If the product is painted just clean
up ones a while and store in the rainy
days and in winter time and paint
every 2-3 years. If they are natural
or stained, stains is the easiest
protection, however stain does not
last as long as paint. The average
stain can last anywhere from 1 year
to 2 years depending on the quality
of the stain used, the number of
coats applied, and the type of
application. But unlike paint, stain
will not peel or bubble and gradually
fades away over time. Thus it is simple
to keep it looking new from one year
to the next by applying a single fresh
coat each spring. An additional coat
of stain each spring takes only a few
minutes of effort compared to the
hours of labour that painting requires.
