Frequently Asked Questions

How is our outdoor furniture constructed?

Rustic outdoor furniture is often constructed using natural materials and traditional woodworking techniques.

Here's a general overview of how rustic outdoor furniture is built:

1. Weather-Resistant: Wood species such as cedar or ponderosa pine which have natural resistance to decay and insects. 
2. Traditional Joinery: methods such as mortise and tenon joints or dowel joints are commonly used. These methods provide stability and durability to the furniture.
3.  Protective Finish: Apply a protective finish to the wood to enhance its durability and weather resistance. Common finishes include outdoor wood sealers, stains, or clear varnishes. Some prefer to leave the wood unfinished to allow it to naturally weather and develop a grayish-weathered look over time.
4. Durable Hardware: Corrosion-resistant hardware such as stainless steel screws or galvanized nails is used to prevent rusting.

Keep in mind that the specific construction process can vary based on the type of rustic furniture you are purchasing (e.g., chairs, tables, benches). Our products come with easy to assemble instructions to guide you through putting together your outdoor furniture.

Why does my log furniture have cracks?

Cracks in log furniture are entirely normal, and it's a natural characteristic of wood. Here are some common reasons why your log furniture will have cracks:

1. Drying Process: Wood undergoes a drying process after it is harvested. During this process, the moisture content decreases, leading to shrinkage and the development of cracks. This is a natural part of the wood drying out.
2. Wood Species: Different wood species have varying levels of susceptibility to cracking. Some species are more prone to cracking than others due to their natural characteristics.
3. Construction Techniques: The way the log furniture is constructed does not weaken the wood due to cracking. You can rest assured that cracking is a strength when it comes to rustic furniture.

While cracks are a common occurrence in log furniture, they can add character and a rustic charm to the piece. Cracks do not indicate structural failure but are a natural common characteristic of log furniture.

How long should my rustic outdoor furniture last?

The lifespan of rustic outdoor furniture can vary depending on several factors, including the type of wood or material used, the quality of construction, and the outdoor conditions it's exposed to. In general, well-maintained and high-quality rustic outdoor furniture can last for many years. We have customers who call to replace their 25 year old furniture!

Here are some general tips to help extend the lifespan of your rustic outdoor furniture:

1. Protective Finishes: Apply a protective finish or sealant to your furniture to help protect it from the elements. Regularly reapply the finish as needed, especially if the furniture is exposed to harsh weather conditions.
2. Proper Storage: If possible, store your rustic outdoor furniture indoors or in a covered area during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow. This can help prevent damage and prolong its life.
3. Regular Cleaning: Clean your furniture regularly to remove dirt, debris, and mildew. Use a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood.
4. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to fading and deterioration of wood. Consider placing your furniture in a shaded area or using outdoor furniture covers when not in use.
5. Check for Damage: Periodically inspect your rustic outdoor furniture for any signs of damage, such as loose joints or cracks. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

By taking these precautions and providing proper care, you can help ensure that your rustic outdoor furniture lasts for many enjoyable years.

How often should I stain or varnish?

The frequency of staining or varnishing rustic outdoor furniture depends on various factors such as the type of wood, climate, and exposure to the elements. In general, outdoor furniture often requires maintenance every 1-3 years. However, it's essential to monitor the condition of the furniture to determine when it needs attention.

Here are some factors to consider:

1. Wood Type: Different woods have varying levels of resistance to weathering. Hardwoods like cedar are more durable and may require less frequent maintenance than softwoods.
2. Climate: Furniture exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as intense sunlight, rain, or snow, may need more frequent maintenance. Extreme weather can accelerate wear and tear.
3. Usage: High-traffic areas or furniture that is frequently used may require more frequent maintenance.
4. Quality of Finish: The quality of the initial stain or varnish and how well it adheres to the wood can impact how often you need to reapply. High-quality finishes tend to last longer.
5. Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect your outdoor furniture for signs of wear, fading, or damage. If you notice the finish is wearing off, it's time for maintenance.
6. Cleaning: Regular cleaning can help extend the life of the finish. Remove dirt and debris regularly to prevent damage to the wood.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific stain or varnish you are using. Additionally, consider applying a clear sealant to provide an extra layer of protection. Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the specific conditions your furniture is exposed to will influence the maintenance schedule.

Should I leave my outdoor furniture outside during the winter?

Leaving rustic outdoor furniture outside during the winter can depend on the type of material it's made from and the specific weather conditions in your area.

Here are some general tips:

1. Weather Resistance: If your rustic outdoor furniture is specifically designed to withstand outdoor conditions, such as being made of weather-resistant wood, it may be okay to leave it outside. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for guidance.
2. Protection: Consider covering the furniture with weatherproof covers to protect it from snow, rain, and harsh winter conditions. This can help prolong the life of the furniture and maintain its appearance.
3. Storage: If possible, storing the furniture in a dry and sheltered space during the winter is the best option. This helps prevent damage from freezing temperatures, snow, and moisture.

Always refer to the care instructions provided by the manufacturer for the specific type of rustic outdoor furniture you have.
