sealing, clean the wood to remove dirt, algae, or mildew. Sanding smooths the surface, helping the sealant adhere better for long-lasting protection.
3. Cover Furniture When Not in Use
Use weatherproof covers or store wooden furniture indoors to protect it from rain and humidity when not in use.
By taking these steps, you can preserve your outdoor wood surfaces, keeping them strong and beautiful for years to come.
