Garden Dweller

Whether you have a gazebo, trellis, pergola, or some other structure in your garden that only partially protects the items below it from the elements, you will need to perform some maintenance on those items. Things like deck chairs, picnic tables, and benches will often have pieces that need attention, if not the whole thing in its entirety.

Some will require that they be sanded down, a few might need to be taken apart, treated and reassembled, and others may just need a quick fresh coat of paint. In the case of plastic articles, you may need to use a primer on it, but it is not always a requirement. Give the piece a good wiping down, and assess whether or not it is smooth, as it needs to be either cleaned further and, or sanded if it is not smooth. Then, use a spray paint to coat the item. Make sure it is a spray paint made of the more current formulas, otherwise you may get beads, or other unsightly imperfections. The new paints have been formulated to stick to plastic consistently. Once completely dry you should get another couple of maintenance free use out of them.
