Care and Maintenance of Outdoor Furniture
Q: I have some of your picnic tables, please can you advise on treatment?
A: Our Furniture is supplied already treated. After a period of 1-2 years you will notice the furniture turning to a grey colour, at this point we recommend treating annually to get maximum life out of the furniture.
The furniture should be treated with a treated with a white spirit based wood preservative, Woodberry can supply a Treatment Kit with everything you will need to treat up to 10 tables.
Q. What to do if cracks are appearing in the timber?
A. Cracks will naturally open and close in the timber with variation in humidity. Unless they are structurally affecting the table (i.e. a part is becoming wobbly) they are best left alone.
Q: What to do if knots in the timber are weeping sap?
A: Knots, especially in strong sunlight sometimes hold so much resin that you can’t stop it from seeping out. However, they do hold a finite amount of sap. Our recommendations are as follows:
Try some clear knotting fluid on some resinous knots in less obvious areas. Scrape off excess sap on the surface and rag on the clear liquid. Try not to spread this liquid onto the timber around the knot too much as when you come to retreat the whole table, the treatment may not sit on the knotting fluid very well.
See if this stops the weeping. It would probably be most cost effective for you to source this knotting fluid locally.

Storage of Outdoor Furniture, Cushions and Parasols
Q: How do I store Rattan Outdoor Furniture?
A: The synthetic rattan furniture that we supply is weather proof. Remove the glass table tops and cushions for inside storage. Stack the armchairs and move the furniture to a sheltered position from the wind if possible.
Q: How do I store outdoor dining tables and chairs over winter?
A: Outdoor furniture is fine to keep outdoors over winter, but if it is not in use, we recommend stacking it in a sheltered place such as the lee of a wall or under a covered area. If storing indoors, store furniture in a cool, dry environment to prevent growth of mould and mildew.
Q: How do I store Parasols over winter?
A: We recommend that you store parasols in a cool, dry place. Do not store in warm or damp conditions as this will lead to mould and mildew growth.
Q: What about cushions?
A: We recommend storing in a cool, dry place.
Q: What about furniture (picnic tables) that I cannot move to a sheltered position?
A: Picnic tables and fixed position outdoor furniture will be fine outdoors over winter. If they are in need of retreatment to preserve the wood, ensure the furniture is dry and choose a dry day for treating it with preserve.

Replacement Parts
Q: My furniture is still within its structural guarantee terms, but is broken what do I do?
A: We pride ourselves in supplying well-built robust outdoor furniture for commercial use. This is why our furniture comes with long term structural guarantees. We do reserve the right to void warranty if the furniture has been mistreated (vehicle impact, cigarette burns, standing on furniture etc). If you have something that has broken, please contact our team.
