How to Weatherproof, Seal, and Finish a Wooden Picnic Table

In this video I show how to weatherproof, seal, and finish a wooden picnic table. If you have recently bought a pine picnic table from lowes or home depot then you need to seal it. Most wooden picnic tables will rot after just 1 year so finishing your new picnic table is essential. The key when learning how to weatherproof a picnic table is to take your time. How to seal a picnic table is easy but it takes a while. I was thinking about how to finish a picnic table and this is the best I could do. This is not a picnic table build video, but rather a picnic table DIY or a picnic table restoration before it needs it! If you finish your picnic table like this it should last many years.

Tools I Use and Recommend:

Ryobi Drill
Ryobi Impact Driver
Ryobi Miter Saw
Dwalt Table Saw
Ryobi Jig Saw
Ryobi Brad Nailer
Cheap Pocket Hole Jig

Went to buy a built table like this at Home Depot, so I look on YouTube to see how to treat it this vid was perfect and to the point by the time I got off the toilet

One important thing I learnt from this video, paint the bottom first.

For anyone else wondering he used Valspar One-coat exterior stain and sealer - Transparent in Cedar Naturaltone. 1 qt size (946mL = 0.99 quarts). Thanks for the vid I'll pick some of this up in the morning.

Excellently done. I’m working on less words too👍

[darksidedebbie]

Thank you great video! How often would you do this, would i have to redo every year if it's kept undercover during winter?

[jamieroberts]

With a new pressure treated picnic table, should it be left before coating ? Was also thinking of using Ronseal ultimate deck oil, would that be ok ? Thanks

[SS-truw]

how is the table holding up? how often would you recommend re-applying the finish?

[UAPfun]

How do you advise protecting the feet from rot?
