Timber umbrellas - Care & Maintenance
Outdoor umbrellas are a staple in any garden, patio, or poolside area, offering both style and functionality by providing shade and protection from the elements. However, to ensure they continue to serve you well through the seasons, proper care and maintenance are crucial. Regular maintenance can prevent common issues like fading, mildew growth, and mechanical failure and extend the lifespan of your umbrella to ensure its safety and reliability.
Timber umbrellas require regular treatment with wood sealants to protect and display the natural beauty of the timber as well as to prevent the build-up of dust, dirt, or rotting.
