DIY - Restoring Our Wooden Garden Furniture

It's been a few years since we last did any maintenance work on our teak wood garden furniture, so it's time to take advantage of the good weather and sand everything down, treat it and restore it.

We have seven sets of garden furniture, and we wanted to stain and varnish them in different colours and finishes. This was a painstaking process, involving a lot of trips of to the hardware store and a lot of online research.

Another issue we faced is that wasps have been grinding and stripping some of our outdoor furniture, which makes it look unsightly. The wasps quite literally chew off strips of wood, which they mix with their saliva to make a glue-like paste that becomes the outer shell of their nest. We had to consider dealing with this as part of our garden furniture restoration project.

Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.
